About The Role

This is a strategic client ownership role with commercial accountability.

As Client Services Associate, you will own a portfolio of Interpolitan Money’s most important SME and high-value clients. Your success will be measured by retention, engagement, and account stability, not just responsiveness or activity.

This is not a reactive service desk role and not a relationship role without responsibility. You will be expected to manage complexity, handle pressure, and take end-to-end ownership of client outcomes in a regulated financial services environment.

Key Responsibilities

Retention

  • Own a defined portfolio of strategic accounts with explicit retention and engagement targets
  • Monitor account health indicators including activity levels, service issues, delays, and sentiment
  • Identify early warning signs of churn and take proactive action to stabilise accounts
  • Maintain continuity and trust across the client lifecycle

Client Relationship

  • Build trusted working relationships with key client stakeholders
  • Lead structured check-ins focused on service performance, upcoming needs, and satisfaction
  • Translate client feedback into concrete retention actions
  • Support commercial conversations by ensuring service delivery aligns with client expectations and value

Internal delivery

  • Coordinate across Compliance, Operations, Payments and Commercial teams to resolve issues that threaten retention
  • Escalate with commercial context including revenue impact, client value, and urgency
  • Take end-to-end ownership of client outcomes rather than task completion

Revenue protection

  • Understand the revenue profile of each strategic account, including fees, FX activity, and usage
  • Flag accounts at risk of downgrade, inactivity, or exit
  • Identify opportunities to increase engagement through additional products, services, or structures in partnership with Sales or Relationship Managers
  • Support cross-sell and upsell initiatives by preparing accounts operationally and strategically.

Data, CRM/performance tracking

  • Maintain accurate CRM data including account value, retention status, risks and opportunities
  • Track retention KPIs and contribute to reporting on churn, recovery, and account growth
  • Use data to prioritise effort towards the highest-value and highest-risk accounts

Commercial targets & KPIs

This role carries formal performance targets including:

  • Client retention rate across assigned strategic accounts
  • Reduction in avoidable churn and dormant accounts
  • Recovery of at-risk accounts
  • Contribution to net revenue retention through engagement and expansion support
  • Service-related revenue leakage prevention

Success is defined by clients staying, engaging, and growing, not by volume of activity.

Requirements

Essential

  • Experience in client services, account management, customer success, or retention-focused roles within financial services or regulated environments
  • Demonstrated ownership of client outcomes, not just service processes
  • Commercial awareness and comfort being measured against retention or revenue-linked KPIs
  • Ability to manage complex conversations with clients around issues, expectations, and solutions
  • Strong prioritisation skills across high-value and at-risk accounts

Desirable

  • Experience in Customer Success or revenue retention models
  • Familiarity with account health scoring or churn prevention frameworks
  • Experience working alongside sales or relationship management teams

Success Measures (First 6–12 Months)

  • Measurable improvement in retention across assigned strategic accounts
  • Reduction in reactive escalations linked to service breakdowns
  • Clear visibility of at-risk accounts with documented recovery plans
  • Improved net revenue retention through stabilisation and expansion support
  • Strong internal confidence in the role’s commercial judgement

Benefits

  • Opportunity to learn and develop new skills 
  • Quarterly team celebrations 
  • Attractive Employee Private Health
  • 25 days annual leave 
  • Compulsory Birthday off 
  • ESOP Participation 
  • 2 days annually to volunteer for an initiative or charity 
  • Annual company Unplugged Week
