Job Description

🚨 Stop scrolling if you’ve sold into Aerospace & Defense

Most “sales leadership” roles are just dashboards and internal meetings.

This isn’t that.

We’re hiring an Industrial Sales & Marketing Manager to drive real revenue growth in a technical, industrial environment—with a strong focus on Aerospace & Defense customers.

If you’ve sold into OEMs, defense contractors, or complex manufacturing environments… keep reading.

What you’ll actually do:

• Own and drive sales strategy targeting A&D + industrial markets
• Lead business development + key accounts (not just manage a team)
• Align marketing with real revenue (not fluff campaigns)
• Build and mentor a high-performing, accountable sales team
• Work cross-functionally to win and execute on complex opportunities

What makes this different:

• You’re not inheriting a broken team — you’re building and scaling
• Real backing from leadership to grow market share
• Strong product/service offering already in place
• Direct impact on revenue (not buried in layers)

What we’re looking for:

• Experience selling into Aerospace, Defense, or highly technical industrial markets
• Proven track record in B2B sales leadership or high-level individual contribution
• Someone who understands long sales cycles + complex deals
• Ability to think strategically AND execute

Comp + Perks:

• Competitive base + performance upside
• Full benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO)
• Growth runway as the company expands
