Account Executive - DC and Northern Virginia Market

At Keany Produce, we’re looking for passionate, dynamic individuals to join our team as Account Executives. We believe diverse perspectives bring valuable insights and drive success, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. If you’re ready for a role where you can build relationships, make an impact, and work in a flexible, supportive workplace- we want to hear from you!

About the Role: As an Account Executive at Keany Produce, you’ll be responsible for driving sales and delivering outstanding service to our customers in a salary plus commission role. Once established, you’ll have the opportunity to transition fully to commission. While a passion for food is a plus, it's not essential. We’re looking for someone who is hard-working, personable, and eager to connect with customers. Whether you’re new to the food industry or already have experience, you’ll find a supportive team ready to help you succeed.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build strong relationships by accurately reading customer orders and ensuring their needs are met with excellent service.
• Visit at least 20 customers and prospects daily, logging all interactions into our CRM system.
• Collaborate with the sales team to develop strategies for expanding customer relationships.
• Foster long-term partnerships with customers to encourage loyalty and success.
• Respond promptly to customer inquiries regarding orders, products, pricing, and delivery.
• Address customer issues with empathy and offer practical solutions.
• Stay informed about industry trends and share valuable insights with the team to stay competitive.

Why This Job is a Great Fit:

• Work-Life Balance: This role is designed to support a healthy work-life balance, so whether you're managing family commitments or other personal priorities, you can bring your best self to the job.
• Collaborative Team: You’ll be part of a team that values diverse perspectives and fosters a supportive, growth-focused environment.
• Relationship-Focused Culture: We prioritize building lasting relationships with both our customers and each other, creating an atmosphere where you can grow and feel supported.
• No Food Industry Experience? No Problem! If you're passionate about building connections and bringing value to clients, this role could be a great fit for you.

What We’re Looking For:

• A team player who enjoys working with others to achieve goals and serve customers.
• Sales experience, especially in the food service or produce industry, is helpful but not required. We’re open to training the right candidate.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage with new people every day.
• Ability to multitask and stay organized while maintaining attention to detail in a fast-paced environment.
• A drive to influence clients and build long-lasting relationships that contribute to success for both you and the company.

Qualification

Bachelor's Degree is preferred, however, candidates with lesser educational qualifications who possess relevant experience in the Food Service Industry will also be considered

Physical Requirements:

· Ability to lift packages weighing up to 50 pounds as required.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive base salary with the opportunity to earn additional commission.
• Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, and vision insurance).
• Paid time off, paid holidays, and a 401k retirement plan with company matching.
• Additional benefits such as life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, and more.
