The Company
We're partnering with a globally recognised economic research and consultancy organisation providing subscription-based insights, forecasting, macroeconomic models and sector-specific analysis. Their products are used by institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, hedge funds, and major real estate consultancies.
With over 600 employees, a strong reputation, and a market-leading economic modelling platform, the company is expanding its European Real Estate sales function and hiring a French-speaking Account Manager to support growth across the region.
The Role
This is an account-focused sales role responsible for managing, retaining and growing a Pan-European portfolio, with France being your primary market. You'll inherit a set of existing accounts and will be responsible for renewals, expanding subscription value, reducing cancellation risk, and introducing new services to senior real estate and investment leaders.
You'll work closely with internal economists and product specialists to deliver insight-led conversations, ensuring clients extract maximum value from the platform. Success in this role requires confidence, commercial awareness, and the ability to build strong relationships with sophisticated stakeholders in finance and real estate.
You'll spend three days per week (Tuesday-Thursday) in the London office, collaborating closely with peers, shadowing senior team members, and participating in economist briefings. There is one CSM in the team, so you'll play an active part in client communication, planning and account strategy.
Responsibilities:
- Manage a book of 40-50 real estate and financial services accounts across Europe.
- Own renewals, account value protection and cancellation-risk reduction.
- Drive revenue growth on your account base

- Introduce clients to new services and insight offerings from the economist team.
- Manage territory plans, inherited leads and pipeline activities.
Requirements:
- Fluent French speaker (essential).
- University degree required.
- 3+ years in account management or client management
- Experience with institutional investors, real estate clients, or research/insight products is a strong advantage.
- High energy, resilience, confidence and the ability to engage senior, analytical stakeholders.
- Strong commercial judgment with the ability to upsell and retain subscription clients.

- £50-55K base salary.
- £10-15K OTE (quarterly commissions on subscription growth, renewals + team performance).
