At SEEK our biggest asset is our people, and we are proud of our community of valued, talented and diverse individuals who really know their stuff. Our culture statement, Our SEEK, is all about what makes SEEK unique and a little bit different. Our SEEK clearly outlines the Principles and the Behaviours of our best people, which include:

• Passion: we are passionate about SEEK, our purpose, our customers and our community
• Team: we care about each other and collaborate to achieve together
• Delivery: we execute with excellence and achieve great results
• Future: we think and act for the long term

The Role

• Manage an assigned portfolio of Recruiter customers across a tiered client model, flexing coverage and engagement according to client potential, investment, strategic value and growth opportunity.
• Achieve quarterly and annual revenue, retention and product adoption targets, contributing to sustainable growth across the Recruiter segment.
• Build trusted-adviser relationships with recruitment agency owners, senior decision-makers and SEEK points of contact through relevant, proactive and commercially valuable engagement.
• Develop and maintain client account plans, including stakeholder maps, SOW data, competitor and placement information, customer goals, risks and agreed actions in Salesforce.
• Use data, analytics and customer insight to identify and reduce each client’s ad gap, understand performance and demonstrate the value and ROI of SEEK investment.
• Grow share of wallet and contract value through a balanced focus on retention, new investment, cross-sell and multi-product adoption across Job Ads, PTS, Role Insights, Branded and Premium solutions.
• Learn and confidently position new commercial models, products and features, tailoring recommendations to each client’s recruitment strategy and maturity.
• Identify opportunities to deepen engagement across client brands and stakeholder groups, and to progress accounts between tiers where investment and strategic value warrant it.
• Re-engage inactive or at-risk customers and design SOW, churn-mitigation and win-back strategies that protect investment and create sustainable growth.
• Facilitate product demonstrations, training, webinars and client events, helping customers and their teams get the most from SEEK’s solutions.
• Provide clear customer, competitor and market insight through agreed voice-of-customer channels to inform product, marketing and commercial decisions.
• Use approved AI tools thoughtfully in day-to-day sales planning, account management and reporting, sharing useful practices with the team.

Success in the Role

Success will be demonstrated through:

• Achievement of revenue and L12M growth targets, with a balanced focus on retention, expansion and new business; portfolio growth of around 10% may be used as an indicative benchmark.

• A measurable reduction in client ad gap, supported by accurate opportunity diagnosis, relevant commercial solutions and effective performance conversations.
• High-quality SOW and account-plan data captured in Salesforce, enabling better decisions at client, portfolio and team level.
• Strong client engagement, trusted-adviser status, participation in relevant SEEK events and consistent delivery of agreed account actions.
