What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Manager position at Manifest?
Description : We are Manifest.eco, a high-growth, sustainable third-party logistics start-up, shaking up the fulfillment industry by offering eco-friendly logistic solutions for eCommerce brands and pioneering Third Wave Fulfillment.
At Manifest, we believe that our Product is order fulfillment and the white-glove account management that supports it. We focus most on what’s fundamentally important to our growing brands.
Account Managers are the face of the Manifest organization to our merchants and play a critical role in every part of the merchant journey. From when inventory is first delivered to our docks to the thousandth shipment fulfilled and counting, Manifest Account Managers are the linchpin in merchant relationships to ensure high satisfaction and maintain long-term business partnerships.
Manifest Account Managers are people-centric and possess an innate ability to connect on both a personal and professional level with merchants. The ideal candidate is empathetic, intuitive, and a born problem solver, even when all of the answers are not immediately clear.
Manifest Account Managers have an intimate familiarity with physical operations, including the technological systems that drive the operations and the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the different workflows and processes within the warehouse. This subject matter expertise ultimately serves our merchants best : by understanding how our product works, we can best identify the most effective solution for each of our merchant’s unique needs.
Think of the Account Manager role at Manifest as that of air traffic controller : all merchant inquiries from your book of business are routed through you. When appropriate, you direct traffic and delegate work to ensure the most effective resolution for your merchant. Maintaining successful relationships with merchants is rooted not only in a commitment to fielding customers’ requests effectively and efficiently (reactive), but also in anticipating their needs and providing solutions to the right people at the right time (proactive).
