Vendor Relations Specialist - Waste Data

Encamp

2d • $55,000 - $65,000 • Remote

About The Position

Encamp’s waste reporting depends on receiving complete, on-time data from a large network of third-party waste vendors and haulers every single month. Getting that data in the door is one of the biggest factors in how fast we can implement and deliver compliance outcomes for our customers. This role owns those relationships. You’ll be the point of contact our vendors know by name – the person who calls before the deadline rather than chasing after it, who knows which haulers are reliable and which ones need a nudge on the 3rd outreach attempt, and who turns those relationships into business growth opportunities. It’s a relationship-driven role where you’ll start with email outreach and pick up the phone to drive results when needed, and you’ll be backed by our data and waste teams on anything technical. The ideal candidate is: A persistent, personable relationship-builder who is energized by picking up the phone and genuinely enjoys building meaningful connections to drive operational outcomes on a deadline. You’re organized enough to hold a large book of contacts through a recurring monthly cycle, and you’re comfortable leveraging AI tools and a modern tech stack to work smarter and move faster. You enjoy closing loops, building business relationships, and hitting deadlines.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in a BDR, SDR, inside sales, account coordination, vendor management, or customer support role
• Comfortable with a mix of email and phone outreach – prioritize building relationships through written communication and are ready to pick up the phone to follow up without being asked when traction is needed
• Proactive in managing relationships with stakeholders
• Can nudge a vendor for the fourth time and still be someone they want to hear from
• Organized and self-directed, able to hold a large book of contacts and run a recurring monthly cycle without being managed to it
• Habit of logging every touch in a CRM; Salesforce experience is a plus
• Curious about AI tools and open to experimenting with them to work smarter — no prior experience needed, just a willingness to learn
• Must be proactive, organized, and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment
