Account Manager - Chicago, IL

Account Manager
We are a mid-sized Plantscaping company, and this job is a little bit of a lot of things. We are a company driven by the relationship between creative expression and corporate identity: We strive to tell our clients’ stories while also valuing innovation and progress. This job is looking for a creative person who loves making things happen and loves plants. We have recently acquired another interior Plantscaping company, and this job would help service all our clients.

Responsibilities:
  1. Maintain our exterior and holiday book of business
    1. Includes meeting with clients, refreshing designs for current year, completing design layouts, paperwork to complete jobs, and ordering product.
    2. Also includes tracking expenses so jobs stay within budget.
  2. Account Manage interior accounts. This includes gauging client satisfaction, uncovering client needs, and selling as appropriate.
  3. Build relationships with existing clients.
  4. Build holiday displays and exterior spectacle items as needed. (Also an occasional orchid or succulent bowl.)
  5. Create & hold fun pop-up shops and holiday sales with on-trend display items.
  6. Work with Operations Department to ensure proper installation of jobs.
  7. Maintain company’s photo archives and marketing materials. Update the website as needed.
  8. Assist in creating design presentations to new and existing clients, mostly for exterior and holiday jobs.  Eventually it would be ideal if this position would do that on their own.
  9. Manage Email List and newsletter schedule.

Skills Required:
People skills, team player, willingness to jump in and do anything, computer & Microsoft office literate (there is a lot of excel work), design literate, basic understanding of landscaping principles, high level organizational skills, and willingness to follow a system.

This is a great job for someone with a background in landscaping, floral design, set design, art, retail design, account management or sales. Once the basic functions are finished, this job is what you make it, and can grow as the company grows. We are willing to train the right person in any aspect of the position as needed.

Location:
Fulton and Damen Chicago, IL

Compensation:
Salary range $40 -55K. We offer Health & Dental Insurance, PTO, paid & flex holidays.
