Account Manager

Do you take ownership, solve complex problems, and turn customer challenges into results? Ferco Tech is on the lookout for an Account Manager in aerospace manufacturing who can build strong customer relationships, drive commercial decisions, and keep teams moving toward a solution. If you’re someone who digs into the details, makes sound recommendations, and follows through on commitments, we want to talk.

At Ferco Tech, the Account Manager serves as a senior commercial resource between our Account Specialists and company leadership. You’ll take the lead on complex customer escalations, manage the RFQ process, and analyze pricing and profitability. Working closely with Planning, Operations, Quality, Engineering, and Estimating, you’ll help ensure customer commitments are achievable, commercial decisions are supported by data, and issues are driven to closure. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of account performance and turns analysis into action.

If you want to put your commercial experience and analytical skills to work for a growing company with a track record of investing in its people and its future, consider joining a business that aims to be world-class in everything we do. Full-time position available on 1st shift.

• Own the daily RFQ process—from customer request through technical and cost reviews, pricing recommendations, submission, and follow-up.
• Partner with Engineering and Estimating to assess technical feasibility, review cost estimates, and prepare complete RFQ packages for commercial review.
• Develop pricing recommendations using manufacturing costs, gross margin, historical pricing, forecast volumes, customer demand, engine build rates, and competitive considerations.
• Analyze customer backlog, forecasts, delivery performance, revenue, profitability, and scorecards to identify risks and opportunities.
• Track quote outcomes and maintain win/loss reporting to improve quoting effectiveness.
• Support annual pricing reviews, pricing adjustments, and margin-improvement initiatives.
• Provide leadership with clear analysis and recommendations, escalating significant demand changes or commercial risks when needed.

• Aerospace manufacturing experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with Epicor ERP.
