G G Partnership Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Regional Sales Manager

G&G Industrial Lighting is the leading American manufacturer of harsh-environment LED lighting and controls, headquartered in Malta, NY. Recently recognized as the fastest-growing manufacturer in New York State and the most innovative company in the Capital Region, G&G engineers purpose-built lighting solutions for the car wash, food processing, mass transit, and industrial markets. Our growth is driven by relentless innovation, long-term partnerships, and doing business in alignment with our core values.

As Regional Sales Manager, you will drive revenue growth across G&G's core go-to-market channels-OEM partners, distributor networks, and strategic end-user accounts. This is not a traditional territory sales role; it is a channel-led role where success is defined by your ability to grow revenue through partners as well as direct engagement.

You will serve as the primary field resource for key OEM partnerships, enabling their sales teams to position and sell G&G's lighting platforms, while revitalizing and expanding an underperforming distributor network with significant untapped potential. You will also support select high-value end-user opportunities where G&G's consultative approach drives measurable ROI.

The ideal candidate brings experience in channel-driven sales within an industrial or manufacturing environment and is comfortable operating across multiple selling motions-from partner business planning and co-selling with distributors to direct engagement with multi-site operators.

Who will I report to? Director of Sales, Car Wash
