Junior Account ManagerBlue Sparrow Lawn & Landscape | Kansas City Metro
Hourly Position | Full-Time
Build a Career. Not Just Another Job.
At Blue Sparrow Lawn & Landscape, we believe great landscapes begin with great people.
We're looking for someone who already knows commercial grounds maintenance and is ready to take the next step into leadership. This isn't a position where you'll be handed a truck and left on your own. You'll work directly alongside our leadership team, learn the Blue Sparrow way, and develop into an exceptional account manager with real opportunities for advancement.
If you're looking for another corporate landscape company, this probably isn't the place for you.
If you're looking for a company where your work matters, your ideas are valued, and you can build a long-term career while helping create some of Kansas City's most beautiful commercial properties, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
As a Junior Account Manager, you'll work closely with our leadership team while learning every aspect of Blue Sparrow's commercial operations.
Responsibilities include:
- Lead commercial grounds maintenance and landscape enhancement crews in the field.
- Ensure every property meets Blue Sparrow's Code of Standards.
- Manage daily schedules, routes, crew assignments, and production goals.
- Train, coach, and mentor crew members while building a positive team culture.
- Perform quality control inspections and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Communicate professionally with commercial property managers and customers.
- Assist with enhancement recommendations and property improvement opportunities.
- Work alongside upper management to learn Blue Sparrow's systems, leadership philosophy, and operational standards.
- Step in and work alongside crews whenever needed. Leadership at Blue Sparrow means leading from the front.

We're Looking For Someone Who...
- Leads with integrity and takes ownership.
- Is a strong leader and an even stronger teacher.
- Has an exceptional eye for detail and quality.
- Builds trust with customers, coworkers, and crew members.
- Solves problems before they become bigger problems.
- Is organized, dependable, and self-motivated.
- Wants to learn, grow, and build a long-term career.
- Isn't afraid to get their hands dirty while leading by example.

Why Blue Sparrow?
Everything we do is built around one mission:
To steward landscapes with integrity, preserving their beauty, health, and stability.
We're not interested in becoming the biggest landscape company. We're focused on becoming the best.
That means investing in our people, building leaders from within, maintaining exceptional properties, and creating long-term relationships with our customers.
This position is designed as an entry point into leadership. You'll work directly with our leadership team, learn our systems, understand what sets Blue Sparrow apart, and help shape the future of our company.
At Blue Sparrow, we don't believe management starts in an office. It starts in the field, earning the respect of your team, setting the standard every day, and never asking someone to do a job you wouldn't do yourself.
If you're looking for a place where your work matters, where you'll be challenged to grow, and where you'll have the opportunity to build a rewarding career, we'd love to meet you.
