<p><strong><span data-contrast="none">The Role</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":320,"335559739":160}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">As Account Director, you'll sit within our Commercial / Partnerships team reporting to our Head of UK Partnerships, and will be working on our partnership with ScotRail - one of our key UK train operating company (TOC) relationships. As such, the role will require regular travel to Glasgow, so you will ideally be based either in Glasgow or within a reasonable travel distance. The role may also require occasional travel to our London head office.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">You'll own the commercial relationship end-to-end, managing stakeholders at all levels to ensure booking and revenue targets are met or exceeded, and that SilverRail is viewed as a valuable, competent and innovative partner.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">You will call on strong commercial instincts and a solid grasp of distribution technology and retailing to understand what drives bookings through ScotRail's channels, working closely with Product, Technology, Customer Operations &amp; Planning to recommend and deliver initiatives that grow partnership value.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">This role will suit someone from a commercial account management or partnership background who is comfortable working with data, product teams, and senior stakeholders. A genuine curiosity about technology, retailing, and customer experience - particularly how AI is reshaping rail retailing - will help you spot the next opportunity for the partnership before others do.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>
