Why This Role, Why Now

Accel International is the go-to high-performance conductor manufacturer for aerospace, defense, and data centers — and the wind is at our back

With serious institutional backing behind our growth, we're expanding capacity, adding technology, and pushing into new accounts. This is a rare moment to join a company on the way up and build something you own.

What You'll Actually Do

This isn't an order-taking job. You're the face of Accel in the field — building relationships, opening doors, and turning them into long-term partnerships. You'll own your territory, grow your book of business, and get real support from every team in the building to win.

Drive business growth

• Hunt and grow: penetrate new markets, win share from competitors, and turn prospects into customers.
• Own your territory: build and drive a pipeline you're accountable for, with the autonomy to run it like it's yours.
• Close smart: qualify and develop RFQs, recommend the right product solutions, and build quotes using established pricing guidelines.

Build customer relationships that last

• Become the trusted advisor: understand what customers really need and earn the relationship, not just the transaction.
• Deliver real value: partner with engineering, operations, and quality so every customer gets consistent, world-class service.
• Grow the account: keep customers happy, keep them coming back, and expand what they buy over time.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary (DOE) — a salaried role with generous bonus potential tied to your results.
• A clear path up: real growth opportunities as the company grows.
• Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision; free disability and life insurance; AFLAC coverage.
• 401(k) with company match, plus PTO and mileage/travel reimbursement.
• A challenging, rewarding environment where your work is visible and your wins matter.

What You Bring

• Drive. You're results-oriented, customer-obsessed, and you thrive under pressure.
• A track record. 3–5 years of sales experience with a successful record in industrial sales (wire or metals a strong plus).
• A bachelor's degree or higher (required).
• The fundamentals. Experience qualifying and developing RFQs, proficiency in MS Office, and sharp written and verbal communication.
• The intangibles. Strong work ethic, integrity, resourcefulness, and a genuine commitment to the customer.
• Willingness to travel up to 75% and to be based in Connecticut.

The Details

• Location: Connecticut applicants only; in-person, up to 75% travel.
• Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday.
• Compensation: Competitive base salary plus bonus opportunities.
