Role Overview
As an Account Manager on our Strategic Partner Accounts (SPA) team, you play a pivotal role in driving the success of your clients and the commercial performance of your portfolio.
You will be responsible for providing proactive, high-touch, strategic engagement to a select group of global, enterprise accounts to ensure they renew, grow, and expand their partnership with Mintel.
