• Use customer-facing materials, innovation concepts, seasonal offerings, and product tools to lead structured growth conversations
• Develop and execute account growth plans that identify upsell, cross-sell, and wallet-share opportunities
• Present new products and innovation ideas in the context of each customer's business, positioning Royal Cup and Farmer Brothers as a beverage and menu partner

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

• Consistently meeting SKU penetration and gross profit targets across your book of business
• Retaining and growing the accounts you manage year over year

• A valid driver's license and personal auto insurance as required by state law

NICE TO HAVE:

• Prior account management experience in the food & beverage industry
