Description

About the Company

Founded in 2003, LeverageTek provides end-to-end, cross-functional staffing solutions throughout North America. We are a trusted partner to leading private and public sector organizations and experts in talent solutions that create optimal business outcomes.

Don’t let our name fool you. Our roots are in technology, but we are also a proven leader in accounting and finance, sales and marketing, human resources, supply chain, and legal talent acquisition. We offer contract and permanent staffing, executive search, talent mapping, management consultancy, and contractor management.

About the Role

Reporting to the Vice President of Sales, the Account Manager role provides the opportunity to represent LeverageTek Staffing Solutions to existing, highly valued customers who have come to love and appreciate what we bring to the table. Approximately 75% of this B2B outside sales role will be focused on maintaining and nurturing existing (live!) customer relationships, while 25% will be focused on spring-boarding off these successes into developing new business. You are an experienced relationship-builder with high EQ, and you possess an ability to ‘farm’ existing business like no other. You have a cast iron work ethic and your steadfast follow up skills and client-service mentality are professional attributes that make you stand out amongst your peers. Personal integrity is at the root of all decisions you make. You have a strong aptitude, and you are very curious by nature. You love tracking upcoming customer needs, understanding their projects, and positioning your company to deliver. You are so aligned and in tune with your customers’ success that they often forget that you are an outside supplier and not a trusted internal partner.
