The Key Account Developer (KAD) is a vital component of the Facilities sales model, working closely with high-performing Key Account Executive (KAE) teams through a collaborative selling approach. This role acts as a co-seller and strategic sales resource, supporting KAEs in managing customer relationships and identifying new category growth opportunities. While Jan / San remains a core focus, the KAD has a strong emphasis on launching and growing Total Coffee Programs.

In addition to driving sales, the KAD maintains strong customer relationships through ongoing support and compliance management, acting as the “quarterback” of the Facilities team and connecting sales and support functions for a seamless customer experience. Success in this role requires strong collaboration, strategic thinking, and a customer-first mindset.
