• Experience managing large geographic territories.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a strong hunter mentality who enjoys creating opportunities, establishing relationships, and building business from the ground up. Product-specific knowledge can be learned; industry relationships, business development experience, and a track record of growing territory sales are the most critical success factors.

Preferred Industry Backgrounds and Experience from the following industries is highly desirable:

• Lumber and engineered wood products
• Specialty construction products

This is an opportunity to play a key role in building and expanding a growing business within a high-potential market. The Territory Sales Manager will have significant autonomy, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the ability to influence market growth and customer adoption across an important strategic region.
