Sales Manager - Industrial Components
Keller Executive Search is recruiting for a profitable, growing industrial manufacturer serving processing and manufacturing markets. Our client sells application-specific physical products through OEM, reseller, and end-user channels. Increased production capacity has created a strong platform for profitable commercial growth.

You will personally prospect, open accounts, expand existing relationships, visit customer facilities, and manage opportunities from application discovery and quoting through closing and follow-through. Success means generating growth while protecting margin and customer profitability.
The role also supports a planned leadership succession, providing time to learn established customer relationships, technical applications, and pricing practices. Initially, this is an individual-contributor and functional-lead position with no direct reports. It offers a credible path to Sales Director and the opportunity to build a sales team as results support further investment.
