One of our clients, a trusted provider of hosting and cloud solutions, helps businesses optimise their infrastructure, strengthen security, and scale with confidence.

We are looking for a Technical Account Manager (TAM) to join our growing team. This role is perfect for someone who is technically curious, commercially aware, and passionate about building lasting client relationships.
Role Overview
As a Technical Account Manager, you will act as the bridge between our clients and our customers, ensuring their hosting, cloud, and security solutions deliver maximum value.

- Guide clients through onboarding, migrations, and upgrades, liaising with engineers to ensure smooth delivery.
- Identify upsell/cross-sell opportunities and support contract renewals with clear value evidence.

- Stay current on industry trends, cloud/hosting best practices, and emerging technologies to advise clients effectively.
