Key Account Manager

North America's largest manufacturer and distributor of interior millwork producing and selling interior finishings. We have been steadily growing our footprint and industry leadership for nearly 100 years. Established in 1926, still owned by the founding family, we continue to have the same focus on product excellence and a superior customer experience. We help people transform houses into homes. You've probably seen our products in the media featured on TV shows and magazines such as HGTV, Style At Home and House & Home, or by one of our Instagram influencers.

The Key Account Manager is primarily responsible for growing wallet share and / or continuing to build customer lifetime value with key strategic accounts.
