We have a vision: Building the largest marketplace in your city, to give access to anything in minutes. And this is where your ride starts.
YOUR MISSION
As our Account Manager – Top Accounts, you’ll own Glovo’s largest and most strategic partner relationships in the market. Your mission is to turn these high-visibility accounts into long-term growth engines – building the trust, commercial discipline and cross-functional coordination needed to grow GMV and partner satisfaction in a healthy, sustainable way, while protecting Glovo’s margins.
THE JOURNEY
- Own the end-to-end commercial relationship with a portfolio of Glovo’s top strategic partners, negotiating commission, pricing and promotional terms directly with partner-side managers and, in many cases, C-level stakeholders.
- Build and execute Joint Business Plans (JBPs) with each partner, driving measurable growth in GMV, order volume and partner ad spend while protecting Glovo’s take rate.
- Run partner-facing Quarterly/Monthly Business Reviews and internal MBRs, using data (CVR, GMV, cancellations, ad ROI) to diagnose performance issues and recommend action.
- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Growth, Marketing, Finance and Ads teams to resolve partner issues quickly and deliver on commercial commitments.
- Defend Glovo’s commercial position in high-stakes negotiations (commission disputes, retention conversations, competitor threats), knowing when to hold the line and when to structure a creative win-win.
- Continuously monitor the competitive and market landscape to anticipate partner needs and identify new growth or monetisation levers (menu optimisation, ads, promos, new categories).
- Act as a trusted business consultant to your partners – building the kind of relationship where partners follow Glovo’s recommendation even when a competitor is offering a cheaper deal.
Qualifications
- 3+ years’ experience in account management, commercial/sales or consulting roles, ideally managing complex accounts or stakeholders.
- Strong commercial negotiation skills with P&L accountability – comfortable defending pricing, commissions and walk-away points with data.
- Advanced Excel/Sheets skills and an analytical mindset – able to build forecasting models and partner P&L analyses, not just read a dashboard).
- Confidence managing senior, often C-level, external stakeholders and presenting business reviews internally
- Experience with BI tools (Looker, SQL) or working in a marketplace/e-commerce environment.
- Fluent English plus the local market language; a background in FMCG, delivery platforms, e-commerce or strategy consulting is a plus but not required – we care more about commercial judgement, ownership and coachability than pedigree.
