About the role
As Strategic Account Director, you will own, retain and grow a portfolio of Node4’s largest, most strategically important accounts. You will act as the trusted senior advisor to those clients, driving Microsoft-led transformational services while protecting and expanding revenue across an established managed services and infrastructure base.

Reporting to the Vice President – Corporate Accounts, this is a senior client-facing role with ownership of the account P&L, the client relationship and the long-term account strategy. You will orchestrate Node4’s technical, commercial and delivery teams to deliver measurable client outcomes and a genuine long-term partnership.

The remit has two equally important halves. The first is to protect the core: safeguarding and renewing the existing managed services and infrastructure estate so that the service these clients buy from Node4 remains strong and referenceable. The second is to move each account up the value curve — shaping and closing transformational opportunities across AI business processes, Data, Dynamics Business Applications, Azure, modern work and security — converting an infrastructure relationship into a broader transformation partnership.

Responsibilities

Strategic Account Ownership

• Lead the health, retention and growth of a small number of Node4’s largest accounts, owning the account P&L, the relationship and the long-term strategy

• Build and maintain multi-year account plans for every account in the portfolio, with clear ownership of client outcomes

• Safeguard and renew existing managed services and infrastructure revenue, ensuring strong renewals and continued client value

• Act as the voice of the client internally, ensuring Node4 remains aligned to the client’s agenda

Microsoft-Led Transformation

• Shape and close transformational opportunities across AI business processes, Data, Dynamics Business Applications, Azure, modern work and security

• Build the board-level business case for AI transformation, data, cloud strategy, modern work and security

• Expand clients from infrastructure and networking services into managed and transformational engagements

• Co-sell with Microsoft and key vendor partners, leveraging the Microsoft ecosystem to accelerate growth

• Trusted-advisor mindset: relationship-led, growth-focused, curious, and able to respectfully challenge client thinking and collaborate across internal teams
