At Ernest, our people are the heart of our success and that includes our clients. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Director of Client Relations to lead from the front.

We’re looking for a talented and driven sales leader who can inspire a team of Client Relationship Managers (CRMs), drive growth through new business development and account expansion, and create unforgettable client experiences along the way. You know how to lead in every setting, from boardrooms to BBQs, ballgames to cold call walk-ins, and you make clients feel like partners and teams feel unstoppable. If that’s your style, you’ll fit right in at Ernest.

- Represent Ernest at appreciation events, sports outings, and client meetings
- Partner with supplier reps to drive value and strengthen relationships
Drive New Business and Grow Existing Accounts
- Guide and support your Client Relationship Managers as they hunt for new business and grow key accounts
- Equip your team to uncover client needs, deliver customized solutions, and build long-term loyalty
- Coach CRMs to deepen account penetration and maximize GTM growth across their portfolios
- Be a strategic partner in removing roadblocks, navigating client challenges, and ensuring successful outcomes
Lead with Operational Excellence
