The Role

Our Account Managers earn commission on enhancement sales and referrals, plus a quarterly performance bonus tied to the KPIs that matter most - client retention, margin, sales production, and labor efficiency. Hit your targets and your total comp climbs significantly above your base.

Additional benefits include:

• Health Insurance

• Retirement Program with company match
