About Us
At Medius, we believe managing finance should be about strategy, not stress. That same mindset shapes not only the solutions we build, but also the culture we create for our people. We remove complexity, embrace innovation, and give our teams the freedom to focus on what truly matters — whether that’s transforming the future of finance with AI or finding balance to go home on time.
Founded in Sweden in 2001, Medius has grown from a local startup into a global leader in cloud-based spend management solutions. Today, thousands of organizations worldwide trust us to simplify accounts payable and spend management processes. Our journey has been driven by continuous innovation, a passion for technology, and above all — the people who make it happen.
We’re more than a software company. We’re a team of problem-solvers, innovators and collaborators working together to reinvent the category of accounts payable. Our solutions use Artificial Intelligence to eliminate manual work, bring clarity, confidence, and control, and empower finance teams of the future.

Job Overview
The primary objectives of our Account Directors are to establish close partnerships with your customers and align Medius solutions with their business strategies, driving adoption and success, and evangelise the value of Medius solutions in our customer base. You will be facilitating continued customer success and ensuring customer retention by building trust and rapport with our key stakeholders – understanding their objectives and any ongoing challenges.
You will be allocated a list of accounts, primarily customers engaged with Account Payable Automation solutions based in the UK region (but may be operating internationally). You will become a trusted advisor with our client stakeholders at all levels. You will work with the Customer Success team to safeguard customer retention of Medius tools and build and develop relationships across the business up to CxO level.
Wherever possible, you will identify and assist in the resolution of related customer challenges and uncover cross-sell and upsell opportunities on the products we do not currently provide to the client or associated with solutions we currently provide them. One of your key objectives will be to multi-thread with senior contacts in Finance and Procurement, and cross-sell additional Medius solutions, such as AP360 (our AI platform), Payments, Procurement, etc.. You will have full support from Medius Sales Specialists and pre-sales where necessary to facilitate any additional engagement in these areas.
When possible, you will engage closely with the local Medius Customer Success executives to deliver Customer Excellence Reviews, health checks, additional training, etc.. Over time you will develop broad expertise to support these initiatives, sharing best practices and helping provide data-driven improvement advice.
We expect you to actively communicate where new services, information or changes are relevant to your customers and you will engage in direct actions such as meetings, Account Governance Meetings, presentations, webinars, in addition to leveraging other corporate functions such as marketing, pre-sales and consulting capabilities. We also expect, as a minimum, that Salesforce administration is prioritised and carried out in line with Medius expectations.
There is no bureaucracy to hold you back – just your own energy, enthusiasm and experience to reach your goals.
Responsibilities And Duties
Actual compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to relevant skills, experience, qualifications, certifications, internal equity, and the geographic location in which the role is performed. Compensation may vary for roles performed in different locations due to differences in the cost of labor.

Benefits may include medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and retirement benefits, subject to eligibility requirements.
