• Bring experience in the relationship management of a portfolio to be able to develop a key account plan that manages growth of our top accounts vs general accounts while maintaining the balance to support both effectively.
• Provide responsive and efficient management of all inbound enquires and liaise with support, product and implementation teams to ensure a satisfactory outcome for your clients’ requests while providing user feedback/issues to assist product development and enhance our CVP of the channel.
• Actively engage and work closely with the OFX compliance, marketing, operations, sales and development/engineering teams in pursuit of achieving commercial objectives.
• Strictly adhere to the full suite of OFX credit, risk management and group policies.
