This is not a typical account-manager job.

We are looking for a driven, commercially minded leader who wants to own results—not merely manage a list of clients.

As a Client Operations & Growth Manager, you will take responsibility for a defined portfolio of commercial clients and run it like a business within our business. You will protect and grow recurring revenue, build trusted executive-level client relationships, solve operational problems quickly, lead service-provider performance, and uncover new revenue opportunities across each account.

Your mission is clear: deliver an exceptional client experience, retain every account possible, grow the revenue in your book of business, and build the leadership skills required to advance into a Director of Operations role.

This role is ideal for someone who is energized by accountability. Someone who sees a service failure as their problem to solve. Someone who enjoys being in the field, building relationships, improving teams, winning additional business, and being paid for measurable results.

If you want a desk-only customer-service role or a position with narrow responsibilities, this is probably not the right opportunity. If you want real ownership, income upside, operational leadership experience, and a clear path to larger responsibility, we want to meet you.

What you will own

You will be the primary business leader for an assigned portfolio of commercial accounts. Your results will directly influence client retention, revenue growth, service quality, and your earning potential.

Build trusted relationships with client decision-makers and become their go-to resource for facility-service needs.Own the client experience from onboarding through ongoing service delivery, issue resolution, retention, and account expansion.

Conduct regular site visits and quality-control inspections to ensure our services meet or exceed client expectations.Anticipate issues before they become complaints, communicate proactively, and drive problems to resolution.

Lead and hold service partners, Independent Contractors, and Night Managers accountable for quality, responsiveness, staffing, coverage, and compliance.Coordinate successful launches of new accounts, including staffing, schedules, supplies, access, client expectations, inspections, and follow-up.

Identify opportunities to expand services within existing accounts, including floor care, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, pressure washing, landscaping, parking-lot services, and other facility solutions.Own the sales process for additional services within your portfolio: identify the need, create the solution, coordinate pricing, present the value, close the opportunity, and ensure excellent execution.

Maintain accurate CRM records, inspection results, follow-up actions, client history, and revenue opportunities.Operate with the urgency, communication, and judgment expected of a future operational leader.

How you will win

This is a performance-oriented role. We will measure success by the business outcomes you create, including:

Client retention and renewal performance.Client satisfaction and responsiveness.

Portfolio revenue growth.Additional-service and Other Services revenue.

Quality-control results and service stability.Timely resolution of client concerns.

Strong contractor and vendor performance.Successful onboarding and stabilization of new accounts.

Consistent field activity, follow-through, and CRM discipline.

The right person will not wait to be told what needs attention. They will see the issue, take ownership, mobilize the right people, communicate clearly, and make sure the client sees the result.

Field expectations

This is a field-based leadership role. You will regularly visit commercial client facilities throughout East Knoxville and the Tri-Cities.

Most work occurs during normal business hours. However, exceptional client service sometimes requires flexibility for early mornings, evenings, weekends, new-account launches, urgent service needs, and special projects.

Our values

Genuine. Customer Driven. Responsive. Adaptable. Tenacious.

Our mission is to glorify God by creating a Ripple Effect that positively impacts the people and communities we serve.

Apply if this sounds like you

You take pride in being the person clients trust when things matter. You can balance relationships, operations, revenue, and accountability. You want to be paid for results.

You want to develop into a senior operational leader—not stay in the same account-management role indefinitely.

If that describes you, apply today.

Requirements

Who will excel here

You may be an experienced account manager, territory manager, operations manager, business-development professional, facilities leader, property-services professional, or service-industry operator who is ready for a larger platform.

We are looking for someone with:

At least 3 years of success in B2B account management, operations, territory management, facility services, outsourced services, property services, or another relationship-driven service business.

A demonstrated record of retaining clients, resolving high-stakes service issues, and growing revenue within existing accounts.Strong commercial instincts and comfort discussing service performance, pricing, contracts, and growth opportunities with business decision-makers.

The ability to lead without direct authority by setting expectations, creating accountability, and following through with vendors, contractors, and internal teams.Excellent organization, judgment, communication, and attention to detail.

A high level of urgency, professionalism, and personal ownership.Comfort managing multiple priorities while remaining calm and decisive when service issues arise.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office and CRM systems.A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the ability to travel throughout East Knoxville and the Tri-Cities.A high school diploma or equivalent; a bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required.

Experience in commercial cleaning, facility management, route-based services, property services, subcontractor management, or multi-site operations is strongly preferred. However, we care most about your ability to lead clients, solve problems, grow revenue, and own outcomes.
