About Lovingly
Lovingly is an AI-driven emotional commerce platform serving around 1,000 independent florists across the U.S. and Canada. We provide platformed websites, point-of-sale, and digital marketing services that help local florists win in their local markets while building a consumer brand that customers return to.
We operate at the intersection of local commerce, technology, and emotionally meaningful moments. Our partners are florists — and the work we do for them shows up at weddings, funerals, birthdays, and every moment in between.
We're a B2B technology platform. We build systems, not one-off campaigns, and we use AI as a core part of how we operate, not as a buzzword.
Role Summary
We're hiring Account Managers across three levels - Junior (Level 1), Senior (Level 2), and Key Accounts (Level 3) to own end-to-end partner relationships across the full lifecycle: onboarding, retention, growth, customer support, save plans, and offboarding.
This is not a passive "check-in" or service-desk role. Every Account Manager at Lovingly owns a defined book of florist partners, drives growth through SEO and paid ads, and converts every partner conversation into a clear decision: yes, no, or defer.
The level you join at depends on the scale and complexity of books you can run today. All three levels share the same operating spine. They differ in book composition, sales scope, and team contribution.
You won't be fighting to convince partners that they need a strategy. You'll be the strategy, and you'll have the AI tooling, the playbooks, and the executive air cover to run it.
Requirements
What Every Account Manager Owns
Outcomes
- End-to-end ownership of a defined partner book across the full lifecycle

You'll Thrive in This Role If You…
Two things matter more than anything else on this list. If you don't have these, the rest doesn't save you. If you do have these, we can teach you the rest.
You thrive in a startup-like environment. High ambiguity. Constant change. Moving fast. Asking questions instead of waiting for specs. Insanely curious. You don't need the path to be drawn before you start walking it.
You are already deep into AI. This is an AI-first company. The job is AI-first. Everything is augmented with AI. We're looking for people who are already passionate about AI, already using it at a high level, and eager to expand how they use it. You'll learn things in this role you didn't think were possible — but only if you arrive already convinced that AI is the leverage point, not a buzzword.
Everything below is real, but secondary to the two above:
- You take total ownership of a book — no "that belongs to someone else" defaults
- You push every conversation to an explicit partner decision instead of vague alignment
- You treat customer experience recovery and save plans as core work, not exception work
- You operate effectively under a defined cadence without daily oversight
- You're comfortable receiving direct feedback and giving it
- For Senior and Key Accounts: you're comfortable running a sales motion alongside account management — not waiting for prospects to come to you
- For Key Accounts: you're comfortable coaching peers and pressure-testing leadership decisions with evidence
This Role Is Probably Not a Fit If…
- You don't thrive in environments with high degrees of ambiguity and constant change
- You aren't interested in using AI as a core part of how you work
- You aren't open to being measured on hard numbers and held to clear results
- You prefer advisory conversations without explicit partner commitments
- You treat save plans, CX recovery, or ads enrollment as someone else's responsibility
- You need detailed step-by-step direction to feel confident shipping work
- You avoid hard conversations with partners or peers
- You resist a structured cadence in favor of "managing by feel"
- For Senior and Key Accounts: you're resistant to running a sales motion
- For Key Accounts: you avoid coaching dimension or need formal hierarchical authority to influence behavior
Role Structure
- Role type: Individual contributor (all three levels — Key Accounts includes a coaching dimension but no direct reports)
- Reports to: Chief Operating Officer
- Location: Hybrid. We reasonably expect the general radius for this hire to be within one to two hours of our Hopewell Junction, NY office in the beautiful Hudson Valley. Our current hybrid schedule is three days every other week on-site (six days a month). Those days are already on the calendar. We're explicit about radius because this cadence may shift in the future — likely toward more on-site time, not less. We need people who can not only maintain the current rhythm but embrace a more frequent on-site cadence if the company moves that direction. If a "six days a month now" works but "three days every week later" doesn't, this isn't the right fit
Benefits
Compensation
Base salary range: $75,000–$100,000, dependent on level and demonstrated experience.
The role also includes variable compensation: a quarterly performance bonus tied to outcomes, a per-close sales accelerator (for levels with sales scope), and a per-event ads enrollment incentive. Specific structure is discussed at the offer stage based on the level you come in at.
Benefits & Work Environment
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive health insurance, dental, vision
- Time Off: 22 days PTO + holidays + 4 floating holidays
- Retirement: 401(k) with company match up to 3%
- Equipment: Latest Mac laptop
See Role Structure above for the full hybrid location expectation.
How to Apply
Apply directly through Workable with your resume and a brief note answering three questions:
- What level are you applying for (Junior / Senior / Key Accounts), and why?
- Talk to me about your relationship with change and how you tolerate ambiguity. Give a real example, not a generic answer.
- What are you doing today with AI? What do you think about AI? And how would you plan to bring it into this role?
If you're energized by owning a book end-to-end, running a structured cadence, and operating AI as a core part of how you work — we'd love to hear from you.
