Job Title: Outside Sales Representative

Location: Based near Charleston, NC (preferred) or within Eastern/Central Time Zones (TX to NJ)

Fully remote opportunity, with consistent travel

About Our Client

Our client is a globally recognized automation and robotics firm specializing in customized, high-performance processing and packaging systems for the food, pharma, chemical, and manufacturing industries. They blend world-class engineering with international standards to solve complex operational problems and deliver turnkey industrial automated solutions.

About the Role

We’re partnering with our client to hire a seasoned Outside Sales Representative to drive equipment sales—particularly packaging (e.g., palletizers) and processing systems—across key U.S. regions (such as TX and NJ). This is not a transactional sales role; it’s a performance-driven opportunity for a self-starter who thrives in a consultative, technical sales environment and knows how to move deals from discovery to close with minimal handholding.

You’ll serve as a bridge between our U.S. clients and our client’s engineering teams in India. The leads pipeline is managed by the India-based team; you’ll be responsible for nurturing relationships, solution-selling, and closing deals.

What You’ll Do

• Own and grow a defined territory (Chicago and East, especially TX/NJ), managing full-cycle CapEx and processing & packaging equipment sales.
• Travel extensively to client sites, production facilities, and industry events.
• Sell to plant managers, engineering heads, and procurement leaders with a strong technical and consultative approach.
• Translate client needs into solution specs, working closely with India-based engineering and project teams.
• Represent our client’s capabilities with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
• Manage long sales cycles typical of packaging/processing equipment with professionalism and persistence.

Who You Are

Top 3 Must-Haves:

• Relevant Industry Experience: 5-10 years in equipment sales, ideally with a company building customized packaging or processing systems.
• Self-Driven Performer: You take initiative, manage your own schedule, and handle travel like a pro. No hand-holding.
• Global Collaboration: Experience working with international teams, especially Indian or South Asian firms, is a strong advantage.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Located in or near Charleston, NC, or able to travel easily across Eastern and Central time zones.
• Strong technical acumen in packaging systems (e.g., palletizers) or processing equipment.
• Consultative selling background with a proven ability to navigate complex sales cycles.
• Experienced with CRM tools, client reporting, and performance tracking.
• Previous leadership is a plus, but this role is individual contributor-focused with room to grow.
• Clear, confident communicator and cultural bridge-builder between U.S. clients and Indian engineering teams.

Why Join Our Client

• Work with cutting-edge, highly customized systems—not off-the-shelf equipment.
• Be part of a lean, high-impact team with strong engineering support.
• Flexible timeline: we’re looking for the right person, not just a quick hire.
• Competitive compensation tied to performance—not just tasks.
• Report directly to ownership

If you’re a proven technical sales professional who thrives on autonomy, cross-cultural collaboration, and performance-driven results, this is the role for you.
