About the Opportunity

What makes this opportunity exciting is the ability to work in a larger territory starting off with just a few sales managers to cover each region of the US – East, Midwest, and Western regions – and may even allow you to move into different regions until others are hired to help with the territory.

This company is family owned and operated, and they seek to find those who function well within midsized, scaled companies. If you are looking for growth opportunities within a company, this role is positioned as the foundation to build up sales teams for this person to manage one day.

They continue to be a fast-growing business that is bringing quality and trustworthy products as a supplier for their business relationships around the world.
