What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Success Manager position at Max Distributing?
We are not looking for someone to simply manage accounts. We are looking for someone to own growth within accounts.
The Account Manager serves as the quarterback for customer success and account performance after launch. This role is responsible for helping customers grow, identifying opportunities, solving problems quickly, and ensuring execution happens internally across departments.
Success in this role is measured by account growth, execution, follow-through, customer retention, and identifying opportunities before they become problems.
You will work closely with Sales, Commercial Operations, Purchasing, Merchandising, and Leadership to drive results and create an exceptional customer experience.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who enjoys solving problems, creating organization, building relationships, and finding growth opportunities others miss.

• Grow sales and distribution opportunities within assigned accounts
• Identify performance gaps and solve issues before customers notice them
• Maintain excellent customer relationships and response times
