As a trusted advisor, facilitator and advocate, your role is to ensure that customers achieve their strategic business goals and realise value from their use of Token.io's Open Banking products and services.  As this is a commercially focussed role, measurement of your success will ultimately be visible through the increase in transactional volumes against set targets through their existing engagement, but also the promotion of new and additional services and lengthened relationships.

A fluent French speaker, you will build and maintain positive relationships by engaging with multiple contacts at a variety of levels, including executive roles. You will be responsible for building and implementing a detailed account enablement plan for each of these strategic relationships.  This plan will drive adoption and volume, realise value, and will also bridge the gap between the product teams to ensure a consistent knowledge-share of the latest features and developments.
