  • Navigating distributor corporate structures, including category management, sourcing, merchandising, national accounts, and executive leadership
  • Negotiating pricing programs, stocking agreements, national programs, and strategic account initiatives
  • Developing executive-level account plans and conducting annual/quarterly business reviews
  • Creating pull-through demand with end users while leveraging the distributor channel
  • Growing strategic accounts beyond individual branches or territories
  • Selling industrial equipment, MRO solutions, maintenance products, engineered products, or related solutions
The Profile

We're especially interested in professionals who have worked for manufacturers or suppliers selling INTO major industrial distributors .

You may currently be a:

Strategic Account Manager | National Account Manager | Corporate Account Manager | Channel Sales Manager | Distribution Sales Manager | National Distribution Manager | Director of Strategic Accounts

The Question That Matters

Do you have established corporate-level relationships within Grainger or other major national industrial distributors?

If the answer is yes, I'd like to hear from you.

Apply directly or message me confidentially to start a conversation.
