Key Account Manager Description

Our client in agricultural equipment manufacturing is looking for a Key Account Manager to add to their team across TN, KY, and North Alabama. You will own relationships with high-volume retail locations, making ~50 store stops monthly to check merchandising, train new associates, reconcile inventory counts, and solve operational issues on the spot. You’ll be the first call for store leaders in receiving, lawn & garden, and power equipment, coordinating deliveries and product setups during peak seasons. The ideal candidate thrives in the field, communicates clearly face-to-face, and enjoys hands-on problem-solving in a retail environment. To succeed, you must self-manage a rolling visit plan, capture crisp visit recaps, and drive market-level improvements with store and internal partners. This role offers high autonomy in a family-owned, no-frills culture with uncapped commission and a long-standing brand sold through national and regional retailers, with ongoing expansion into larger big-box channels.
