Sales Account Manager

About IBS Electronics

IBS Electronics is a global electronic components distributor operating across the US, Hong Kong, and China. For over 40 years, we've helped customers in aerospace, defense, medical, industrial, and energy markets solve hard supply chain problems and move fast when it counts.

We're a young, fast-moving, technology-driven team, and we're investing to grow. That means real opportunity to build a career here, not just fill a seat. We use modern ERP, data, and AI-assisted tools because we believe technology should free people to do their best work, not replace them.

We're also intentional about how we build our team. Sales and Procurement work side by side as global partners. Account Managers are paired directly with buyers across our US and our Global Offices, so collaboration isn't a slogan here; it's how the work gets done. We welcome candidates of every background and are committed to building a team where different perspectives make us sharper.
