Executive Client PartnerRemote • Travel up to 50%
The roleAs an Executive Client Partner, you'll own Koozie Group's largest and most complex accounts - the national buying groups, distributor networks and enterprise distributors that anchor a segment - and be accountable for growing them. You'll build multi-year account strategies, construct executive-level value and ROI cases, and navigate multi-stakeholder buying committees to win Koozie Group a bigger place in each account's company stores, programs, web stores and preferred-supplier lists. You'll work alongside a Client Success Partner, your Segment Leader, and our field and inside sales teams so every branch of the account sells Koozie Group the same way.
What you'll do- Own account growth. Manage a balanced book of named national accounts end to end - strategy, relationship, retention and growth - and deliver revenue, margin and share-of-wallet targets.
- Build multi-year account plans. Map opportunity and whitespace across each account, set clear goals, initiatives and ROI, and review progress with the customer in executive Quarterly Business Reviews.
- Navigate the buying committee. Build relationships with ownership, executive leadership, procurement, merchandising, marketing and supplier-relations teams, and identify and equip the internal champions who move decisions forward.
- Lead with insight. Diagnose each account's business challenges, reframe them with data, and build multi-product and program solutions backed by a clear business case.
- Manage the commercial terms. Lead proposals and navigate procurement; negotiate and renew distributor agreements, program pricing and promotions; and partner with your Segment Leader on program and contract structures.
- Activate the field. Partner with field account managers on top opportunities, branch visits and regional QBRs, and brief sales teams on account priorities each quarter.
- Protect the customer experience. Partner with your Client Success Partner on the post-sale experience and serve as the escalation point across Customer Care, Operations, Pricing and Finance.
- Forecast and report. Maintain an accurate account forecast in Salesforce and report trends, risks and opportunities to sales leadership.
- Expand and represent. Secure customer references and multi-year expansion, and represent Koozie Group at account events, trade shows and conferences.
