We’re Alignr — a modern recruitment partner helping ambitious businesses hire smarter and scale faster.

This time, we’re partnering with a leading Australian agribusiness entering a new chapter of growth. They’re looking for an Account Manager (Customer Success focus) to own and grow key domestic manufacturing customers across Australia.

This role is all about customer success + Retention — building trusted relationships, tightening forecasting and S&OP with operations, and finding smart ways to grow within existing accounts and new channels (food service, aged care, manufacturing).

Are you looking for…

• A role where you can own a portfolio and be the go-to problem solver for customers?
• A balance of customer success + commercial?
• Variety across supply, logistics, pricing, and tenders — with real impact on delivery?
• A leadership-adjacent role (working closely with the GM Sales and leadership team)?
• A stable, values-led agribusiness that backs its people?

What’s in it for you?

• $85k base + super
• Adelaide CBD Location - Office-first culture (flexibility around school pick-ups etc)
• Ownership of a significant domestic customer portfolio (national remit)
• A role designed for relationship-builders who love making things work end-to-end
• Permanent opportunity
• Potential development opportunities as the business grows

Your next company & team
This business supplies oat and cereal ingredients into Australia’s food manufacturing ecosystem and is proud, honest, proactive, and accountable. They value people who do what they say, communicate early, and back their word.

You’ll sit within the Sales & Marketing division, partnering tightly with operations, supply, logistics, and production to keep customers humming. You’ll report to the GM Sales and act as the first escalation point for domestic customers, with visibility across pricing, tenders, and delivery performance.

What You’ll Do

• Own and grow a domestic customer portfolio: retention first, smart expansion second
• Engage proactively with key customers; manage escalations and keep stakeholders looped in
• Coordinate pricing at review periods within agreed parameters; support tender submissions
• Keep systems sharp: Pronto/ERP, CRM, price lists, production plans; ensure EOM reporting is on time
• Spot opportunities in adjacent channels (e.g., food service, aged care) and new applications for oats
• Lift the customer experience: documentation, quality follow-ups, and timely close-out of issues

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

• Are a steady operator who loves building trust with customers and solving problems
• Enjoy cross-functional work — production plans, logistics, pricing, and collaborating with the wider team
• Like structure and data
• Communicate early, manage expectations, and follow through

This Role Isn’t For You If…

• You want a pure new-business hunting role with big cold-call targets
• You prefer to work at arm’s length from operations and delivery
• You’re not comfortable being on-site 5 days a week
• You prefer to sit in the background and not provide a strong impact

Must-Haves

• Strong experience in customer service & administrative management or account management
• Demonstrated leadership in prior roles
• Proficient with Excel and familiar with ERP/CRM environments (Pronto experience a plus)
• Strong organiser with clear written and verbal communication
• Excellent verbal & written communications
