Executive Technical Reviewer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

BE THE ONE TO HELP US GROW

Position Overview

REPCO is seeking an elite, top-performing Strategic Technical Sales Executive to accelerate revenue growth, expand market share, and establish REPCO as the preferred innovation partner across North America's commercial and industrial bakery industry. This role is designed for a rare combination of two critical sales capabilities:

(1) Hunter Mentality:

A relentless business developer who thrives on identifying, pursuing, and winning new opportunities. Someone who enjoys opening doors, displacing competitors, creating demand, and building relationships where none previously existed.

(2) Relationship Management Expert:

A trusted advisor who develops deep, multi-level relationships across customer organizations, earns executive confidence, and expands strategic partnerships into long-term, high-value business relationships.

The ideal candidate understands that sustainable growth requires both aggressive new business acquisition and exceptional relationship stewardship. They possess the discipline to prospect daily, the confidence to engage executive leadership, and the technical expertise to become a valued extension of their customers' teams.

This is a high-accountability role with direct ownership of revenue growth, volume growth, market expansion, customer retention, and strategic account development.

Success requires an individual who can:

• Consistently uncover and win new business opportunities
• Build relationships from the plant floor to the boardroom
• Develop executive-level partnerships with C-suite decision-makers
• Convert technical challenges into commercial opportunities
• Expand customer share-of-wallet through innovation and value creation
• Position REPCO as a mission-critical strategic partner rather than a supplier
• Drive long-term customer loyalty while aggressively growing market share

This is not an account maintenance role. It is a growth leadership role for someone who is energized by competition, thrives on creating opportunities, and understands how to build lasting partnerships that generate measurable business results.
