About The Job

Ready to lead our mining sales strategy and build powerful client partnerships across North America? At Bradken (a subsidiary of Hitachi Construction Machinery), how we work is just as important as what we deliver. Guided by our values of Challenge, Customer, and Communication (The Kenkijin Spirit), we are seeking a dynamic Area Manager – Mining Sales (North America). In this pivotal role, you will combine high-level commercial strategy, people leadership, and deep customer engagement to sustainably grow business profitability in a competitive mining landscape. This is a unique opportunity to lead a multidisciplinary sales team at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and global operations, where your leadership will directly drive market share and performance.

The Value-Add for Top Talent

• Fully Leased Corporate Vehicle: To ensure you can easily connect with our people and partners, this role includes a fully company-leased truck for all business and field travel.
• True Leadership & Autonomy: You will hold full functional ownership of regional sales plans, major contract negotiations, and team optimization, reporting directly to the Vice President of Sales, North America.
• Global Ecosystem: Leverage the immense technological, manufacturing, and supply chain strength of both Bradken and the wider Hitachi Construction Machinery Group.

About The Role

As Area Manager, you will lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing regional Mining Sales team (including Regional Sales and Account Managers). Your mission is to analyze market and competitor dynamics, optimize sales processes, and execute robust value propositions that drive regional growth.

Product Scope

This role directly focuses on Mining Mobile Equipment portfolios, specifically targeting Ground Engaging Tools (GET), Crawler Systems, and associated heavy machinery solutions.
