Are you a relationship-driven recruitment professional who thrives on building strong client partnerships and delivering workforce solutions that make a real impact?
At Manpower, part of the global ManpowerGroup network, we're looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our South Australian team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is an exciting opportunity to manage key client relationships, grow existing accounts, and play a pivotal role in connecting businesses with the talent they need to succeed.
About the Role
As an Account Manager, you'll be responsible for managing and growing a portfolio of clients, ensuring exceptional service delivery while identifying opportunities to expand our workforce solutions offering. You'll work closely with recruitment teams, contractors and client stakeholders to deliver outstanding outcomes and strengthen Manpower's presence across South Australia.
While this is primarily an account management and client-facing role, you will also support recruitment activities where required, including candidate sourcing, redeployment of existing talent, workforce planning and ensuring clients have access to quality candidates in a timely manner.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with existing and prospective clients
  • Managing key accounts and developing strategic account plans
  • Identifying and converting new business opportunities within existing client portfolios
  • Partnering with recruitment teams to ensure quality candidate delivery
  • Conducting site visits, contractor check-ins and performance reviews
  • Supporting candidate submissions, pre-placement site tours and first-day starts
  • Maintaining regular client contact to ensure service excellence and customer satisfaction
  • Leading safety conversations and promoting compliance across client sites
  • Monitoring account performance, market opportunities and growth initiatives
  • Delivering reporting and maintaining accurate records within internal systems
  • Contributing to revenue growth and achievement of business targets.
  • Supporting candidate sourcing activities to meet client workforce requirements
  • Identifying redeployment opportunities for existing contractors across client accounts
  • Partnering with recruitment teams to build talent pipelines for current and future client needs
  • Conducting candidate screening and engagement activities when required to support service delivery

What We're Looking For
We're interested in hearing from candidates who bring:
  • Previous experience in recruitment, staffing or workforce solutions
  • Strong account management and client relationship skills
  • Demonstrated business development and sales success
  • Proven ability to grow revenue and identify new opportunities
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Strong commercial acumen and negotiation capability
  • Effective organisational and time management skills
  • Confidence working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
  • Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Office skills, including Excel and Word.

Why Join Manpower?

We are committed to creating opportunities for people to grow, develop and succeed, while helping organisations build the workforce they need for the future. Our values of People, Knowledge and Innovation guide everything we do.
