Major Account Manager

Major Account Manager – (Big 4 Accounting Firms)
Location: London 

As a Major Account Manager, you will own and grow Fortinet’s relationships across the Big 4 professional services firms – Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC. You will play an integral role in new business pitches, hold responsibility for the effective onboarding of new clients, and focus on growing and developing these strategically important global accounts. This is a high-profile role that will allow you to leverage your existing network and credibility within the Big 4 to run and grow opportunities, write account and business plans for current and prospective tender opportunities, and act as the key interface between the customer and all relevant Fortinet divisions.

Target Accounts

This role is focused specifically on the Big 4 accounting and professional services firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC). Given the scale, complexity and global footprint of these organisations, we are looking for a candidate who already understands how these firms buy technology, how their internal IT, cybersecurity and procurement functions operate, and who can credibly navigate their matrixed, multi-territory structures from day one.

• Effectively engage and build cooperative relationships with System Engineers, Channel Managers, and specialist sales teams and executives as required.
• Drive quarterly business reviews with customers to ensure value from Fortinet investment.
• Ensure the customer is kept up to date with Fortinet product roadmaps, enabling the customer to plan and mitigate risks to their business.
