Account Executive

About the role

The Opportunity Externally, this position is called Account Executive. Internally, it’s referred to as SOW, short for Share of Wallet—because the focus is on expanding existing customer relationships rather than pursuing a long list of new accounts. You will partner with current Encore customers to expand services, secure renewals, add new locations, and become their go-to resource for all things fire protection.

Responsibilities

• Manage a defined book of existing customers with a focus on expansion, retention, and referrals.
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities across systems, locations, and services, for example inspections, service, monitoring, and projects.
• Own the renewal process, tracking contract terms and dates, and engaging customers early to keep agreements current.
• Source and track public and private bid opportunities tied to your accounts, so we stay ahead of upcoming work.
• Act as a trusted advisor and primary point of contact for your customers, helping them navigate questions and decisions related to fire protection.
• Collaborate closely with service, installation, and operations teams to ensure a smooth, consistent customer experience from proposal through delivery.
• Build, review, and coordinate proposals and supporting documents in partnership with internal teams.
• Keep your activities, pipelines, renewals, and follow-ups organized and up to date in HubSpot, our CRM.

Requirements

• Three to five years of professional experience, ideally in sales, account management, customer success, or other service-based roles.
• Excellent communication skills, including clear verbal and written communication with both internal teams and customers.
• Comfort working with tools such as Excel and PowerPoint, or Google Sheets and Slides, to track activity and support proposals.
• Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple accounts, renewals, and follow-ups at the same time.
• A self-starter mindset with a team-first attitude, high level of ownership, and willingness to learn and adapt as the business evolves.

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field.

Skills

• Experience using CRM software, and experience with HubSpot is considered a strong plus.
• Experience working in a private equity-backed environment where KPIs, growth targets, and value creation plans are a regular part of the conversation.
• Experience in fire protection, life safety, building services, facilities management, or another recurring service-based industry.
• Exposure to sales tools such as Dealhub, Convex Atlas, or ZoomInfo to support account planning and opportunity identification.
