Account Executive

Account Executive, EMEA – Comms & Media

London (office-based)

Who Are We

Hansen (ASX: HSN) is a global provider of software and services to the energy, water and communications industries. With our award-winning software suite, we help more than 600 customers in over 80 countries to create and deliver new products and services, engage with customers, and control and manage critical revenue management and customer support processes.

Traditionally Hansen has been known for our billing and customer care solutions for utilities and energy companies; and for our BSS/OSS solutions for the communications industry. Yet today our solutions are far broader than this – from enabling the strategic trading of energy resources, to gaining real insights from the data tsunami that smart meters enable and the ability to quickly sell products through our Catalog-driven solutions. Put simply, our solutions are essential ingredients in our customers’ commercial business model, providing them the ability to create and deliver these essential services, charge for them, and establish and maintain lasting relationships with their end customers.
