Key Account Manager, Enterprise Gifting
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. is seeking an accomplished Enterprise Account Executive to acquire and onboard new business customers to our self-service gifting platform. This is a hunter role for a seller who enjoys opening doors, building pipelines from the ground up, and closing complex B2B opportunities.
The Account Executive owns the new-business sales cycle from target-account selection and outbound prospecting through discovery, solution development, negotiation, close, and onboarding coordination. The role engages decision-makers across Human Resources, Employee Experience, Procurement, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Customer Experience, Operations, and executive leadership.
The successful candidate will represent the full 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. family of brands, including 1-800-Flowers.com, Harry & David, Personalization Mall, Cheryl's Cookies, The Popcorn Factory, and other portfolio brands. The goal is to create scalable gifting programs supported by flexible purchasing, procurement, and invoicing options.

Customer appreciation, retention, loyalty, and surprise-and-delight initiatives
-
Sales incentives and recognition for channel partners, agents, and prospects

Holiday, seasonal, meeting, event, conference, and promotional gifting
