This is a high-impact role managing a ~$20-25 million revenue territory composed of ~30 key regional and strategic accounts.

You will act as a trusted advisor to customers, focusing on value-driven solutions, not transactional selling. This territory-based role combines farmer and hunter sales skills, managing an existing customer base while actively identifying and converting new business opportunities.

What You'll Do:

• Develop and execute account strategies aligned with business forecasts
• Drive year-over-year growth according to the Annual Operating Plan (AOP)
• Engage with stakeholders ranging from plant operators to CEOs
• Navigate complex sales cycles with a consultative, solution-oriented approach
• Coordinate cross-functional support including Technical Service, Product & Market Specialists, and Inside Sales
• Maintain accurate records in our CRM platform (C4C) including pipeline, forecasting, and account planning
• Conduct in-plant visits to processing and packaging facilities (e.g., protein plants)
• Identify and quantify value-creation opportunities for customers
• Deliver exceptional service while meeting sales and profitability goals

What You Bring:

• Proven experience in technical or consultative B2B sales, preferably in packaging, food, printing/converting, or related sectors
• Knowledge of packaging equipment and production environments (a strong plus)
• Strong relationship-building skills and ability to influence at all levels
• Self-starter mindset with ability to work independently and manage a large territory
• High integrity, authenticity, and customer-first mentality
• Comfortable working in both executive boardrooms and operational plant environments
• Strong organizational skills, CRM proficiency, and commitment to follow-up
• Ability to manage T&E expenses within annual budget

Preferred Qualifications:

• 3+ years in outside sales, technical sales, or packaging industry roles
• Familiarity with protein packaging markets (beef, pork, poultry, cheese)
• Experience managing a high-revenue portfolio
• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required
• Estimated 20-25% overnight travel (driving-based within the region) with daily travel within the region (not overnight).
