Salary: $70,000 starting base (higher for the right experience) plus a $15,000 bonus after the 6-month onboarding period
Location: Rochester, New Hampshire, transitioning to remote after the first few months
The Opportunity
This is a hunter role for someone who wants to build a book of business rather than inherit one. You would be selling manufacturing, not a catalog. The company operates much like a contract manufacturing house, producing textile, coating, tile installation, and waterproofing components and systems to its customers' specifications.
It is an additional position. The long-term goal is for the right person to grow into a Sales Manager role.
Why This Opportunity Is Worth a Look
Compensation: $70,000 starting base, negotiable with experience, plus a $15,000 bonus after six months
Remote: Begin in Rochester, NH, then work remotely after the first few months
Growth path: The goal is for the right person to move into a Sales Manager role
Ownership: Develop new business rather than manage an existing book of accounts
Build-to-spec work: Your customers bring their specifications, and the manufacturer builds to them
Full project scope: Carry projects from prospecting through product development, packaging, branding, and launch
Cross-functional access: Work directly with product management, R&D, operations, quality, and supply chain
Flexible start date: The position is newly added, so there is room to transition from your current role

What We're Looking For
We are open to more than one profile. You might be earlier in your sales career with a strong hunter mentality and the drive to build something. Or you might already have solid B2B sales experience and be ready for your next step. Initiative, ownership, and willingness to be close to customers matter most.
Required
B2B consultative sales experience, or early-career experience paired with a clear hunter mentality
Comfort selling custom, made-to-specification solutions, such as private label, OEM, or contract manufacturing. Selling a manufacturer's off-the-shelf products is not the right fit for this role.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience (a science-related degree is a plus)
Strong presentation skills, in person and virtual, and commercial, analytical, and negotiation skills
Experience with CRM and ERP systems, and proficiency in MS Office
Willingness to travel 50-60% throughout the U.S. and Canada
Valid driver's license and passport
Preferred
Familiarity with the textile, coating, tile installation, waterproofing, ceramic tile and stone, flooring installation, building materials, or construction chemicals industries
Experience selling through distribution, OEM, or manufacturing channels
Personal Profile
Proactive and commercially minded, and willing to take ownership
Comfortable with long sales cycles and multiple decision-makers
Comfortable working independently while collaborating with international teams
Curious about customer applications and motivated by long-term partnerships
