Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and knowledgeable Architectural Specification Representative to build strong relationships with architects, designers, engineers, and specifiers throughout the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic District, Western Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania/Maryland territories. This role will increase product awareness and secure specifications focusing on Stylecraft and our family of branded products, including Chase, Eliason, and HMF Express.
This position plays a critical role in driving revenue growth by ensuring our products are included in the design and specification phases of commercial construction projects.
Is This a Sales Role?
Yes. This position is best described as a Specification Sales / Business Development role within the commercial building products industry.
While the position may not be responsible for directly closing sales transactions, it is responsible for influencing the specification process, creating demand, building relationships with architects and designers, and driving revenue growth by ensuring products are designed into projects before they reach the bid stage.
Why This Is Considered a Sales Role
The primary objective of this role is to:
Build relationships with architects, designers, engineers, and specifiers.
Create demand for Stylecraft, Chase, Eliason, and HMF Express products.
Conduct lunch-and-learn presentations and educational events.
Prospect architecture and design firms throughout the assigned territory.
Influence product selection during the design phase.
Secure product specifications that ultimately drive sales opportunities.
Partner with Territory Managers and distributor partners to maintain specifications through the bidding process.
Support revenue growth through specification activity and market development.
Develop new relationships and expand existing relationships within the A&D community.
Travel throughout assigned territories to meet customers and industry stakeholders.
How It Differs from Traditional Sales Roles
Unlike a traditional Territory Sales Representative or Account Executive role, this position:
Does not primarily focus on quoting and closing orders.
Works with influencers and decision-makers rather than end purchasers.
Has a longer sales cycle, often lasting months or years as projects move through design, specification, bid, and construction phases.
Focuses on creating opportunities and specifications that later convert into sales through distributors and sales teams.
