Love opening doors more than babysitting a book? Read on.

A privately held, family-owned high-tech manufacturer is building out its North American team. They have 1,500+ people across Germany, China and the US, they are a specified, strategic supplier to automotive OEMs and Tier 1s, and they are investing heavily here, including a brand-new US production and training facility opening within the next two years. They need a hunter in Michigan to grow the Great Lakes and Mexico territory.

• Negotiate contracts, build the annual budget and own your forecast

What you need

• 3 to 5+ years of outside sales selling into automotive Tier 1 suppliers or OEMs

Be honest with yourself on this one: this is a hunting role. If you prefer farming an established book, it won't suit you. If you enjoy building a territory from the ground up, it will.
