Territory Specialist/Senior

Got it! Here is the exact, clean text ready to copy and paste directly into the Job Description field in Workable:

Most territory sales roles hand you a list of accounts and wish you luck. This one hands you a system, a playbook, and a team that's invested in your success.

Chesapeake Plywood is one of the leading specialty wood distributors on the East Coast. Based in Baltimore, we supply hardwood, plywood, and engineered wood products to the manufacturers, fabricators, contractors, and builders behind projects that demand the best — presidential inaugurations, NFL stadiums, luxury airport lounges, major hospitality fit-outs. When the specification is difficult, the timeline is tight, and the margin for error is zero, our customers call us. We stock what others won't. We source what others can't find. We show up when others don't.

We're looking for a territory sales rep who wants to own their patch — build real relationships, hunt for new business, and operate as the expert their customers rely on.

What You're Walking Into: You'll join a sales team with a fully built sales framework, a published playbook calibrated to our six buyer personas, and a structured coaching and management system that tells you exactly what's expected and gives you the tools to deliver it. Weekly team meetings, regular 1:1s with the Sales Manager, pipeline reviews, and performance conversations that are developmental — not punitive.

From day one, you'll have a defined onboarding track — 30, 60, and 90-day milestones, structured check-ins, and a manager who knows what good looks like at each stage. You're not figuring it out alone.

Your territory covers Eastern Pennsylvania, including the following counties: Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. You'll manage A, B, and C accounts to a defined standard, travel a minimum of four days per week, and make 15+ outbound calls a day. You'll develop an annual sales plan, hit monthly targets, and bring market intelligence back to the team every week.

The Career Path is Real: Chesapeake has a published Territory Sales Career Progression Map — Territory Specialist, Senior Territory Specialist, Territory Executive — with transparent criteria, published pay ranges at every level, and no ambiguity about what it takes to advance. Our highest performers have built careers here from the ground up. If you're good and you do the work, the path is clear.
