About the Role

We are seeking a relationship-driven Account Manager to oversee and grow existing client partnerships across the Louisville regional territory. Backed by a multi-billion-dollar global leader with over 70 years of excellence in fluid system products and services—serving Chemical/Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, and Transportation sectors—this role focuses 100% on managing and upselling current accounts (no cold-calling or territory expansion required).

This position offers full remote flexibility, a tight-knit family culture, direct access to leadership without HR layers, and a clear path forward—the current Account Manager was just promoted after three years of success in this exact seat.

What We Are Looking For

You do not need a complex engineering degree to excel here. What matters most is a strong sales background paired with natural mechanical aptitude.

If you are someone who inherently understands how things work—whether you enjoy working on cars, building projects around the home, or tinkering with equipment—you will thrive. Our best account managers build trust and rapport quickly with engineers and maintenance heads because they speak the client's language and understand practical, hands‑on applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage & Grow Existing Accounts: Serve as the main point of contact for established clients across the region, identifying opportunities to introduce custom assembly/fabrication services, new product lines, and specialized technical solutions.
• Build High-Trust Relationships: Engage directly with key decision-makers, plant managers, and engineers to understand their operational challenges and lower their total cost of ownership.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal engineering, production, and inside sales teams to deliver tailor‑made technical proposals and seamless customer support.
• Account Strategy: Develop account plans aligned with long-term revenue targets and deliver product/application presentations as needed.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: 1 to 5+ years of B2B sales, account management, or technical business development experience. Must have a 4 year degree.
• Mechanical Aptitude: A strong practical understanding of mechanical systems, tools, or fluid technology (experience or personal background in automotive, mechanics, construction, or hands‑on technical trades is a major plus).
• Location: Must live in the Louisville, KY metro area (covering key adjacent corridors like Bowling Green to Columbus, IN).
• Soft Skills: Excellent rapport‑building, listening, and consultative sales ability with a customer‑first mindset.
• Tech Savvy: Proficient with standard tools (Microsoft Office suite, CRM platforms).

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Warm Desk: Inherit an established, high-performing account base with zero required cold prospect expansion.
• Fun, Supportive Team Culture: Enjoy the resources of a global giant alongside the friendly, collaborative feel of a regional sales office.
• Direct Access: Work directly alongside the Regional Sales Manager without corporate red tape.
