Acquire national and multi-site accounts for outsourced waste and recycling program management. Own full sales cycle: prospecting, waste spend analysis, solution design, RFP response, pricing, negotiation and close. Collaborate with Pricing, Procurement, Operations and Account Management for implementation and early growth. Represent the company at industry events, monitor market dynamics, and meet revenue, pipeline, win-rate and margin targets.
At Lincoln Waste Solutions, powered by Reconomy, our vision is a waste-free world where resources are conserved, and economic growth is achieved through sustainable, circular practices. We provide a full-service management approach for all types of waste and recycling, offering services such as recycling, waste consulting, hauler management, and back-office support.
With a proven track record, we work with hundreds of clients across the globe, including regional and national companies across various industries. Leveraging strong partnerships with over 6,000 haulers, we help our clients achieve greater waste efficiency, increased recycling, improved sustainability data, and cost savings, all while moving toward a more sustainable, waste-free future.
About the role
The Key Account Executive is responsible for driving new revenue growth by acquiring national and multi-site accounts for the company’s managed waste and recycling services. Operating within an asset-light model, this role sells outsourced waste program management – leveraging a national vendor network, consolidated invoicing, cost optimization, landfill diversion solutions and data-driven reporting – rather than company-owned hauling or disposal assets.
The position owns the full sales cycle for large, complex opportunities: prospecting, discovery and waste spend analysis, solution design, RFP response, pricing, negotiation and close. The Key Account Executive works closely with Pricing, Procurement / Vendor Management, Operations and Account Management to structure profitable, serviceable programs and to ensure a smooth transition from signed agreement to implemented account.
