Manage budgets, forecasts, and job costs for assigned accounts.
Fully understand the numbers behind each job and drive continuous performance improvement.
Achieve enhancement sales goals and maintain gross margins of 45% or higher.
Sales & Growth
Identify, propose, and sell enhancement opportunities to existing clients.
Forecast book-of-business growth and track new revenue opportunities.
Partner with operations to deliver accurate, timely proposals.
Maintain detailed tracking of enhancement and contract sales activity.
Leadership & Coordination
Collaborate with production teams on scheduling, pricing, and quality control.
Communicate clearly and consistently with crew leaders and field teams.
Support development of site plans, seasonal color rotations, and enhancement projects.
Ensure all administrative tasks and documentation are completed accurately and on time.
Maintain a professional appearance and uphold the company image.
Qualifications
2+ years of experience as an Account Manager or Manager in landscape maintenance or related field.
Preferred: Two- or four-year degree in landscape horticulture, a related discipline, or business.
Knowledge of standard landscape horticultural practices; basic understanding of irrigation and hardscape.
Proven success driving profitable growth and high client satisfaction.
Ability to manage budgets and understand how field performance impacts branch profitability.
Tech-savvy with landscape management software, CRM tools, and Microsoft Office.
Strong organizational and communication skills; bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred.
Must pass background check, MVR review, and drug screening.
Compensation
Base Salary: $80,000–$90,000
Commissions:
2% on new maintenance contracts (annualized revenue, paid over 12 months)
Up to 2% on enhancement sales (minimum 45% gross margin)
Benefits:
