About The Position

Our client is a well-established metal roofing and panel manufacturer seeking an Outside Sales Representative to develop and grow direct relationships with roofing contractors across the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton markets. This is a territory-builder role with a defined customer base, a strong product line, and the autonomy to operate as a true field salesperson — not a desk-bound estimator. The Cincinnati/Dayton corridor is home to a deep base of roofing contractors installing metal across residential, commercial, and ag projects. The right candidate will own that territory, build trust with installers, and convert direct relationships into recurring retail volume.

Requirements

Track record of building direct relationships with contractors, builders, or trades.
Comfort working autonomously in the field and managing your own territory.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Computer literate — CRM, quoting tools, email, basic Office.
Valid driver's license and willingness to travel locally throughout the territory.

Nice To Haves

Metal roofing industry experience preferred — sales, estimating, or contractor-facing roles all considered.

Responsibilities

Develop and manage direct sales relationships with roofing contractors across the Cincinnati/Dayton territory (Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Montgomery, and surrounding counties).
Grow new retail sales by calling on contractors in the field — this is a direct-sell role, not a distribution-driven one.
Sell standing seam and agricultural metal product lines into both new construction and re-roof projects.
Build and maintain an active contractor pipeline across the local market.
Provide product education, quoting support, and on-site problem solving to win and retain installer loyalty.
Work primarily in the field, with 1–2 days per week at the office during ramp-up and 1 day per week post-training.
Partner with internal estimating, production, and operations teams to deliver on commitments and protect margin.
