Strategic Account Manager

Strategic Account Manager (Remote, New England) Precision Sales Recruiting is a veteran-owned recruiting firm that places sales professionals with manufacturing, capital equipment, and industrial distribution companies.

You will work as an overlay seller. Field account managers handle day-to-day orders, and you own the strategic relationship and growth plan on the largest accounts.
