Advanced Coatings Sales Manager

Are you ready to take the next step in your sales career with a company where your work truly makes an impact? We’re partnering with a long-established, family-owned coatings manufacturer that specializes in advanced liquid spray processes, surface finishing, and high-performance coatings. With more than 50 years of expertise and a modern, 80,000 sq ft facility, this team delivers precision results across industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to defense and specialty manufacturing.

• Partner closely with operations, engineering, and production to ensure customer needs align with technical capabilities such as Cerakote, UV coatings, custom color matching, and more.
• Provide market insights, forecasting, and regular sales reporting to leadership.
• Serve as a trusted advisor, strengthening customer relationships and securing repeat business.

• 3–7 years of B2B sales experience in coatings, surface finishing, manufacturing, or a related technical field.
• Understanding of industrial spray-coating processes or experience selling into manufacturing environments.
• Proven ability to independently build and manage a sales pipeline.
• Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
• A self-starter mindset and comfort working in a small, collaborative, family-run operation.
• Willingness to travel for customer visits and trade shows.

• You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with ownership, gaining direct mentorship and real influence over pricing strategy, commercial direction, and process improvements.
• The environment is agile, collaborative, and hands-on—perfect for someone who wants autonomy paired with strong leadership support.
• You’ll gain exposure across a wide range of coating technologies and industries, deepening your technical and commercial experience.
• Your contributions will have a clear, immediate impact on company growth and customer satisfaction.
