Job description

A proudly-imperfect Sales Manager thrives where targets are loud and excuses are quiet, and that's the culture CBRE Group built in Rockford, IL. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $81,000 - $115,000 and internship hours come standard, but the sales marketing reins are the real prize.

Key Responsibilities

• Dig into Active Listening funnels and fix the step where buyers vanish
• Build the campaign calendar that keeps Rockford, IL pipeline full year-round
• Show up at Rockford, IL networking nights with a reason to follow up
• Coordinate cross-functional launches with creative, product, and operations
• Script the webinar that fills the sales marketing top of funnel
• Coach junior reps through their first fiercely-supportive negotiation
• Hands‑on ownership of social media calendars and community engagement
• Frame the no‑ego ROI a Rockford, IL CFO can defend internally

What You'll Bring

• Roughly 6+ years operating in a similar Sales Manager position
• Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Rockford, IL deadlines bring
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Practical command of Active Listening, with bonus points for Multitasking
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent

CBRE Group builds sales marketing tools the way old shops built furniture — slowly, in Rockford, IL, and with a bias-to-action respect for the craft. You won't find performance theater here; we care what you shipped, not how busy you looked.

The compensation here starts at $81,000 - $115,000, paired with unlimited PTO and a manager committed to your professional growth.

This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
