Account Relationship Manager - Strategic Network Partnership (North England and Scotland)

The Role

Flagstone's relationship with one of the UK's largest national wealth networks is the largest and most strategically significant partnership in the business, it's a corporate agreement giving the network's Partners access to the Flagstone platform to refer their clients' cash. With over 5,000 Partners across four regions and significant untapped potential, the ARM role is central to how we grow.

The ARM – Strategic Network Partnership role is both a sales and a relationship role. You will be proactively visiting Partners across the north of England and Scotland, educating them on the Flagstone proposition, encouraging and enabling them to refer their clients, and ensuring that any barriers to referral are identified and removed. At the same time, you will be the first point of contact when Partners have queries or need support.

What You'll Be Doing

Proactive Partner Engagement

• Own a defined regional portfolio of Partners, taking personal responsibility for the depth of engagement and the volume and quality of referrals generated
• Spend the substantial majority of your time in the field visiting Partners in their offices and practices, attending regional network events, and building face-to-face relationships that drive consistent referral behaviour
• Proactively reach out to Partners who are registered but not yet actively referring, understanding what is holding them back and working to unlock their activity
• Work to deepen engagement with active Partners, helping them identify more of their clients who could benefit from the Flagstone platform

• Develop a thorough understanding of the network's adviser framework, the restrictions Partners operate under as Appointed Representatives, and how Flagstone fits within the products they are permitted to recommend
• Use insight from Partner conversations to feed back objections, platform friction points, or proposition gaps that are limiting referral activity

Reactive Support & Pipeline Management

• Act as a knowledgeable and responsive point of contact for Partners when they have questions about Flagstone, the referral process, or platform features
• Resolve queries with pace and accuracy, always closing the loop with the Partner
• Support Partners through the onboarding of referred clients, ensuring any friction is addressed quickly
