If you love meeting people, solving problems, and turning great ideas into real-world results, you’re going to feel right at home here. We’re Absolute Landscapes — a design/build company that believes outdoor spaces should inspire people. And we’re looking for a driven, relationship-focused Account Executive who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, think creatively, and help clients bring their dream outdoor living spaces to life.

This isn’t a “sit-behind-the-desk-and-crank-out-emails” kind of job. You’ll be out meeting homeowners, walking properties, brainstorming with designers, and leading clients through exciting hardscape and outdoor living projects. If you’re motivated, growth-oriented, and ready for a role with real impact, let’s talk.

• Build genuine relationships with clients and guide them through transforming their outdoor spaces
• Spot new business opportunities and go after them — networking, referrals, community connections, you name it
• Partner with our design and estimating teams to bring bold ideas and beautiful concepts to life
• Present custom proposals and help clients make confident decisions
• Manage your pipeline from first conversation to project kickoff
• Stay involved throughout each project to ensure clients feel supported and excited
• Collaborate with operations and production to keep projects on track and clients informed
• Represent our brand at industry events, trade shows, and community gatherings
• Keep an eye on market trends and competitor activity so you’re always one step ahead
• This role combines sales, design collaboration, strategy, and plenty of face-to-face interaction. No two days look the same — and that’s a good thing.

• Mentorship from experienced leaders in sales, project management, and design/build who enjoy teaching and helping you grow
• Continued development in outdoor living design concepts, estimating, and relationship-based selling
• Opportunities for advancement into senior sales or leadership roles
• Exposure to the full design/build process — from concept through construction
• A team that celebrates creativity, initiative, and new ideas
• Opportunities to attend trade shows, industry trainings, certifications, and events
• The rewarding experience of helping clients bring their outdoor visions to life

You’ll thrive in this role if you bring experience, initiative, and a genuine drive to grow — along with the skills needed to succeed in a fast-moving, relationship-focused design/build environment.

You’re someone who:

• Has a solid background in outside sales, customer service, or project-driven work (3+ years preferred), especially in landscaping, hardscaping, construction, or a related field
• Knows hardscape products, installation processes, and outdoor living trends — or is excited to dive in and learn quickly
• Consistently hits sales goals and knows how to manage a pipeline from first “hello” to signed contract
• Loves connecting with people and building long-lasting client relationships
• Communicates clearly and confidently — whether you’re presenting ideas, walking a property, or sending a follow-up
• Stays organized, follows through, and handles multiple moving parts without breaking a sweat
• Brings a relationship-based selling style and enjoys motivating clients with creative solutions
• Thinks proactively, solves problems on the fly, and thrives in a flexible, fast-evolving environment
• Works well both independently and as part of a tight-knit team that has each other’s backs
• Can review plans, proposals, or design drawings — or is ready to learn with our support
• Is proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel and Word)
• Has experience with LMN or similar CRM/estimating tools (preferred)
• Holds a bachelor’s degree in business or a related field (preferred)
• Has a valid driver’s license, a good driving record, and a commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences

Because we’re not your average landscape company.

• We’re creative problem-solvers, craftsmen, and relationship-builders who care deeply about our clients — and each other
• A culture built on collaboration, respect, and the drive to do great work
• Freedom to bring new ideas to the table and actually see them implemented
• Leadership that listens and invests in your growth
• Projects you’ll be proud to show your friends and family
• A fun, energetic team with the personality to match our stunning outdoor living builds

• Base pay + commission
• Company vehicle
• Paid time off
• Medical, dental & vision insurance (company contribution)
• Health Savings Account
• 401(k) plan + company matching
