Company Overview
Founded in 1985, JRP is a privately held, technology-driven distributor of diesel fuel, lubricants, and related petroleum and fuel management solutions serving customers nationwide. Headquartered in Ashland, Virginia, we combine knowledgeable teams, innovative technology, data-driven insights, and strong customer partnerships to deliver reliable, efficient fuel solutions.

Position Summary
JRP is seeking an Account Manager to serve as the primary strategic relationship and project-management resource for one of JRP’s key national customers. This role will work closely with the customer, JRP leadership, Operations, and other internal teams to strengthen the partnership, support ongoing operations, and identify opportunities to expand services and grow the account.
This is a strategic, proactive account-management role—not a reactive customer-service position.

The role combines account management, project coordination, customer relationship development, reporting, proposal support, and consultative sales responsibilities.
This is a remote opportunity; however, candidates must be based within commuting distance of Dallas, Texas, or be willing and able to travel to the Dallas area as needed for customer meetings and business requirements.
