Strategic Account Manager
Drive Growth. Build Partnerships. Deliver Impact.
Are you a strategic sales professional who thrives on building high-value relationships and solving complex client challenges? We’re looking for a Strategic Account Manager (SAM) to lead the growth and development of key client partnerships across the industrial and energy sectors.
In this role, you will serve as the primary relationship owner for major strategic accounts, partnering with clients to solve critical health, safety, and environmental (HSE) challenges. You’ll identify opportunities, develop integrated service solutions, and drive expansion across national and multinational accounts.
If you’re passionate about growing strategic partnerships, closing high-value deals, and delivering measurable value to clients, this role offers the opportunity to make a real impact.
What You’ll Do
Own and grow relationships with strategic enterprise-level accounts
Identify client challenges and deliver innovative HSE solutions that improve safety, compliance, and operational performance
Drive revenue growth by expanding existing accounts and developing new opportunities.
Collaborate across teams to deliver integrated service solutions and bundled offerings
Maintain a strong sales pipeline and accurately forecast opportunities
Lead and support complex, multi-site contract negotiations
Stay ahead of industry trends, regulations, and market dynamics to better serve clients.
Act as a trusted advisor to both clients and internal teams.
What You Bring
3–5 years of outside sales experience, ideally in industrial services, energy, or safety-related sectors.
1–2 years of downstream industry experience, including work with refineries or chemical plants.
Strong understanding of the oil & gas downstream environment
Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets and expanding strategic accounts
Exceptional relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills
A strategic mindset and problem-solving approach to uncovering growth opportunities.
Why This Role Stands Out
Work with major industrial clients and high-impact projects
Build long-term strategic partnerships instead of transactional sales
Be part of a collaborative, high-performing team focused on innovation and safety
Opportunity to grow your career while managing national and multinational accounts
Physical Requirements
Ability to stand, walk, and occasionally kneel or crouch while performing job duties.
Occasionally lift or move up to 50 pounds
Vision abilities include close, distance, and color vision with focus adjustment
