Job description

Mission Linen Supply is seeking an experienced Account Representative. The ideal Account Representative is an enthusiastic sales professional responsible for developing new business.

No linen or uniform industry experience is required. Previous sales or customer service experience, whether in the linen/uniform rental industry or with the types of customers we serve (hospitality, medical, and industrial businesses), is a plus, but we'll train you on our specific products and market.

If you're looking for a stable industry with a real, uncapped earning ceiling, not just a job but a sales career, this role is built for that. Mission Linen Supply is a family-owned, privately held company and a leading provider of linen, uniform, and facility service products across five western states. Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, CA, Mission has grown from a one-man operation into an industry leader, while remaining stable, essential, and steadily growing. Industrial laundry and linen services are a recession-resistant, essential industry. Hospitals, hotels, and restaurants need clean linens and uniforms regardless of the economy. That means real, ongoing opportunities for career advancement, not a static org chart.

Here’s how you’ll earn at Mission:

Weeks 1-18: Learn and earn. Get paid $1,300 per week plus a $210 weekly car allowance, during training while you build your skills with support from your team.

After training: Build your income. Receive a guaranteed base of $800 per week and watch your income grow as your accounts do.

Earn what you create with uncapped potential. Your earnings are shaped by your results. In 2025, our Account Representatives earned between $72,000 and $188,000 based on their sales performance.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings program

• Full-time employment with full benefits
