Specialized Account Manager

Wheeler Machinery is looking for a Specialized Account Manager (SAM) to grow rental revenue and build long-term relationships with key companies across the Utah market. This is a senior, field-based role for a highly motivated professional with a track record of managing and expanding strategic accounts in the equipment, construction or industrial space.

Full-time

The Specialized Account Manager owns an assigned portfolio of key accounts across Utah and is responsible for fostering rental growth and deepening the relationship with each one.

• Foster rental growth by developing and executing a written account plan for each key account, including growth targets, equipment strategy, project pipeline and executive-level engagement.
• Build multi-level relationships within each account — from jobsite superintendents and equipment managers to procurement and executive decision makers — to make Wheeler Machinery the preferred rental partner.
• Conduct regular jobsite and corporate office visits with key accounts to understand upcoming project pipelines, evaluate equipment performance and application fit, and resolve issues on site.
• Identify fleet gaps, upcoming projects and cross-selling opportunities across each customer’s statewide operations, and convert them into rental revenue.
• Negotiate rental agreements, rate structures and corporate or national account terms in coordination with rental leadership.
• Partner with Rental Sales Reps, store personnel, product support and the service department to coordinate coverage and deliver a consistent customer experience across every branch and territory the account touches.
• Serve as the escalation point for key account issues, driving them to resolution and communicating outcomes back to the customer and to Wheeler leadership.
• Maintain accurate account, opportunity and visit records in CRM, and provide regular forecasting and reporting on the assigned book of business.
• Represent Wheeler Machinery at industry associations, customer events and trade functions to strengthen market presence and generate new key account opportunities.
• Follow all Wheeler Machinery and customer jobsite safety requirements, including the use of required personal protective equipment (PPE), on every site visit.

• Bachelor’s degree required, or an equivalent combination of education and directly related industry experience.
• Minimum 7 years of industry related sales or account management experience, including direct experience managing key, strategic or national accounts.
• Demonstrated success growing revenue within an assigned book of business and negotiating corporate-level or multi-year agreements.
• Knowledge of and willingness to learn Wheeler Machinery product offerings, construction industry practices and other competencies necessary for consulting with customers on their needs.
