National Accounts Manager
Status: Full-Time / Permanent / Exempt
Location: Remote + Travel
Salary: $110,000-$160,000 Per Year + Annual Bonus
About the Role
At SavATree, our national accounts are built on trust — and this role is central to keeping that trust strong. As National Accounts Manager, you own the day-to-day relationship with our largest national clients, including Life Time Fitness, Riverstone Communities, and Prologis. You'll be the person clients call when something needs attention, and the person internal teams rely on to keep priorities clear and commitments met.
The job is part relationship manager, part investigator, part orchestrator. When a client raises a concern, you'll work cross-functionally with local branches to understand what actually happened, why, and how to resolve it — then communicate back to the client with clarity and tact. You'll spot opportunities to grow each account and partner with our Business Development team to pursue them. And you'll make sure the operational backbone — scheduling, reporting, invoicing, compliance — runs cleanly so clients experience SavATree at its best.
This is a remote role reporting to our Director of Commercial. It's an opportunity for someone already at SavATree who knows our client focus, services, and how we work to step into a high-visibility position with real ownership.
