SEP pilot managing emerging customers

reports to: for the pilot EVP, Enterprise Opportunity

About the SEP pilot “managing emerging customers”

With this pilot the dedicated SEP group responsible for the project “managing emerging customers” wants to build a global governance for customers that require an international SPOC or international account management from Randstad but are not meeting the criteria to become a RESC (Randstad Enterprise Strategic Customers) customer with a dedicated Global Enterprise Lead. In the pilot phase, around 10 customers are identified to focus on where we want to formalize the opportunity management for all opportunities for these customers with a support offshore. Also we want to add a global SPOC for these customers that will support a local key account manager taking the role of global relationship manager for the customer as well as connecting with customers for “contract to cash” activities.

Purpose of the job

You will be responsible for supporting local key account managers for customers for a well defined pilot in SEP29 & act as a single point of contact for these customers providing account management services.

You will be responsible for supporting the local key account manager who will build a global relationship with the customer by engaging with all involved Randstad opcos to deliver content for review meetings and other international meetings. You will also be responsible for the preparation for the QBRs by gathering all the information from the opco’s and aligning with the strategy set by the local key account manager. You will participate in these international customer meetings and take notes as well as action points. In addition you will secure the follow-up on the day-to-day business with the opcos.

Another responsibility is “contract to cash”. Once a contract is implemented you will have frequent meetings with the opcos in order to make sure we get all value out of the signed contract. This contains as an example making sure we receive all requests from the customer, as well as monitoring the fulfillment of the requests and create actions plans with the opco or customer in case improvement is needed.

You will be part of a global and virtual team. Together you will learn from each other ensuring you bring a consistent, repeatable and scalable approach towards our stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will span multiple regions and timezones, where you will build and nurture global relationships with (inter)national colleagues across the Randstad Group. Bringing a high level of engagement and participation you have the personal drive to bring our opportunities to the forefront and convert them to the next commercially viable stage, which connects people, process and the ultimate assembly of a winning and well crafted value proposition.

This role also includes other projects related to the pilot.
