• Clear communication and professional customer presence.
• High attention to detail in documentation, quoting, and follow-up.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and solving nonstandard customer problems.
• Strong ownership mindset and bias for action.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in technical sales, industrial sales, manufacturing, CNC, automation, robotics, or applications support.
• Experience coordinating with engineering or operations on custom scopes.
• Familiarity with quoting, BOM structure, lead times, Incoterms, or project handoff discipline.

Responsibilities

• Prospect, qualify, advance, and close opportunities with disciplined follow-up and strong CRM hygiene.
• Learn the customer’s process deeply enough to identify pain points in cycle time, labor, quality, uptime, footprint, and operator flow.
• Work with engineering to turn customer requirements into scopes, assumptions, concepts, and commercially sound proposals.
• Coordinate pricing, BOM inputs, lead times, and scope boundaries so proposals are accurate, clear, and professionally structured.
• Push deals forward, close loops internally, and maintain clean handoffs to operations, service, and purchasing.
• Use tools such as Claude or Gemini to accelerate research, account prep, call summaries, proposal drafting, and internal coordination without lowering standards.
