Key Account Manager

1 Days Old

At Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals we're looking for a strategic, technically credible and highly relationship-focused National Key Accounts Manager. This is not a value-driven sales role, it's a long-term, influential position centrered on building trust and shaping specifications with some of the UK's and world's leading architectural and engineering practices.

You'll be at the forefront of early-stage engagement with major specifiers. Your role is to build deep, high-value relationships that unlock project pull-through and create scalable, repeatable specification pathways for our Waterproofing and Concrete Repair solutions - and beyond.

This is a critical role that blends technical credibility, commercial acumen and strategic key account leadership, helping our customers reduce design risk, improve sustainability outcomes and leverage our innovative, service-led solutions.

This is a national UK role, a lot of your time will be spent in and around the London area with the need for overnight stays. Candidates should possess a full UK driving license.

What we're looking for:

A background in technical and/or specification sales - ideally working with architects, engineers or similar consultative environments
Able to confidently engage senior stakeholders and present technical concepts with clarity and credibility
Commercially astute, organised and analytical - comfortable planning high-impact time in London
A relationship builder who values long-term strategic influence over quick-win selling
Experience with major practices, tier-1 engineering consultancies or large developers
Familiarity with framework agreements, project workflows or design-led consultancy environments

What you will be doing:

Building strategic relationships at senior-level, with architects, consulting engineers, developers and major client bodies
Focus on building long-term trust, demonstrating expertise, and creating specification preference early in the design cycle
Work with design teams as a technical partner, helping them make informed decisions on waterproofing, concrete repair and adjacent building integrity requirements
Drive service-led, value added engagements such as championing our service level offer ensuring specifiers receive fast, accurate and dependable support
Identify and map key projects, influencers and commercial pathways
