Job Description

Bookings & Account Manager

We are seeking a commercially driven and highly organised Bookings & Account Manager to join a growing UK-based cleaning and facilities business specialising in tenancy and construction cleaning services.

In this pivotal role, you will act as the commercial heartbeat of the department — bridging the gap between clients and operational teams. While cleaning crews deliver excellence on-site, you will ensure every client interaction is seamless, professional, and relationship-focused.

This is not a high-volume cold-calling role. Instead, it centres on nurturing existing relationships, converting inbound enquiries, identifying upselling opportunities, and optimising booking schedules to maximise growth and client satisfaction. If you thrive in a client-facing, detail-oriented environment and enjoy combining sales strategy with operational coordination, this role offers long-term growth within a forward-thinking UK business.

Responsibilities

Account Management & Strategic Growth
* Act as the dedicated point of contact for a portfolio of letting agents, property developers, and landlords.
* Build long-term partnerships, ensuring the company is the first choice for all tenancy and construction cleaning requirements.
* Proactively identify and introduce additional services such as carpet cleaning, oven valeting, and specialist construction treatments.
* Conduct regular client “health check” calls and quarterly reviews to maintain satisfaction and forecast upcoming work pipelines.
* Maintain accurate, up-to-date CRM records to ensure a personalised and seamless client experience.

Lead Conversion & Booking Management
* Manage shared inboxes and automated booking systems, responding to enquiries promptly and professionally.
* Convert inbound enquiries into confirmed bookings through consultative sales techniques.
* Coordinate diaries to ensure efficient scheduling and optimal resource allocation.
* Liaise closely with operations teams to ensure smooth project delivery and high service standards.
* Monitor booking trends and identify opportunities to increase revenue and efficiency.

Operational Coordination
* Ensure all client requirements are accurately captured and communicated to cleaning teams.
* Follow up post-service to gather feedback and encourage repeat business.
* Support the Managing Director with reporting, forecasting, and commercial insights.

Qualifications & Experience
* Minimum 2 years’ experience in account management, bookings coordination, or B2B sales.
* Experience working with property, facilities management, construction, or service-based industries is advantageous.
* Strong relationship-building and client communication skills.
* Confident using CRM systems and managing digital booking platforms.
* Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.
* Commercially minded with a proactive approach to identifying growth opportunities.
* Professional, personable, and solutions-oriented.
* Reliable laptop and high-speed internet connection.
* Quiet, professional home working environment.

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

📋

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

🔌

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
