Future Opportunity | 6-MONTH CONTRACT WITH POSSIBILITY TO EXTEND | Full-Time Contract | $80,000-$90,000/year
What Encore's All About
At Encore, we possess the expertise in field sales to ensure our clients are successful in their most critical market channels. Going deep with few…being nimble and responsive for us is more than a turn of phrase, it is a way of life…and it comes down to the following Vision and Mission that compel us to outperform every day.

Our Vision
The first choice for tier one organizations seeking to optimize their field sales investment.

Our Mission
Provide uncompromising quality of service and unparalleled calibre of thinking…developing strategies and delivering solutions that enable our clients to win.

The Opportunity
We're looking for a Client Manager to join Encore on a 6-month contract with possibility of extension. In this role, you'll be the day-to-day connection point between our national CPG clients, our field team, and our internal support functions - keeping programs running smoothly, on schedule, and reporting accurately. This is a fast-paced, detail-driven role for someone who's as comfortable troubleshooting a data discrepancy as they are presenting an executive summary to a client.

Position Summary
Your role is to be the day-to-day client and program lead for one or more national CPG accounts. You'll build and maintain strong client partnerships by ensuring programs are delivering on expectations — in field, on schedule, and with accurate reporting. You will manage the relationship between clients, Encore's internal teams (technology, HR, recruitment, and payroll), and the field leadership team (Field Managers, Team Leads, and reps), making sure priorities, escalations, and process changes move smoothly across all three groups. You will also own scheduling and coverage, reporting and data analysis, systems and training support, and quality management for your program(s).

The Perfect Person For the Role
You thrive on exceeding your client's expectations. You're organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable being the point person for multiple stakeholders at once — clients, field teams, and internal departments — without dropping the ball on any of them. You're naturally curious about data: when a report doesn't add up, you dig until you find out why.



You're a clear communicator who can translate client priorities into field-level action, and field realities into a polished update for a client or internal leader. You hold yourself accountable for quality, whether that's a client deliverable, a payroll correction, or a coaching conversation with a Team Lead. You're comfortable working across systems and tools, and you don't get flustered when three things need fixing at once.

Who you'll Work With

Clients: National CPG brand partners.

Field Operations: Field Managers, Team Leads, and reps.

Internal Leadership: Directors and Partners requiring progress updates and support.

Technology Team: Tickets, survey builds and changes, and troubleshooting.
