Job Summary
The Key Account Manager will be responsible for driving strategic growth across NITCO’s most important project and institutional accounts within the tiles, marble, and mosaic categories.

This role will own the complete account lifecycle—from opportunity identification and product specification through commercial closure, delivery coordination, collections, and account expansion.
