Occupation
Account manager
Account managers own the ongoing relationship with a set of existing clients: understanding what they need, coordinating delivery internally, and keeping the account healthy and renewed. The role is part commercial, part service recovery, because problems land here first. Success depends on being trusted by the client and taken seriously internally.

When you get to the application
Novus Learn stops at preparation. These two Novus tools cover the paperwork, and like this site they run entirely in your browser. Nothing you upload to them leaves your device.
Novus Learn hands you real PDFs: study guides, practice packs, answer keys, career summaries. PDF Studio is where you merge several into one revision booklet, pull out the pages you actually need, or lock a file before you send it.
Career Discovery ends with a profile photo and an application. This is where you clean up a headshot without handing the file to a server.
