National Accounts Manager

Status: Full-Time / Permanent / ExemptLocation: Remote + Travel Salary: $80,000-$110,000 Per Year + Annual Bonus
Travel: Up to 25%
About the Role

At SavATree, our national accounts are built on trust - and this role is central to keeping that trust strong. As National Accounts Manager, you own the day-to-day relationship with our largest national clients, including Life Time Fitness, Riverstone Communities, and Prologis. You'll be the person clients call when something needs attention, and the person internal teams rely on to keep priorities clear and commitments met.

The job is part relationship manager, part investigator, part orchestrator. When a client raises a concern, you'll work cross-functionally with local branches to understand what actually happened, why, and how to resolve it - then communicate back to the client with clarity and tact. You'll spot opportunities to grow each account and partner with our Business Development team to pursue them. And you'll make sure the operational backbone - scheduling, reporting, invoicing, compliance - runs cleanly so clients experience SavATree at its best.

This is a remote role reporting to our Director of Commercial. It's an opportunity for someone already at SavATree who knows our client focus, services, and how we work to step into a high-visibility position with real ownership.

What Success Looks Like

• Our national accounts are retained year after year
• Each account maintains or grows its book of business with SavATree
• Client NPS and satisfaction scores stay high
• Client complaints and escalations decrease over time
• Issues that do arise get resolved quickly, fairly, and without issue

• Lead quarterly and biannual business reviews - owning the agenda and preparation, with the Business Developer and Head of Business Development participating
• Identify opportunities for account growth and partner with the Business Developer to pursue them

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Align internal SavATree stakeholders - RVPs, DMs, Branch Managers, commercial arborists, commercial pod, and commercial teams - on client expectations and outcomes
• Coordinate site walks, mapping (Tree Plotter), and proposal development with local teams

Authority & Decision-Making

You'll be empowered to resolve most client issues directly.

The goal is to give you real ownership while making sure you have backup when you need it.

What You Bring
