Role

TAMs at First Focus combine their deep technical skills and experience in IT systems administration with a desire to provide genuine customer service and deliver pre-sales consulting. It's a perfect role for anyone looking for variety, challenges and career progression as you'll be taking responsibility for the solutions First Focus is delivering to multiple end customers.

Our Technical Account managers work together with our service desk, field techs and engineering teams so there's no shortage of technical backing when you need it.

This role would perfectly suit someone who is currently an experienced Technical Account Manager (obviously), but also a senior Project Management professional with an MSP looking for their next step, an experienced pre-sales professional with a handle on the commercials or even a strong Engineer who loves the people/customer service side of their role.

The perfect candidate for this role will join a team of highly specialised consultants and technical experts.

2. You must be able to demonstrate success managing the relationship with small to mid scale clients across a range of industries and market verticals
3. Your values must resonate with ours. Our values can be found on the First Focus website on the About Us page
4. You must have a driving passion for helping people understand and use technology within their business that leads you to anticipate and pre-empt customer needs.
