About Us

Protingent is an employee-owned (ESOP) technical staffing firm founded in 2001 by a Director of Engineering who believed staffing should be run by people who understand the work. We place top engineering and technology talent with innovators in aerospace, space, energy, semiconductors, AI/cloud, medical devices, advanced manufacturing and other cutting edge technologies.

The Role

If you’re a hunter who loves the thrill of opening new doors, this is your seat. You’ll start conversations with the engineering leaders behind rockets, chips, medical devices, Data andAI infrastructure, and turn cold outreach into signed partnerships. With hands-on coaching behind you, you’ll own deals from first call to contract and beyond!

What You’ll Do

• Hunt for new business. Research and target high-growth engineering and technology companies through industry networking and targeted prospecting.
• Make the first move. Run daily warm and cold calls, targeted email campaigns, and LinkedIn outreach to book discovery meetings and share the Protingent value story.
• Build real relationships. Earn the trust of engineering and HR decision-makers so Protingent becomes their go-to partner for technical staffing and project support.
• Dig into client needs. Uncover project scope and hiring needs, then partner with our recruiters to deliver the right talent, fast.
• Close and onboard. Drive the sales cycle from discovery through proposals, negotiation, signed contracts, and account onboarding.
• Own your pipeline. Keep prospect records and activity current in our CRM so forecasting is clear and nothing slips through the cracks.

What You Bring

• A relentless mindset. You thrive on new account acquisition, relentlessly pursue new partnerships, and see “no” as “not yet.”
• A track record. You have 1+ years of inside or outside B2B sales success: hitting outreach metrics, opening new accounts, or growing revenue.
• Executive presence. You communicate confidently, verbally and in writing, with technical leaders on calls and in meetings.
• Curiosity about tech. You’re drawn to technology; experience in technical staffing, engineering services, or B2B sales is a major plus.
• Education. You have an Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent sales experience.
