If you take pride in building strong client relationships, solving problems before they become problems, and making sure properties always look their best — this role is built for you.
We’re Absolute Landscapes, and we believe great landscapes don’t just happen — they’re maintained through care, communication, and consistency. We’re looking for a proactive, detail-driven Maintenance Account Manager who thrives on accountability, enjoys being in the field, and knows how to turn great service into long-term client partnerships.
This isn’t a sit-at-a-desk role. You’ll be walking properties, meeting clients, coordinating with crews, and making real-time decisions that directly impact quality and client satisfaction.
What You’ll Do (and Love Doing)
- The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:
- Build strong, long-term relationships with clients and become their trusted point of contact
- Manage and grow an existing portfolio of maintenance accounts while identifying new opportunities
- Walk properties regularly to assess quality, identify improvements, and ensure expectations are exceeded
- Collaborate with production teams to ensure services are delivered on time and at a high standard
- Communicate proactively with clients — addressing needs, solving issues, and recommending enhancements
- Upsell additional services and enhancements that improve property performance and appearance
- Coordinate and support seasonal services, including snow and ice management as needed
- Manage contract details, renewals, and service expectations with clarity and professionalism
- Keep internal teams aligned and informed to ensure smooth execution across all properties
No two days are the same — and that’s exactly how you like it
What You’ll Gain
- Hands-on experience managing high-quality commercial and residential landscape portfolios
- Growth in relationship-based sales, account management, and operational coordination
- Mentorship from experienced leaders in maintenance, operations, and client services
- Opportunities to expand your role into senior account management or leadership
- A team environment that values accountability, communication, and doing things the right way
- The satisfaction of seeing properties you manage consistently perform at a high level

- Has experience in landscape account management, sales, or a related field (3+ years preferred)
- Understands landscape maintenance practices and is eager to learn quickly
- Builds strong client relationships and communicates clearly and professionally – whether you’re presenting ideas, walking a property, or sending a follow-up
- Can manage multiple accounts, priorities, and moving parts without dropping the ball
- Is detail-oriented and takes ownership of quality and follow-through
- Is comfortable walking properties, identifying issues, and recommending solutions
