About This Role

This Senior Manager role leads a team of National Account Program Managers overseeing Enviri's largest national customer relationships, ensuring operational reliability and contract compliance across complex waste recycling programs.

A typical day involves morning check-ins with National Account Program Managers to review service metrics and customer escalations, followed by strategic meetings with Operations and Dispatch teams to optimize national program execution. The afternoon might include executive-level calls with key national accounts to address service issues, collaborative sessions with Sustainability and Finance teams on program performance analytics, and dedicated time for team development and cross-functional alignment initiatives.

🎯 Who Enviri Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years managing teams of 10-12 direct reports in national account or program management roles within waste management, recycling, or environmental services
  • Demonstrates proven experience managing executive-level escalations and strategic relationships with Fortune 500 or similarly scaled national customers
