Our palatants are designed to enhance flavor, nutrition, and the overall feeding experience, contributing to the well-being of pets around the world.

We are looking for a high-performing Senior Account Manager to join our Sales team and help us build deeper customer relationships, unlock new opportunities, and fuel strategic growth.

What You'll Do

As the Senior Account Manager, you'll be the trusted advisor and primary point of contact for key customer accounts. You'll lead strategic selling initiatives, uncover business opportunities, and ensure customer satisfaction while delivering profitable growth for AFB. You'll work cross-functionally with R&D, Operations, and Marketing to ensure we meet — and exceed — customer expectations.

  • Develop and deliver compelling value propositions tailored to each customer's unique challenges and goals.
  • Achieve or exceed sales targets, including revenue growth and gross margin objectives.
  • Leverage Salesforce and data analytics tools to track account performance, identify trends, and present actionable insights.
  • Manage sales pipeline effectively, support accurate forecasting, and create account strategies aligned with regional growth goals.

Collaboration & Internal Alignment

  • Partner with internal teams (R&D, Technical Services, Operations, etc.) to align priorities and resolve challenges quickly.
  • Participate actively in new product development efforts, providing customer insights and market feedback.
  • Collaborate closely with marketing, product development, supply chain, and customer service teams to deliver seamless customer support and drive innovation.

What You Bring

Required

  • Bachelor's Degree in Business, Marketing, or related field
  • Proven success in account management and solution selling
  • Strong analytical skills and financial acumen
  • Ability and willingness to travel up to 50%

Preferred

  • Experience in strategic selling methodologies (e.g., Miller Heiman or similar)
  • Proficiency with Salesforce or CRM systems
  • Familiarity with food manufacturing operations or pet industry dynamics
  • 5+ years of progressive B2B sales experience, preferably in the manufacturing, food, or pet industries

What Sets You Apart

  • Excellent communicator with executive presence and the ability to influence across all levels
  • Relationship builder who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments
  • Strategic thinker with a process-driven mindset and a passion for results
  • Collaborative, team-first approach — you know how to get things done while bringing others along
  • High level of ownership and a desire to make a measurable impact

Why Join AFB?

  • Purpose-Driven Impact: Contribute to products that improve the lives of pets and pet parents around the world

  • Recession-Resistant Industry: Thrive in one of the fastest-growing, most stable industries globally
  • Cutting-Edge Facilities: Access world-class innovation assets — including a state-of-the-art pilot plant, palatability center, and on-site labs — that support collaboration and customer co-development
