Description

You'll live at the intersection of technical expert, trainer, and relationship builder:

• Lead hands-on product demonstrations for rescue equipment and personal safety systems
• Train fire departments, EMS teams, and rescue crews on how to properly use critical equipment
• Customize demos to real-world scenarios—not canned presentations
• Act as the go-to expert—answering questions, solving problems, and building confidence in the gear
• Support the sales team by helping turn demos into real deals and long-term partnerships
• Travel to departments, training grounds, and customer sites—this is a field-first role

What Makes This Role Different

You're not just selling equipment.

You're:

• Showing a firefighter how to trust the gear they're about to rely on
• Training a team so they're ready when the call comes in
• Representing a brand that stands behind the people who protect communities

When they use it in the field—you helped make that possible.

What You Bring

• Experience with product demos, training, or technical sales (bonus if it's in safety/rescue equipment)
• Strong technical aptitude—you can learn complex equipment and explain it clearly
• Confidence to lead trainings in front of groups (classroom or hands-on environments)
• Natural relationship builder—people trust you quickly
• Ability to adapt—no two demos or departments are the same
• Willingness to travel—this role is built for someone who likes being on the move

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Becoming an expert in rescue and personal safety equipment
• Delivering high-impact training and demonstrations that drive conversions
• Supporting pricing, proposals, and customer conversations alongside sales
• Providing post-sale training to ensure customers are fully equipped and confident
• Gathering feedback from the field and helping improve products and processes
• Managing your schedule, travel, and key account activity

The Kind of Person Who Wins Here

• You don't want a routine—you want purpose and movement
• You take pride in knowing your work actually matters
• You can switch from technical detail to real-world application without missing a beat
• You're just as comfortable in front of a group as you are working hands-on with equipment

• The work is real
• The impact is immediate
