The Strategic Account Manager manages top client relationships, ensuring operational success and leveraging data to improve performance across multiple locations.
Who We Are:
Our story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. They had an idea: bring Chicago’s local restaurant culture inside the office to sell food. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something.
Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in 45 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly.
Powered by technology and a network of 3,500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day.
Position Overview
The Strategic Account Manager is the dedicated leader responsible for the success of Fooda’s largest and most strategic client partnerships. This role owns the overall health, outcomes, and growth strategy across a portfolio of clients and locations, while partnering closely with onsite and operational teams to ensure consistent, high-quality execution.
This is a highly visible, field-forward leadership role that blends client ownership, operational oversight, and data-driven decision-making. Strategic Account Managers are expected to maintain a regular onsite presence with their clients and teams, spending time in locations each week to build trust, understand operations firsthand, and proactively support success. Regional travel of approximately 25% is expected to support portfolio locations, client relationships, and team development.
