About the company

We are a specialty building products distributor serving contractors, dealers, and remodelers across residential and commercial markets. With a comprehensive portfolio that includes doors, interior trim, cabinets, countertops and more, our business is built on being the “single-source” partner for our customers.

The culture emphasizes working hard, working smart, working fast, and winning together — with a strong focus on development, accountability, and delivering value.

Position Summary

We are seeking a strategic and results-driven Sales Manager who will lead a team of sales professionals and drive profitable growth across our wholesale dealer channel. This role will require a deep understanding of building-products distribution, channel dynamics, and the competitive landscape. You will be responsible for sales strategy, account development, quota attainment, team leadership, and collaboration across cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute the sales strategy for assigned region or channel, aligned with company goals and market opportunity.
  • Lead, coach and mentor a team of territory managers/inside sales/account executives to meet and exceed sales targets.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key wholesale accounts, distribution partners, and channel stakeholders; serve as a trusted advisor.
  • Monitor market trends, competitive activity, and customer needs to identify new business opportunities and drive share growth.
  • Collaborate with product management, marketing, and supply-chain teams to ensure portfolio alignment, promotional support and optimal SKU availability.
  • Establish and track performance metrics (pipeline, conversion, revenue, margin) and provide regular reporting to senior leadership.
  • Manage budgets, forecasts and sales planning; ensure proper territory coverage and resource allocation.
  • Drive customer satisfaction and retention through operational excellence, responsiveness and a service-centric mindset.
  • Evangelize company culture and values within the sales organization — instilling accountability, continuous improvement, and high performance.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing or related field preferred.
  • Minimum of 5 years of progressive sales experience in wholesale distribution or building products industry; prior leadership/managerial responsibility is required.
  • Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets and margin goals.
  • Strong vendor/distribution network experience and ability to establish credibility at multiple levels of the channel (wholesaler, distributors, contractors).
  • Exceptional leadership and team development skills; ability to inspire, coach and hold teams accountable.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and presentation skills; comfortable interacting with senior customers and internal stakeholders.
  • High level of business acumen, strategic thinking and problem-solving ability.
  • Self-starter, results-oriented, able to thrive in a fast-paced, change-driven environment.

What We Offer
