Strategic Client Relationship Manager (Barrie)
Encore Corporate Travel
In account management, the relationship is everything. Every moment either deepens that relationship or quietly erodes it. There is no neutral.
Encore has held an average client retention of 15 years. That only happens with trust, and we are looking for someone who can build it and maintain it.
The Role As Account Manager, you are the trusted strategic partner to a portfolio of clients and the central relationship across every stakeholder in their travel program: executives, procurement, finance, travel arrangers, and travelers themselves. You own the relationship, protect the program, and connect the internal teams to deliver what the client actually needs, not what was last quoted.
Encore runs complex, high‑stakes corporate travel programs for clients across North America, with deep specialization in financial services. This is not a service‑desk role. It is a strategic role. You lead the account, shape the program, and carry the voice of the client into every internal conversation that affects them.
What You’ll Do Own the client relationship across every stakeholder.
Build trust and tailor your cadence to each stakeholder’s needs.
Act as the client’s voice in every internal conversation that affects them.
Run ongoing discovery to understand how the client’s business is changing, what their goals are, and where the program is either keeping up or falling behind.
Build and execute a strategic account plan for each client.
Analyze program data and translate it into actionable insights.
Guide clients through adoption of new technologies and policy updates without making it feel like change for the sake of change.
Facilitate collaboration across operations, technology, finance, supplier relations, and customer support.
Lead Quarterly Business Reviews that make the value of the program visible.
Monitor account health against KPIs and client‑specific metrics.
Identify savings, efficiencies, and improvements the client has not yet asked for.
Produce program summaries and dashboards that read as decisions, not data dumps.
Intervene before issues become escalations and drive corrective actions.
Identify where Encore can add value the client has not yet asked for.
Support RFPs and renewals with depth gained from truly knowing the program.
Requirements Proven ability to build trust‑based relationships with senior stakeholders across executive, procurement, HR, and operational functions.
Ability to communicate effectively, briefing a CFO, partnering with a procurement lead, and reassuring a traveler in the same afternoon, in writing and in conversation.
Analytical discipline to read program data and surface what matters.
Organizational judgment to manage multiple accounts and competing priorities at the pace the work demands, while keeping detail in focus.
Commercial fluency to negotiate contracts and supplier agreements that protect the client’s value.
Ownership instinct to identify what a client needs before they ask and to drive it forward without being assigned.
English fluency, given frequent communication with a predominantly English‑speaking client base located outside Quebec.
An Asset Bilingual fluency in English and French.
Background in corporate travel, Meetings and Events, or a comparable client‑facing role in a regulated or high‑stakes vertical.
Who Thrives Here The clients Encore serves are demanding in the right ways. They expect their account manager to know the program better than they do, to think proactively, and to define the next step before they have to ask for it. The people who do their best work here find that energizing, not exhausting, and take ownership of the outcome regardless of where the problem started.
Gestionnaire stratégique des relations clients En gestion de comptes, tout repose sur la relation. Chaque échange la renforce ou l’affaiblit. Il n’y a pas d’entre‑deux.
Le rôle En tant que Gestionnaire stratégique des relations clients, tu deviens le point de repère de chaque client dans ton portefeuille. Dirigeant.e.s, équipes d’approvisionnement, finances, de voyages, voyageur.se.s, tu connais tout le monde, tu navigues entre eux avec aisance, et tu t’assures que le programme livre ce dont le client a réellement besoin.
Encore gère des programmes de voyage d’affaires complexes pour des organisations à travers l’Amérique du Nord, avec une expertise marquée dans les services financiers. Ce rôle n’est pas de la gestion de service, c’est de la stratégie. Tu mènes la vision du compte, tu façonnes le programme dans le temps, et tu te fais la voix du client dans chaque décision interne qui le touche.
Les responsabilités Être la présence que le client ne remet jamais en question et construire la confiance interaction par interaction.
Adapter ta façon de communiquer à chaque interlocuteur(trice) : un.e CFO a besoin d’entendre ce qu’un.e voyageur.se veut sentir en interne.
Faire évoluer le programme avec intention en restant curieux.se de ce qui change chez le client, en analysant les données et en proposant des ajustements avant qu’on te les demande.
Coordonner opérations, technologie, finances, fournisseurs et soutien client pour que l’expérience soit fluide et animer des bilans trimestriels qui rendent la valeur visible.
Surveiller la santé de chaque compte, identifier économies et inefficacités, et livrer des bilans qui se lisent comme une conversation stratégique.
Désamorcer les problèmes tôt, gérer avec calme et assurer que les mêmes problèmes ne se répètent pas.
Protéger et développer ce que tu as bâti en identifiant où Encore peut apporter plus avant que le client le demande, et soutenir les appels d’offres avec une profondeur de connaissance du programme.
Essentiel Un historique de relations solides avec des parties prenantes senior et la réputation d’être la personne qu’on appelle avant qu’un problème en soit un.
Un registre de communication qui s’adapte naturellement: stratégique avec un.e dirigeant.e, opérationnel avec une équipe terrain, rassurant.e avec un.e voyageur.se.
Une aisance avec les données, pas pour tout rapporter, mais pour faire ressortir ce qui mérite attention.
La capacité de jongler avec plusieurs comptes sans perdre le fil de ce qui compte vraiment.
La maîtrise commerciale pour négocier contrats et ententes fournisseurs avec une priorité claire : protéger la valeur du client.
Un instinct d’agir avant qu’on te le demande : identifier un besoin, le formuler, le faire avancer.
Maîtrise de l’anglais, compte tenu d’une clientèle majoritairement anglophone à l’extérieur du Québec.
Un plus Bilinguisme anglais‑français.
Une expérience en voyage d’affaires, en réunions et événements, ou dans un rôle client similaire dans un secteur réglementé ou à enjeux élevés.
Qui s’épanouit ici Les clients d’Encore ne veulent pas être gérés. Ils veulent être compris et sont rapides à remarquer quand celui‑ci échoue. Les gens qui durent ici sont ceux qui trouvent l’engagement au client naturel, qui prennent des initiatives et finissent la journée avec la satisfaction de la qualité livrée.
Si ça te parle, on aimerait faire connaissance. #J-18808-Ljbffr
