Account Manager - Remote - Remote Eligible

Strategic Account Manager

We are seeking a highly driven, customer-obsessed Strategic Account Manager to serve as the primary commercial and operational lead for one of our largest warehousing clients. This individual will own the overall customer relationship, drive strategic alignment, lead Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), identify growth opportunities, and ensure service excellence across a multi-site distribution network.

This role operates as the "quarterback" between the customer and our internal operations, engineering, and leadership teams - proactively solving problems, improving performance, and expanding the partnership.

The ideal candidate blends consultative selling, operational acumen, and executive-level relationship management. You should be equally comfortable walking a warehouse floor or presenting a multi-million-dollar growth plan in the boardroom.

Location: Remote (U.S.) with 20% travel to customer and site locations.
