Reporting to the Vice President of Sales, the National Sales Director will be responsible for developing and executing a national account growth strategy. This is a highly commercial, hunter-oriented role focused on opening new logos and expanding relationships with multi-location customers.
The Director will target enterprise and upper middle-market accounts across key end markets including convenience retail, grocery, commercial and industrial facilities, and large contractors engaged in mission-critical builds (including data centerβrelated subcontracting work).
Key responsibilities include:
Success will be measured by new logo acquisition, national account revenue growth, and expansion within target verticals.
The Company is a high-growth, private equityβbacked Mechanical Services platform serving commercial, industrial, and multi-location customers across North America. Historically, the business has scaled through strong regional density, operational excellence, and a reputation for technical reliability in mission-critical environments.
With a strong regional foundation in place, the Company is now entering its next phase of growth: expanding from a geographically driven sales model to a coordinated national account strategy. The platform is uniquely positioned to serve customers with distributed footprints - including convenience store chains, grocery retailers, industrial facilities, data center contractors, and other multi-site operators - yet has only begun to formalize a national go-to-market approach.
The Sponsorβs value-creation plan is centered on operational improvement, selective tuck-in acquisitions, and accelerating organic growth through national account penetration and cross-regional synergies. Sales leadership is viewed as a primary growth lever.
