Our client is a $70M+ self-performing, commercial flooring solutions provider specializing in concrete refinishing, waterproofing, maintenance and floor coverings. We are seeking an Strategic Account Executive who will call on building owners, property managers, and commercial and retail tenants.

- Generate new leads through networking, site visits, referrals, and targeted outreach.
- Manage a sales pipeline from initial contact through contract execution.
Client Engagement & Needs Assessment
- Conduct site walks to evaluate existing flooring conditions and identify repair or upgrade needs.
- Work with operations and estimating teams to develop accurate scopes, budgets, and proposals.
- Clearly communicate technical flooring solutions in a way that is understandable to non-construction decision-makers.
- Present proposals and negotiate pricing, schedules, and contract terms.
Account Management
- Serve as the primary point of contact for owner-direct clients.
- Maintain strong post-sale relationships to encourage repeat business and long-term service agreements.
- Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts.
Market & Internal Collaboration
- Provide feedback to management on market trends, pricing, and competitive activity in the owner-direct and repair market.
- Coordinate with project managers and field teams to ensure smooth handoff and customer satisfaction.
- Support marketing efforts by contributing case studies, testimonials, and client feedback.
Qualifications
Required
- Proven success selling directly to owners, property managers, or facility managers.
- Strong consultative sales and relationship-building skills.
- Comfortable performing site visits in active, occupied buildings.
- Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally.
Preferred
- Sales experience in commercial construction, flooring, coatings, roofing, or building services.
- Experience in concrete flooring, industrial coatings, or related trades.
- Ability to read basic plans, scopes, and technical specifications (or willingness to learn).
- Knowledge of repair, restoration, and maintenance-focused construction work.
- Familiarity with CRM systems and pipeline management.
- Existing relationships with local property managers or owner groups.
Key Competencies
- Owner-direct sales mindset (solution-focused, not bid-driven)

- Problem-solving and attention to detail
- Self-motivated and results-oriented
- Ability to balance multiple opportunities at different sales stages
Compensation & Benefits

- Ongoing training and career growth opportunities
Why Join Us
