Job Description

One of our customers is seeking a Sales Executive to sit remotely in North or South Carolina. This role operates in a “sell-with” capacity, partnering closely with their key distributors (AWC, Sunsource, IES) and their outside sales reps (OSRs) to drive growth across targeted accounts. On a day-to-day basis, this person will identify and prioritize key opportunities, align with 10–15 core distributor reps, and collaboratively build account strategies focused on both net-new penetration and expansion within existing customers—most of which have strong growth potential. Responsibilities include co-selling into accounts, developing pipeline, forecasting, and driving customer conversations around automation, efficiency, and system integration, while helping position their solutions within small to mid-sized opportunities (typically under $500K). The role is highly relationship-driven and execution-focused, requiring consistent engagement with partners to scale growth across the territory.
