Regional Sales Manager – Growing company / American Made/owned / Specialty Steel

Job Description

A niche U.S. manufacturer of steel overlay plate and custom-fabricated solutions is looking for its first outside sales rep. This is a unique opportunity to step into a ground-floor role and shape the company’s sales strategy, process, and go-to-market function from scratch. You’ll sell to customers in mining, cement, aggregates, and heavy industry—while helping drive the next chapter of growth for a business with deep capabilities and a reputation for speed, quality, and American-made materials.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Be the owner’s right hand—help shape the future of the organization and grow as the company grows

  • Products are 100% Made in America

  • Flexible schedule – fully remote role with lots of support

  • Fast lead times, full-service fabrication, and responsive quoting

  • Custom work others can’t or won’t take on

  • Real autonomy to run your territory and build your book

  • Customized comp:  Six-figure base + uncapped commission + potential for future equity

The Role

This is a full-cycle outside sales position focused on growing new business across the Central and Eastern U.S. You’ll target steel distributors, OEMs, and industrial end users, with a flexible mix of travel, remote work, and trade show participation. You’ll also be a key voice in developing marketing and lead generation efforts.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Prospecting and closing new logos across mining, material handling, construction, and heavy industry
  • Advising customers on custom solutions and technical options
  • Managing distributor relationships and select repeat accounts
  • Influencing sales tools, process, and go-to-market strategy

Compensation & Benefits

 

  • Customized compensation plan:  six figure base salary + uncapped commission + potential for future equity
  • Full benefits + 401K w/ match
  • Car allowance and travel expense reimbursement

Requirements

  • MUST HAVE 5+ years of industrial sales experience selling into aggregates, mining, cement, heavy industries, or forestry/pulp & paper industries
  • Strong preference for background in steel, fabricated components, or wear parts
  • Experience selling to distributors is a big plus
  • Based in the Central or Eastern U.S.; comfortable with regional travel and 2–3 trade shows per year (full autonomy over your own travel schedule)
  • A builder’s mindset—you want to help create something new!
