    • Strong background in construction, building products, or roofing, with experience in complex, multi-stakeholder sales environments.
    • Demonstrated success building relationships with owners, specifiers, and executive decision-makers.
    • Willingness and ability to travel extensively (approximately 70%).
  • Preferred:
    • Experience working directly with general contractors and design-build firms on commercial or industrial construction projects.
