LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT MANAGER
Location: Dayton, Maryland
Job Type: Full Time, Exempt
Pay Range: $60,000 – $70,000/year + Commissions
Schedule: Monday – Friday (seasonal flexibility required)
Build Relationships. Drive Results. Elevate Outdoor Spaces
If you take pride in building strong client relationships, solving problems before they become problems, and making sure properties always look their best — this role is built for you.
We’re Absolute Landscapes, and we believe great landscapes don’t just happen — they’re maintained through care, communication, and consistency. We’re looking for a proactive, detail-driven Maintenance Account Manager who thrives on accountability, enjoys being in the field, and knows how to turn great service into long-term client partnerships.
This isn’t a sit-at-a-desk role. You’ll be walking properties, meeting clients, coordinating with crews, and making real-time decisions that directly impact quality and client satisfaction.
What You’ll Do (and Love Doing)
- The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:
- Build strong, long-term relationships with clients and become their trusted point of contact
- Manage and grow an existing portfolio of maintenance accounts while identifying new opportunities
- Walk properties regularly to assess quality, identify improvements, and ensure expectations are exceeded
- Collaborate with production teams to ensure services are delivered on time and at a high standard
- Communicate proactively with clients — addressing needs, solving issues, and recommending enhancements
- Upsell additional services and enhancements that improve property performance and appearance
- Coordinate and support seasonal services, including snow and ice management as needed
- Manage contract details, renewals, and service expectations with clarity and professionalism
- Keep internal teams aligned and informed to ensure smooth execution across all properties
No two days are the same — and that’s exactly how you like it
What You’ll Gain
- Hands-on experience managing high-quality commercial and residential landscape portfolios
- Growth in relationship-based sales, account management, and operational coordination
- Mentorship from experienced leaders in maintenance, operations, and client services
- Opportunities to expand your role into senior account management or leadership
- A team environment that values accountability, communication, and doing things the right way
- The satisfaction of seeing properties you manage consistently perform at a high level

You’re Someone Who:
- Has experience in landscape account management, sales, or a related field (3+ years preferred)
- Understands landscape maintenance practices and is eager to learn quickly
- Builds strong client relationships and communicates clearly and professionally – whether you’re presenting ideas, walking a property, or sending a follow-up
- Can manage multiple accounts, priorities, and moving parts without dropping the ball
- Is detail-oriented and takes ownership of quality and follow-through
