Senior Account Manager | MSP / IT Solutions £55,000 to £60,000 + uncapped commission Manchester | Hybrid working (3–4 days in the office with travel expected) A growing MSP and technology solutions business is looking to appoint a Senior Account Manager to join the commercial team during an exciting period of growth and transformation. This is far more than a traditional account management role. The business is investing heavily in its sales function and looking for someone who can bring energy, structure and commercial drive into the team. You’ll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact, both in terms of revenue growth and shaping how the sales function evolves moving forward. The role will combine managing and developing existing client relationships with generating new business opportunities across a broad technology portfolio including cloud, infrastructure, networking, cyber security and managed services. You’ll be engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, from technical teams through to senior leadership, helping clients navigate complex technology challenges and identify the right solutions for their business. What we’re looking for: • Proven sales success within an MSP, IT reseller or technology solutions environment is essential, • Experience selling consultative, multi-service solutions rather than a single product offering, • Exposure to key vendor partnerships such as Cisco, Microsoft or similar, • Strong relationship building and stakeholder management capability, • Commercially driven, proactive and motivated by growth, • Someone naturally curious and invested in continuous development What’s on offer: • A visible, influential role within a growing business, • Strong existing vendor partnerships and a warm client base, • The chance to help shape the direction of the commercial function, • Long-term earning potential through a recurring commission structure, • A collaborative and ambitious leadership team If you’re currently working within an MSP or IT solutions business and feel ready for a role where you can make a bigger impact, I’d love to have a confidential conversation.

InstallPros are UK-based technology installation specialists. We operate two established divisions: • Security as a Service - professionally installed Hikvision CCTV and Ajax intruder alarm systems for residential and commercial clients, • Starlink & Networking - satellite internet, structured networking, and Wi-Fi optimisation for homes and businesses where traditional broadband falls short Demand across both divisions is strong, our pipeline is full, and we're expanding our remote sales team to convert it. The Role We're looking for an experienced security systems sales professional to take ownership of inbound enquiries and close installations for Hikvision CCTV and Ajax intruder alarms - with the additional opportunity to sell Starlink and networking solutions to a large customer base. This is a 100% remote, commission-only role. You'll be working a high volume of pre-qualified inbound leads - customers who have actively enquired about CCTV, intruder alarms, Starlink, or networking. No cold calling. No prospecting. Your job is to understand their requirements, specify the right system, and close the sale. Security will be your primary focus and the bulk of your pipeline. Starlink and networking sit alongside it - many security customers also need connectivity solutions, particularly on commercial sites and rural residential properties. Installations typically range from several thousand pounds to five-figure jobs, especially on the commercial side, so commission per deal is substantial. What You'll Be Doing • Converting pre-qualified inbound enquiries across Security, Starlink, and Networking, • Scoping residential and commercial security requirements over the phone and via virtual surveys (Google Earth), • Specifying appropriate Hikvision CCTV and Ajax alarm configurations based on site needs, • Identifying cross-sell opportunities for Starlink and networking on existing security jobs (and vice versa), • Producing accurate quotes and proposals, • Managing the sales pipeline through our CRM, • Following up warm leads professionally and persistently, • Coordinating with our installation teams to book jobs efficiently Who This Role Is For This role is not suitable for general sales generalists, or reps without security or telecommunications experience. To be considered, you must have: • Proven sales experience in the security or telecommunications industry - CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, or monitored security, networking/IT, broadband etc., • The ability to confidently scope a security system from a customer brief (camera counts, coverage, NVR sizing, alarm zoning, etc.), • A track record of closing residential and/or commercial security or broadband installations, • Strong phone-based consultative selling skills, • Experience working to KPIs and managing a pipeline through CRM, • UK-based, available during UK business hours Strongly Preferred • Direct experience selling Hikvision CCTV product lines and Ajax intruder alarm systems, • Experience handling both residential and commercial accounts, • Basic understanding of networking and Wi-Fi requirements (helpful for cross-selling), • Any prior exposure to Starlink, broadband, or connectivity solutions is a bonus, not a requirement - we'll provide product & sales training If you've never sold security systems or wifi and networking systems before, this role isn't for you - please don't apply. Earnings & Commission • £50 per base sale + 10% of net profit on every installation - applies across Security, Starlink, and Networking, • Both residential and commercial security jobs commonly run from £2,000 to £15,000+, meaning meaningful commission per deal, • Starlink and networking add-ons increase deal value and total commission per customer, • No earnings ceiling, • Performance bonuses available, • Realistic earnings reflect both deal volume and deal size - strong closers earn significantly more per sale than typical telecoms commission structures allow, • Commission payment is bi-weekly Growth & Progression This role is built for someone who wants to grow with the business. Top performers will have the opportunity to: • Take on a larger share of new service lines as they're introduced, • Progress into Senior Sales or Sales Manager positions, • Onboard and mentor new reps as the team scales Management roles are earned on performance, not tenure. Why Work With InstallPros • Simple and fast sales processes, • Fully remote - work from anywhere in the UK, • High volume of pre-qualified inbound leads across two active divisions - no cold calling, • Established installation infrastructure and supplier relationships already in place, • Cross-sell opportunities built into the customer base - more commissions per lead, • Direct line to leadership - no corporate politics, no micromanagement How to Apply Please apply with: • Your CV, • Short written answers to the following: How many years have you spent selling security systems, and what products/brands have you sold?, • Walk us through a recent commercial or high-value residential security installation you closed - what was the brief, what did you specify, and what was the deal size?, • Have you sold Hikvision CCTV and/or Ajax intruder alarms specifically? If so, in what capacity?, • Do you have any experience selling broadband, or networking solutions? (Not required, but useful to know.), • Why does a remote, commission-only role appeal to you at this stage of your career? Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in our role playing call process prior to onboarding. Important This role is UK-based only. Applications without demonstrable security systems sales experience will not be reviewed. General telecoms, broadband, or IT sales backgrounds still qualify for this role.

We’ll support them (you!) in whatever that might be and recognise that it’s our job as an employer to give our team every opportunity to make their goals a reality. We want to continue building an amazing place to work. A place where you can be yourself, do your best, and ultimately grow as both a person and a colleague. We do this through a supportive culture, flexible working, perks and continuous commitment to learning and development. See more on this below. Part of becoming a great place to work is that we’re committed to including people of all backgrounds and experiences. That includes race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, family or parental status. We want to hear from you! WHY IS THIS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY? (why we’re even hiring) Over the past seven years, we’ve grown in size and reputation extremely quickly by hiring talented people who truly care about getting results for the businesses we partner with, then providing them with the tools, support and training they need to excel. We’re a fast growing team of 50+ that packs a punch, currently on pace to grow +30% again within the next 12 months. We’re looking for someone who wants to join a quickly growing, well organised people-first business at an incredibly exciting and pivotal time of growth, whilst accelerating their own career. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast growing company - without all the pitfalls of typical ‘startups’ - and personally impact the growth of businesses that are making a real difference. OUR CLIENTS 99% of our clients are direct to consumer eCommerce brands and typically fall somewhere into the below categories: Fashion, apparel, jewellery FMCG Plants, greetings & misc. gifts Sports & fitness Subscriptions Many are leading global brands. Some are bootstrapped, founder owned & run. They all trust us to significantly impact their growth through performance creative.. Importantly, we ensure every client we sign is thoroughly vetted before we even offer to take them on. It’s important to us to grow the right way, with clients who we genuinely want to work with. Here’s our criteria: They’ve got to pass the “lunch test”. They’ve got to be genuine, friendly people to work with. Would we want to hang out or go and have lunch with them? Great relationships breed great work, and we want to give you a supportive environment to work and grow in, not clients who are unreasonable. They’ve got to have a product(s) and brand we can get excited about as a team. Nothing worse than working on a brand you don’t believe in. They’ve got to want to be led and challenged creatively. We partner with businesses to help them think differently, grow faster, and build lasting brand value. If they fit this criteria and we want to work together, then we’ll go ahead, but only if we’re sure it will be a strong partnership and only if we’re confident we have the capacity and resource in the team to make it happen. Just some of our clients (Paid Social, Google Search, Creative, Data Science): Antler Pangaia Smalls HelloFresh My Sunday Ski Pom Pom London ...amongst others OUR TEAM We’ve gone against the typical agency model and hired an extremely senior team first. Logic being, it’s important to build a firm foundation: be in a position to actually provide a great service to clients, and provide consistent up-skilling opportunities to the wider team as we grow. Creative Strategists: All incredibly strong on consumer psychology, positioning, brand and the latest trends on social. They concept, brief and analyse creative to continue fuelling ad account growth. Design Team: Experts across the full creative spectrum, from campaign-style motion through to low-fi organic feeling content. They bring ideas and brands to life, ensuring the thinking behind our creative lands in the context of social. Operations Team: An essential team of highly organised individuals ensuring the volume and scale of creative that we put out remains slick and well oiled. Each of our team members is empowered to work and communicate closely with each other at all levels of the business. THE ROLE We’re looking for a Mid or Senior Creative (Motion & Graphic Designer) to join us who is excited about taking on a new challenge and quickly growing with us as a business. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast growing business, taking on a lot of responsibility in a critical design role. If you have a passion for creating motion and graphics content to directly impact business growth, discovering social trends, capturing an audience, building businesses, and are keen to have a lot of fun doing it – this is the role for you. Day to day you will work closely with our Creative & Paid Media Teams at all levels to make brand and performance-led content for our clients’ paid social advertising channels. Driven by the data that our wider team specialises in, this content will be optimised for peak ad-performance. Motion-design is a requirement, but you should also be comfortable with still imagery and more native-feeling social content too. While support is always on-hand, this is a senior role and you will be expected to be comfortable with a large degree of independence from the get-go. We have regular company socials, hangouts, events and meet-ups, with a real focus on maintaining our company culture. So if you’re enthused by being surrounded by a fun, high performing team doing some industry leading work who challenge and bring out the best in each other, we want to hear from you! Here are some things you should know about how we work and what we expect as a team: Work smart and do work you’re proud of. Your time is your own. Manage it well.

You'll work closely with software teams to instil DevOps principles and drive a push-button deployment culture. This role is based on greenfield DevOps transformation, with the autonomy to make the right calls. What Makes It Interesting: • Build and shape a CI/CD platform from the ground up - real ownership, not inherited tech debt, • Work across a polyglot engineering environment (.NET, Java) and multi-cloud infrastructure, • Drive automation that directly reduces risk in a regulated payments environment, • Collaborative culture that values outcomes, initiative, and engineering craft over process, • Real scope to grow as the DevOps function scales What You'll Be Doing: • Design, build, and maintain reusable CI/CD pipelines with built-in quality and security gates, • Drive automation that eliminates manual build, test, and deployment steps, • Define and implement IaC strategies using Terraform and Ansible, • Partner with engineering teams to embed DevOps principles and toolchain standards, • Ensure platform security through best-in-class secrets management and cloud security controls, • Monitor and improve platform reliability using delivery metrics (deployment frequency, MTTR, change failure rate), • Evaluate new tooling and provide technical guidance on architecture and process improvements What We're Looking For: • 3–5 years of hands-on CI/CD and DevOps experience, • Strong experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins, • Solid Terraform and Ansible skills for infrastructure and configuration as code, • Cloud experience across one or more of AWS, Azure, or GCP, • Understanding of containerisation (Docker), secrets management, and pipeline security practices, • Scripting in Python, JavaScript, or similar, • Strong understanding of networking, SSL, VPN, and certificate lifecycle management, • Linux and Windows OS experience Advantageous: • Experience across two or more of AWS, Azure, and OCI, • GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Actions expertise, • Cloudflare configuration and management, • Familiarity with Artifactory, Cloudsmith, or similar package management tools, • Exposure to .NET and Java technology stacks This role will suit someone who is comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering and operations - someone who enjoys enabling developer velocity as much as they enjoy solving infrastructure problems. You're proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and take pride in automation that just works. Research indicates that men will apply to a role when they only meet 50-60% of the descriptions, however, when looking at women and other minority groups, they can look for up to a 99% match in order to apply to a role. If you feel you are a fit for our role, please still apply, don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. We’d still love to hear from you.
