Commercial Account Manager Commercial Landscape Maintenance & Snow Services Dohner Landscaping Ltd. $90,000 - $125,000+ Total Compensation
Some people are great at managing accounts. Others are great at building relationships. The rare few can do both -- while creating trust, solving problems, growing revenue, and making clients genuinely feel taken care of.
That's who we're looking for.
The Role
At Dohner Landscaping, we're looking for a Commercial Account Manager to lead and grow our commercial maintenance division. This role is part relationship manager, part problem solver, part business developer, and part operational quarterback.
You'll take ownership of a portfolio of roughly 75 commercial landscape and snow clients -- an active, year-round book of business that keeps moving through every season. This is not a "sit back and maintain accounts" role. We're looking for someone who takes pride in ownership, sees opportunities others miss, and genuinely enjoys building long-term partnerships with clients.
Day to day, you'll be out on client sites regularly -- checking in, meeting with decision-makers, identifying enhancement opportunities, and making sure the work in the field matches the promises we made when we won the business. You'll coordinate closely with multiple field crews, work alongside our estimating team, and use LMN to manage your accounts and track what's happening across your portfolio.
The rhythm of this role is consistent and demanding in the best way -- there's no slow season. Summer keeps you busy with maintenance, and winter keeps you busy with snow. You'll need to stay organized, communicate proactively, and stay ahead of issues before clients have to raise them.
What Success Looks Like
Maintaining strong relationships across a $2M+ commercial portfolioAchieving a 90%+ client renewal rateIdentifying and closing enhancement and upsell opportunitiesGrowing the client base through new account salesMaintaining strong gross profit marginsCreating an experience clients rave about -- and tell others aboutCompensation
Total Compensation: $90,000 - $125,000+
Base Salary: $55,000 - $70,000 (depending on experience)Performance Incentives: $35,000 - $55,000+ (uncapped)Additional perks:
Company vehicle or allowanceCell phone allowancePaid vacationHealth benefitsProfessional development opportunitiesThis Role Is a Great Fit If You:
Naturally build trust with clients and colleaguesAre highly organized and stay on top of a busy, moving portfolioCommunicate proactively -- before problems become complaintsTake initiative instead of waiting to be told what to doEnjoy balancing relationship-building with real business resultsStay calm and clear-headed when things get busyWant a role where your effort and performance directly shape your incomeExperience in landscaping, property management, construction services, facility services, or commercial account management is a strong asset.
