• Visit properties regularly to inspect landscape conditions, spot deficiencies, and recommend improvements


• Prepare enhancement proposals, estimates, and service recommendations


• Assign and manage subcontractor partners for new and existing accounts, and identify and recruit additional partners as needed


• Communicate with subcontractor partners on an ongoing basis to protect service quality and client satisfaction, and coach and mentor them to support their growth


• Monitor account performance, resolve service issues proactively, and keep accurate account records while juggling multiple clients and projects at once

What you'll bring

• Experience in commercial landscaping, landscape maintenance, or a related green industry


• Commercial account management and/or outside sales experience preferred


• Strong horticultural knowledge and a solid understanding of landscape maintenance practices


• Familiarity with commercial landscape management in Charlotte and the surrounding areas preferred


• A proven ability to sell services, spot opportunities, and grow revenue within existing accounts


• Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills


• Self-starter energy — able to work independently and take initiative without constant direction


• Strong problem-solving, organization, and attention to detail, with the ability to prioritize competing deadlines in a fast-paced, growing environment

Who you are

You bring great energy, a positive attitude, and a genuine desire to learn and grow. You're driven, dependable, approachable, and easy to work with — and you take pride in building relationships and delivering results. You'll be joining a strong, high-energy team, and this role will play a key part in helping manage and support continued growth in Charlotte.
