Director of Client Management
Dow Jones Energy | Commercial | Reports to VP of Commercial Transformation
The Opportunity
Dow Jones Energy is investing in its client engagement capabilities to deepen partnerships with its most critical accounts. The Client Relationship Manager is a key position within the commercial organization, working alongside Commercial Managers as part of an integrated team embedded directly within a set of strategic accounts.
This is not a traditional account management role. It is a cross-functional, client-facing position designed to elevate the quality and consistency of how Dow Jones Energy engages with its most important customers, from day-to-day interactions through to long-term strategic partnership. The Client Relationship Manager works closely with Sales, Product, and Editorial teams to deliver a cohesive client experience and ensure the full value of the Dow Jones Energy portfolio is realized by each account.
