Job description

Build the territory. Grow the business. Make an impact.

Starting Monthly Salary: $4,813–$6,017

Compensation is based on skills, experience, and qualifications.

Are you a driven sales professional who enjoys being out in the field, building relationships and turning opportunities into results?

As a Sales Representative for VELUX, you’ll take ownership of an assigned Albany territory and play a key role in growing our skylight business and expanding our market share.

You’ll work directly with dealers, builders, contractors, remodelers, roofers and architects — helping them discover the value of VELUX products and identifying new opportunities to grow the business.

This is a highly visible, relationship-driven field sales role where you’ll have the freedom to manage your territory, develop your own opportunities and make a measurable difference.

What you'll do

Own and grow your territory

Develop and execute an annual territory plan focused on the customers, markets and opportunities with the greatest potential for growth.

You’ll spend significant time in the field:

• Prospecting for new business and developing new customer relationships.
• Growing existing dealer and trade accounts.
• Identifying opportunities to increase VELUX product sales.
• Building strong relationships with builders, contractors, remodelers, roofers and architects.
• Delivering engaging sales presentations and product demonstrations.
• Working with customers to identify the right solutions for their projects.

Be the VELUX expert

You’ll become a trusted resource for our customers by providing product training and practical guidance on the application and installation of VELUX products.

You’ll also support contractors with in-home selling opportunities, helping them confidently present VELUX solutions to homeowners and close additional business.

Be a true field sales partner

No two days will be the same. In addition to managing your territory, you may support field service activities, customer events, local trade shows and training sessions alongside other VELUX Sales Representatives.

You’ll manage your territory budget responsibly, track your activities and opportunities, and use sales data to help focus your time where it can have the greatest impact.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is commercially driven, curious and great with people.

You don't need to have a traditional sales background to succeed here. Experience in sales is helpful, but we're equally interested in people who understand the building industry and have the drive, communication skills and confidence to build a career in field sales.

You might come from a background in construction, roofing, remodeling, building products, architecture or another trade — or you may already be an experienced salesperson looking for greater ownership of a territory.

You’ll bring:

• Strong communication, presentation and relationship-building skills.
• The confidence to influence, persuade and engage customers at different levels.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach and the ability to work independently.
• Strong planning, organization, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
• A genuine interest in the building industry and an ability to spot commercial opportunities.
• Good working knowledge of computers and Microsoft Office.
• A professional approach and the motivation to achieve results in a field-based role.

A Bachelor's degree or trade school training, combined with knowledge of the building industry, is preferred.

This is a hands-on field role

You’ll need to be comfortable working in real-world building environments and able to perform essential physical activities including lifting, reaching, stooping, climbing and handling materials weighing more than 50 pounds.

Why VELUX?

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of a territory, build a strong network of customers and become a trusted partner within the building industry.

If you're energized by meeting customers, finding opportunities, winning new business and seeing the results of your work in the field, we'd love to hear from you.
