About HIVED 📦

At HIVED, we’re steamrolling forward as one of Europe’s fastest growing startups, and our momentum shows no signs of slowing.

Based in London, we are a climate and logistics start-up building the first sustainable parcel delivery network at scale, powered by a 100% electric fleet. In an ever-growing industry where unreliable service has long been the norm, HIVED has been built from the ground-up to meet the demands of modern consumers and disrupt parcel delivery.

A tech company at heart, our talent and technology is laser-focused on delivering the best possible delivery experience for end-customers and meeting the needs of our retail partners. From our drivers to our data engineers, we are constantly working to improve this customer experience that makes us deliver better.

Already trusted by leading international brands such as John Lewis, Nespresso, Uniqlo, H&M brands and more, we are solidifying our position as the leaders in Europe to tackle this growing market.

Our tight-knit team is made up of ex-Revolut, Bain, HelloFresh, ASOS, Apple and Google employees, and we are backed by some of Europe’s leading investors and VCs in climate-tech, logistics and mobility including Planet A Ventures, Maersk Growth, Pale Blue Dot VC, Eka Ventures, NordicNinja VC and the British government. We’re passionate about driving innovation and redefining the future of delivery.

Role Overview 📝

We are looking for a Senior Account Manager to join our fast-growing Commercial team and take ownership of some of our most strategic shipper partnerships.

• Monitor account performance, delivery KPIs, and customer satisfaction - proactively identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with Tech, Data, and Operations teams to tailor solutions, pilot new features, and ensure seamless delivery execution.
• Lead commercial reviews, renewals, and expansion opportunities with partners, driving account growth and long-term retention.
• Represent the voice of the customer internally, helping shape product development and service innovation.
• Contribute to the development of best practices and processes as we scale the Account Management function.
• Maintain and uphold the accuracy and integrity of Shipper information across Account Management database systems.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience with Enterprise accounts in Account Management, Client Success, or Partnerships - ideally within logistics, e-commerce, shipper, or tech start-ups.
• Proven track record of managing complex Enterprise accounts with multiple stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and commercial acumen - comfortable with data-driven decision making and performance reporting.
• Proactive and self-starter attitude to deep dive and problem solve.
• Exceptional communication, relationship-building, presentation and negotiation skills.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to translate customer needs into actionable business outcomes.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth, and collaborative environment.
• Shipper centric and passionate about creating value for Shippers.
