Account Director - Pest Control Services

£65,000 - £75,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus

Build a business. Shape a division. Make a genuine impact.

We are partnering with a highly successful national facilities and specialist services provider to recruit an Account Director for its Pest Control division. This is not a role where you inherit a fully‑developed operation and maintain the status quo. Instead it is a rare opportunity for an ambitious leader to take ownership of a service line with strong foundations, significant untapped potential and the backing of a business committed to growth.

The organisation has built an outstanding reputation across specialist facilities services, with a culture that genuinely puts people first. Leaders are trusted to lead, ideas are welcomed, and individuals are given the freedom and support to make things happen. It is an environment that combines stability with the agility and energy of a growing business.

About the Role

You will take responsibility for a growing Pest Control division that already has an established client base, experienced operatives and a sales function in place. The division is at the beginning of an exciting growth journey. Systems are being modernised, processes are evolving and senior leadership is ready to invest in the right person to unlock the full potential of the business.

You will work closely with customers, operational teams and senior stakeholders to improve service delivery, strengthen commercial performance and build a platform for future expansion. This is a role for someone who can see opportunity where others see challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the operational and commercial performance of the Pest Control division.
• Build trusted, long‑term relationships with key customers.
• Ensure exceptional service delivery and customer satisfaction.
• Drive contract performance through effective KPI management and governance.
• Identify opportunities for organic growth and service expansion.
• Introduce and improve systems, processes and reporting structures.
• Work alongside the sales team to support business development initiatives.
• Develop the existing team and help build future capability as the division grows.
• Create visibility, accountability and structure within a growing service line.

About You

Previous pest control experience would be highly advantageous, but it is not essential.

We are more interested in finding someone who can demonstrate:

• Strong account, contract or operational leadership experience.
• Excellent customer relationship management skills.
• Commercial awareness and a growth mindset.
• Experience driving operational improvements and implementing new processes.
• A track record of leading teams and developing people.
• Confidence working in an environment where not everything is already mapped out.
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on leadership.

Candidates from facilities management, environmental services, specialist services, compliance‑led sectors, outsourced service providers or other contract‑based industries are all encouraged to apply.

The Person

• Gets excited by the opportunity to build something.
• Enjoys creating structure and improving ways of working.
• Puts customers at the heart of decision‑making.
• Brings energy, resilience and accountability.
• Is commercially astute without losing sight of the human element.
• Leads with compassion, authenticity and integrity.
• Wants to leave a lasting mark on a growing business.

Why Apply?

Opportunities like this don’t come around often. You will join a business with an exceptionally healthy culture, a leadership team that genuinely values its people and a division with enormous scope for growth. Rather than inheriting a finished product, you’ll have the chance to shape the future of the Pest Control business, influence strategy, modernise operations and build a platform that can become a major part of the wider organisation.

For the right person, this role offers the autonomy, visibility and support to create something special.

Package

• £65,000 - £75,000 Basic Salary
• Car Allowance
• Performance‑Related Bonus
• High levels of autonomy and influence
• Outstanding company culture
• Significant career development opportunities
• The opportunity to build and grow a division with genuine long‑term potential

If you’re looking for more than just another Account Director role and want the chance to build, influence and grow something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
