Job description

Description

At AmTab Manufacturing Corporation, we’re more than a school furniture company — we’re a mission-driven organization redefining how students experience learning. As a minority-owned, 100% Made-in-USA manufacturer, we create high-impact, design-forward K–12 environments across the country. We own our entire process — from concept through installation — and deliver results with unmatched speed, quality, and personalization.

We’re growing fast and we’re looking for a sales leader who can grow faster.

If you’re hungry to own a territory, thrive in K–12 partnerships, and know how to win in both the short and long term — this is your seat at the table.

Manager – Education Partnerships

This role is both strategic and executional — from lead generation and presentations to quote management and final install coordination.

You’ll work with end-users, distributors, designers, and internal teams to deliver integrated learning environments that include furniture, signage, graphics, and décor. This is a hybrid sales/project management role where your ability to build rapport, handle details, and drive revenue are equally critical to success.

This is a field-based role with moderate travel across states including New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and surrounding areas.
