Account Management & Customer Success - Digital Solutions

The Ecolab Global Intelligence Center (EGIC) is Ecolab Digital’s 24/7 intelligence engine – monitoring 192,000+ connected devices, processing 120B+ data points annually, and delivering $22M+ in verified customer value across water treatment, food safety, and industrial operations. We are hiring Account Management / Customer Success professionals across the business segment – Food & Beverage Hygiene – to drive the commercial impact of Ecolab’s digital solutions. In this role, you will work directly with customers and field sales representatives to grow digital adoption, ensure value realization, and expand the footprint of digital programs within assigned accounts.

This is a customer-facing commercial role – not a traditional analyst position. You will own the post-sale customer relationship: driving onboarding, tracking adoption and usage, building value stories, managing renewals, and identifying expansion opportunities in partnership with field sales. You’ll need the commercial instinct to spot growth opportunities and the analytical rigor to prove value with data.

• Develop and execute recovery plans for at-risk accounts in coordination with product, service, and field teams. Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Engage customer stakeholders relevant to your segment – plant operations, quality, EHS, engineering, procurement, infection prevention, or facility management – to build multi-threaded relationships and deepen digital adoption.

• Collaborate with product, service, implementation, and field sales teams to ensure seamless customer experiences from deployment through expansion.

• Share customer feedback, competitive intelligence, and adoption insights to inform product direction and go-to-market strategy for your segment.
