Job description

Our client is a national leader in precision cleaning and contamination control services, with decades of process expertise behind it. They support ultra-high purity environments through certified cleanroom operations and on-site field services across the U.S. and internationally. Their customers work where contamination isn't an option, and those customers rely on them to protect yield, uptime, and qualification.

The Opportunity

This is a services sale, not a product sale. You'll own revenue growth for a cleanroom services business focused on semiconductor and microelectronics customers: fabs, OEM equipment manufacturers, microelectronics suppliers, and UHP system builders, owners, and installers. You'll position contamination control as a critical part of your customers' production and qualification processes rather than a line-item purchase.

You'll report directly to the VP of Cleanroom Services. Inside sales, estimating, customer service, and operations leadership will work with you to scope, price, and close complex service engagements. You'll also have real autonomy. You'll build the territory strategy, decide where to invest your time, and shape how the company shows up in current and emerging semiconductor programs.

What You'll Own

• New business: Identify, qualify, and win new service accounts across the semiconductor and microelectronics landscape through research, industry networks, and lead follow-up.
• Account growth: Expand program presence and share of wallet within existing customers.
• Quote-to-close: Own the full sales cycle, including scoping, pricing, and negotiating complex service contracts. You'll be measured on mix and margin as well as top-line revenue.
• Executive relationships: Build senior-level relationships with key customers so the company is positioned early on new programs, fab expansions, and technology transitions.
• Market presence: Become a recognized name in the sector through industry associations, trade events, and technical networks.
• Cross-sector support: Occasionally support customers in adjacent markets as business priorities require.

What You Bring

• 6-10 years in quota-carrying sales or business development, with a quantifiable track record.
• Demonstrated success selling into semiconductor and/or microelectronics accounts.
• Experience selling services, such as contract, field, or technical services. You know how to sell capability, reliability, and outcomes instead of a spec sheet.
• Comfort negotiating complex contract structures, including service agreements and multi-site programs.
• Strong presentation skills, from technical teams on the fab floor to executives in the boardroom.
• Disciplined CRM use (Microsoft Dynamics a plus).
• Bachelor's degree, technical or business focus preferred.
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.

Territory & Travel

This is a field-based role. Expect regular travel within the assigned territory, including day trips, commercial flights, and extended drives. Travel may account for more than half the workweek, with occasional overnights.
