This role works in partnership with the independent dealer network to expand the OEM’s presence in the large fleet market. Key Responsibilities 1. Strategic Customer Engagement Identify, develop, and maintain executive-level relationships with fleet operators owning 100+ vehicles (National Key Accounts).

Drive incremental national Key Account sales to grow the percentage of sales to key fleets in addition to dealer retail sales. Develop tailored Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and lifecycle proposals in collaboration with internal stakeholders. 3.

Customer Segmentation & Governance Maintain and enforce current customer segmentation model (reviewed annually). Retail Dealer Key Account (20–100 fleet): Dealer + RSM managed. National Key Account (>100 fleet): KAM managed in partnership with dealers. Oversee and monitor allocation of Key Account targets across the dealer network. 5.

Key Deliverables Achieve the annual National Key Account target, with fair and transparent allocation to supporting dealers. Deliver documented account growth strategies for each National Key Account. Strengthen OEM reputation and relationships with national fleet operators. Maintain clear client ownership and eliminate duplication of efforts within the network. Required Qualifications & Experience Relevant tertiary qualification in Sales, Business, or equivalent. Minimum 5–7 years of B2B sales or key account management experience in commercial vehicles, logistics, or a related sector. Proven ability to build and maintain C-suite customer relationships and negotiate large, complex deals.
