The National Sales Manager will be responsible for developing and executing vertical-focused sales strategies, with primary responsibility for opening new national and multi-location accounts.
This is not a people-management role. It is a hands-on, hunter-driven position requiring direct personal quota ownership and measurable new logo acquisition.
Key responsibilities include:
Success will be measured by new logo acquisition, national revenue growth, and expansion within targeted vertical markets.
The Company is a rapidly growing, private equityβbacked mechanical services platform providing mission-critical facility system installation, maintenance, and service to multi-location commercial and industrial customers across the United States.
Over the past several years, the Company has successfully expanded its geographic footprint, built strong regional density, and earned a reputation for technical reliability and responsive service execution. Growth has been driven through a combination of operational excellence and selective tuck-in acquisitions.
With a solid operational foundation now in place, the business is entering its next phase: transitioning from a primarily regionally driven sales model to a coordinated national account strategy. The Company is uniquely positioned to serve customers with distributed footprints β including convenience store chains, grocery retailers, commercial and industrial operators, and large contractors engaged in mission-critical builds β yet has only recently formalized a national, vertical-focused go-to-market approach.
The private equity Sponsorβs value-creation strategy is centered on accelerating organic growth through national account penetration, cross-regional coordination, and revenue synergies across the expanded footprint. Sales execution is viewed as a primary driver of enterprise value.
