National Account Executive

Keurig Dr Pepper is looking for a driven and strategic National Account Executive to own our Dollar General business. You’ll manage a fast-growing portfolio that includes iconic brands like Mott’s and Hawaiian Punch—spanning juice, drink mixes, and sauces—and serve as the primary point of contact with one of America’s largest retailers.

This is a high-visibility role for a commercially sharp leader who can think strategically, plan with discipline, and execute with precision—while building the partnerships that drive sustainable, category-leading growth.

This position is based in our Nashville, TN sales office.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Drive Revenue & Hit the Plan

• Own and deliver the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), tracking KPIs and adjusting tactics to stay on target.
• Identify and close incremental distribution, merchandising, and promotional opportunities with Dollar General.
• Sell win-win solutions that strengthen the partnership while protecting KDP’s financial goals. Negotiate when necessary.

Build Strategic Relationships

• Serve as the primary liaison to Dollar General, cultivating relationships across buyer, category, and leadership levels.
• Develop and present clear, compelling, data-backed business plans that align with consumer and shopper insights.
• Engage internal stakeholders—Marketing, Category Management, RGM, Product, and the Bottling Network—to bring the best of KDP to the table.
• Act as an internal champion for the Dollar General business, translating customer priorities into coordinated, cross-functional action.

• Salary range: $116,100 - $170,000
• Actual placement within the compensation range may vary depending on experience, skills, and other factors
• Benefits, subject to election and eligibility: Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, Paid Time Off (including paid parental leave, vacation, and sick), 401k with company match, Tuition Reimbursement, and Mileage Reimbursement
• Annual bonus based on performance and eligibility

• 5+ years of progressive sales or account management experience, ideally in CPG, Beverage, or a Fortune 500 environment.
• Dollar General experience is a strong plus—you know the retailer’s culture, priorities, and pace.
• Proven track record of building strategic account plans and delivering measurable revenue and profit growth.
• Strong financial acumen: you’re comfortable owning a P&L and making data-driven decisions.
• Exceptional communicator and presenter—you can inspire a room of executives as easily as you can align a cross-functional working team.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) for analysis, storytelling, and planning.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU NEED TO BE...

• Energized by big, complex customer relationships—not intimidated by them.
• Lead with insights and earn alignment through credibility, not title.
• Balance long-term vision with short-term execution without losing focus on either.
• Take ownership seriously and treat the business like it’s your own.
