At BlueTech, we work closely with our clients as partners, helping them navigate complexity, identify opportunity, and make better decisions in a rapidly evolving water landscape. This role is about understanding that journey and contributing to it in a meaningful way.
We’re looking for a Key Account Manager who sees commercial growth as the outcome of strong client relationships and shared value creation.
You will work at the intersection of insight and application, building relationships with clients over time, identifying where we can add value, and translating that into tangible commercial outcomes. You’ll be engaging with senior stakeholders across utilities, corporates, and investors, translating complex water innovation into clear commercial value.
This role requires someone who is both relationship-led and commercially driven. Someone who can build trust quickly, think long-term, and at the same time take ownership of pipeline, targets, and results.
Identify, target, and qualify new prospects across key segments
Lead outbound prospecting through campaigns, industry events, and personal network
Conduct exploratory calls and product demonstrations with senior decision-makers
Build and communicate compelling value propositions tailored to client needs
Convert qualified opportunities into new client relationships
Own and develop relationships with existing clients
Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities across BlueTech services
Act as a trusted partner, understanding client priorities and aligning solutions accordingly
Ensure strong client engagement and long-term retention
Manage the full sales cycle from lead to close with discipline and consistency
Maintain accurate pipeline tracking, reporting, and forecasting in HubSpot
Execute structured follow-up and nurturing to move opportunities forward
Collaborate with marketing and research teams to refine messaging and campaigns
Contribute to continuous improvement of sales processes and materials
Fluency in the language of the water technology sector is essential. This goes beyond familiarity. It’s about being able to engage credibly and confidently with senior stakeholders across utilities, corporates, and investors. You understand how the industry thinks, how decisions are made, and where innovation fits into commercial reality.
Ideally, you already have a network within the water space and know how to activate it. You’re comfortable building new relationships, but equally focused on developing them over time, turning initial conversations into something more meaningful and long-term.
What sets you apart is your approach to clients. You see relationships as partnerships, not transactions. You’re naturally curious, you listen well, and you look for ways to create shared value. At the same time, you are motivated by growth, comfortable owning targets, and confident moving opportunities forward.
You know how to build rapport, but also how to guide conversations towards outcomes. You ask the right questions, challenge when needed, and bring structure without making the process feel rigid or forced.
Just as importantly, you value internal collaboration. BlueTech Research is a fully remote team, and strong communication and internal rapport are essential. You work well with others, share context proactively, and contribute to a consistent, unified voice externally. You’re a team player who understands that commercial success at BlueTech is built collectively, not in silos.
Finally, you are highly organised and disciplined in how you work. You manage your pipeline with intent, follow up consistently, and ensure that opportunities don’t drift. You understand that strong relationships and strong commercial performance go hand in hand, and you operate comfortably at that intersection.
3–5 years of experience in a sales or account management role
Direct experience in the water technology sector

Think fast, act smart, stay two steps ahead. BlueTech’s CEO needs a right hand who’s as quick on judgement as they are on logistics — confident, calm, and a little fearless.
At BlueTech Research, we’re looking for more than a traditional Executive Assistant. We’re looking for a right hand, a gatekeeper, and a trusted collaborator to our CEO.
This is a role for someone who thrives in fast-moving, purpose-driven environments. Someone who’s proactive, sharp, and knows how to get things done before they’re even asked. You’ll manage a complex calendar across multiple time zones, keep communications crisp and organised, and make sure everything from strategy meetings to flights runs seamlessly.
But it’s not just about logistics, it’s about judgement. You’ll be the calm in the chaos, helping Paul prioritise what matters most, maintain focus, and keep the bigger picture in view. You’ll spot opportunities, solve problems before they surface, and create space for him to lead BlueTech’s global mission to accelerate water innovation.
We’re looking for someone with confidence, warmth, and a touch of hutzpah. Someone who can hold their own in a conversation with CEOs one moment and troubleshoot a travel issue the next. If you love being the steady hand that keeps everything (and everyone) on track, this role could be your perfect fit.

What you’ll bring
You’re a sharp, composed professional who thrives in fast-moving environments and takes pride in keeping everything (and everyone) one step ahead. You bring strong judgement, clear communication, and the ability to balance urgency with tact. You’re flexible across multiple time zones, and you know how to stay calm under pressure while making things happen behind the scenes.
You’re not someone who just says yes. You know when to challenge, when to push back, and how to offer a better solution with confidence and diplomacy. You think commercially, act intuitively, and always keep the bigger picture in mind.
And above all, you’re a genuinely nice person to work with: friendly, grounded, and professional. You build positive relationships easily, treat colleagues and external partners with respect, and bring warmth and good humour to every interaction. You’re the kind of person who keeps things running smoothly while making it feel effortless and enjoyable, for everyone around you.

These aren’t conferences. They’re tastemaker events.
Spaces where conversations start, collaborations spark, and ideas spread — linked closely with our storytelling through Brave Blue World and Our Blue World.












What you’ll do
You’ll lead the entire lifecycle of multiple global events — from strategy to execution — ensuring each gathering reflects BlueTech’s standard of thought leadership while meeting commercial and operational goals.
This role combines business acumen, relationship-building, and flawless execution. You’ll have full P&L responsibility for the Unplugged series and will be expected to manage budgets, build partnerships, and deliver events that are both meaningful and financially sustainable.
Responsibilities
• Lead end-to-end planning and delivery of BlueTech Forum Unplugged events worldwide.
• Develop event concepts, agendas, and themes that reflect our research and thought leadership.
• Manage the event P&L: budgets, cost control, sponsorship revenue, and ROI tracking.
• Build relationships with sponsors, partners, and delegates to ensure long-term engagement.
• Oversee venues, vendors, AV, and logistics to deliver seamless, high-quality experiences.
(Conferences and special activations)
• Coordinate BlueTech’s participation at key industry conferences such as WEFTEC and AquaTech, including exhibition management, speaking engagements, and networking activities.
• Support and manage special film screenings (e.g., Our Blue World and Brave Blue World) featuring BlueTech speakers or moderated panels.
• Liaise with partners, sponsors, and event organisers to ensure BlueTech’s brand and team presence are consistent, professional, and impactful.
• Handle onsite logistics, schedules, and travel arrangements for BlueTech team members and speakers.
(Virtual Roundtables, webinars, and briefings)
• Plan, schedule, and deliver Virtual Roundtables and webinars — from topic development and speaker coordination to invitations and post-event reporting.
• Oversee event platforms and technical delivery (e.g., Zoom Webinar, Teams).
• Manage registration, communications, and participant follow-up.
• Collaborate with marketing and research teams to align topics and audience targeting.
• Track attendance, feedback, and engagement metrics to refine future sessions.
