Account Manager - Marine

We are looking for an Account to join our Commercial team on a 13 Month fixed term arrangement to cover parental leave for our Marine segment from the end of August 2026.

This is a key relationship focused role responsible for managing and growing partnerships across our commercial and sector customer base within the Marine sector.

If you thrive on building strong customer relationships, enjoy working collaboratively with technical experts and want to contribute to an organisation with real impact, we would love to hear from you.

With a global reputation for using science and technology to help customers and the public navigate the impacts of the weather, MetService is recognised as a diverse and inclusive employer with our people contributing passionately to the core purpose of helping people stay safe and make informed decisions.

Our changing climate, increasing impacts from weather and changes in the way the public consume weather information means that way MetService engages in the future will continue to evolve.

The purpose of this role is to:

• provide outstanding commercial and technical account management to MetService clients in order to maintain and grow the client base, and
