Summary

The Key Account Manager owns the client relationship and the growth plan for a book of Tier 1-3 refreshment accounts. The role is accountable for keeping the revenue AFV has already won and growing it through cross-sell, new sites and client headcount expansion. Success is measured on retention, book growth and the strength of the executive relationships behind both.

• Monitor account health signals including NPS, ticket volume, receivables and contact changes. Escalate at-risk accounts and build a save plan with owners and dates.
• Partner with the Business Development Manager on large or complex expansions and with operations on service delivery, escalating issues rather than absorbing operational work.
• Maintain accurate account, contact, renewal and pipeline data in Salesforce, and forecast the book accurately.
• Maintain working knowledge of micro market, office coffee, pantry and vending offerings and the direction of the category.
• May be assigned other duties and responsibilities as needed.

• Three or more years managing a book of B2B accounts with responsibility for retention and revenue growth. Food service, facilities services, route-based services or a related industry preferred. This is a role that is heavily in the field visiting with clients.

• Experience running executive-level business reviews and presenting performance data to client leadership.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to build a business case and ask for the order.
• Ability to work independently, manage a multi-account book without daily direction, and set own account cadence.
