Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a large customer account you grew by selling across more than one service line. What made the customer say yes to the second and third service?

What they are checking: Whether they have actually expanded wallet share, or only defended the business they inherited.

Tell me about a time you nearly lost a major customer. What did you learn about the warning signs you missed?

What they are checking: Honest reflection on retention failures and whether they now watch for early signals of churn.

How do you tell an account manager who is a great relationship person but weak on commercial discipline that they need to change?

What they are checking: Whether they can coach hard truths without losing a well-liked person, and hold a performance standard.

What would you do

You'd lead Enterprise Account Managers organized by industry vertical. How would you decide which verticals get your most experienced people?

What they are checking: Whether they allocate talent by revenue risk and growth potential rather than by seniority or habit.

We run truckload, dedicated, LTL, dray, intermodal, managed transportation, and temp-controlled warehousing through Roadtex. How would you get an account manager comfortable selling services they've never touched?

What they are checking: Whether they can build product fluency in a team so cross-selling sounds credible to a shipper.

A top-five account's margin has slid three points over two quarters while volume held steady. How do you figure out what happened and what do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they can diagnose margin erosion through mix, rate, and service cost before reaching for a price increase.

A shipper wants a big rate cut at renewal and threatens to bid the business out. How do you approach that negotiation?

What they are checking: Whether they negotiate on total value and service risk instead of trading margin away to keep volume.

How would you work with operations when a customer's service failures are hurting the account but the fix sits outside your team?

What they are checking: Whether they can drive change across functions they don't control while staying honest with the customer.

About the work

Walk me through how you run an executive business review with a top customer. What's on the agenda and what do you want them to walk out agreeing to?

What they are checking: Whether their reviews drive commitments and next steps, or are just a slide deck of past performance.

What should a good enterprise account plan contain, and how would you know if your team's plans were real or just filled in for compliance?

What they are checking: Whether they treat account plans as working tools tied to actions and numbers rather than paperwork.

What metrics would you put on a dashboard for your team on day one, and which one would you watch most closely?

What they are checking: Whether they balance growth, retention, and margin, and know which number leads the others.

ITS Logistics is a leading Third-Party Logistics provider and an Echo Global Logistics company. We run a fully integrated platform - asset-based truckload, Dedicated & Fulfillment, LTL, Dray, Intermodal, and Managed Transportation - plus Roadtex, our temperature-controlled warehouse and distribution network. That combination gives our customers something most 3PLs can't offer: a single partner who can handle ambient fulfillment, confectionery-grade temp-controlled distribution, and everything in between. We're a performance-driven organization. We invest in our people, give them real commercial infrastructure to work with, and get out of their way. If you're looking for a place where your output actually matters, this is it. Want to learn more about ITS Logistics? Check out our website! www.its4logistics.com About the Position This is a commercial leadership role - not a traditional account management title. The SVP of Enterprise Account Management runs a team of vertically aligned Enterprise Account Managers who own growth, retention, and margin performance across ITS Logistics' largest and most complex customers. Your EAMs are organized by industry vertical. They're not order-takers. They're commercial owners who run account plans, lead executive business reviews, expand wallet share across the ITS + Echo + Roadtex platform, and protect the margin of a significant revenue portfolio. Your job is to build that team, set the standard, and hold it. The right person for this role has real enterprise logistics depth, can engage peer-to-peer with VP and C-suite contacts on our largest accounts, and has done this before - built a team, installed a commercial operating model, and driven results against a revenue target. Key Responsibilities • Lead and develop a team of vertically aligned Enterprise Account Managers - responsible for growth, retention, and profitability across ITS's largest accounts. • Set and hold the commercial standard: account planning quality, QBR cadence, cross-sell execution, escalation management, and pipeline accountability. • Drive revenue growth through account expansion and cross-platform selling across ITS OTR, D&F, Dray, LTL, Roadtex temperature-controlled distribution, Echo Intermodal, Echo Mexico, and Managed Transportation. • Own the portfolio P&L - actively manage margin trends, load mix, mode shift, and account-level profitability across the full book. • Build and maintain executive-level relationships with the most strategic and highest-risk accounts in the ITS + Echo portfolio. • Partner with Enterprise Sales leadership on handoffs from new logo close into account management, and on large expansion opportunities that need hunter involvement. • Build vertical-specific account management frameworks — tailored to how customers in each industry buy, escalate, and make supply chain decisions. • Lead executive business reviews with key accounts - structured to expand scope, surface opportunity, and demonstrate the integrated platform value. • Monitor the full portfolio for churn risk, margin erosion, and service exposure before they become problems. • Develop EAM playbooks, performance standards, and commercial accountability structures that scale as the team grows. • Work closely with operations, pricing, and carrier teams to make sure what we've committed to our customers is actually being delivered. • Give executive leadership clear portfolio visibility - retention forecasts, growth pipeline, account risks, and strategic priorities. • Build a culture where EAMs think like owners and treat customer relationships as the assets they are. • Develop people. Identify the next leaders in the organization and put in the time to build them A bout the Requirements • 10+ years in enterprise account management, commercial logistics leadership, or strategic customer success - with a track record of building teams and growing revenue. • Real logistics and transportation depth - OTR, D&F, LTL, Dray, Intermodal, or Managed Transportation. You understand how enterprise shippers buy and how multi-modal solutions get structured. • Experience leading vertical-aligned or segment-specific account management teams. • You've managed a large revenue portfolio - $100M+ annually - with direct accountability for margin performance and retention. • Executive presence. You can walk into a room with a VP or C-level supply chain executive and hold the conversation. • Strong commercial instincts - you see expansion opportunities in existing accounts and know how to mobilize a team to go get them. • You've built commercial accountability structures before - account planning processes, QBR standards, pipeline disciplines - and you know how to enforce them without losing people. • Experience in complex, matrixed environments across multiple business units or service lines. • Financially fluent - you think in P&L, margin, and profitability, not just revenue. • CRM-driven and data-oriented in how you manage a portfolio. • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, or a related field Work environment/physical demands summary: This job operates in an office environment and uses a computer, telephone and other office equipment as needed to perform duties.
