Job description

Architectural Glass Sales

View13 | Fleetwood & Kolbe Dealer


Do you see a wall of glass and think "opportunity," not "window"?

View13 is looking for someone who's genuinely obsessed with architectural glass — the sightlines, the engineering, the way a Fleetwood pocket door or a Kolbe curtain wall can completely transform a space — to own new business development for our premium window and door lines in the luxury residential construction market.

This isn't a role for someone who waits for leads. It's for someone who gets excited walking a job site, geeks out talking thermal performance and glazing systems with an architect, and treats every design office and build site as a chance to put more glass in the world.

If you thrive on autonomy, love the chase of a new deal, and want your income tied directly to your own hustle — and if "architectural glass" makes you lean in rather than zone out — this is your seat.


What You'll Own

  • Build Your Territory — Develop relationships with architects, builders, designers, developers, and luxury homeowners across your market. You decide who to pursue and how.
  • Create Opportunity Where None Existed — Research upcoming residential projects, get in front of design teams early, and turn cold leads into qualified pipeline.
  • Be the Face of a Premium Brand — Host lunch-and-learns, attend trade shows and industry events, and become the go-to expert on high-end fenestration and architectural glass systems.
  • Drive the Deal — Prospect daily, qualify opportunities, coordinate with estimating on proposals, and manage your pipeline like it's your own business.
  • Forge Strategic Alliances — Build partnerships with complementary trades and suppliers that generate long-term, repeat business.

You're a Fit If You:

  • Have a genuine passion for architectural glass, design, and premium building products — this shows up naturally in how you talk about the work
  • Get energized by new relationships and closing gaps competitors haven't found yet
  • Are comfortable being measured on results — new relationships built, pipeline created, deals closed
  • Prefer figuring out how to win over being told exactly what to do
  • Have a track record of building something — a territory, a book of business, a network — largely on your own initiative
  • Want a role where ambition and effort translate directly into visible wins
  • Love to network — this role requires attending after-hours and weekend events

What Success Looks Like

Your performance will be tracked (and rewarded) based on tangible, ambitious metrics: new builder and architect relationships, job site and office visits, lunch-and-learns delivered, qualified opportunities generated, pipeline dollar value, and new accounts opened. No ambiguity — just clear targets and the freedom to hit them your way.


What We Offer

  • Representation of premium, in-demand brands (Fleetwood, Kolbe) in a growing luxury market
  • Autonomy to build and run your book of business
  • A company that rewards initiative and results, not just tenure
  • Support from an operations and estimating team so you can focus on selling and relationship-building
  • Base pay $60,000–$80,000 plus commission = $80,000–$180,000 expected total compensation


At View13, We Live a HIGHER Standard

  • Here to Serve – We put our customers, partners, and teammates first, creating an exceptional experience from the first conversation to the final installation.
  • Integrity – We do the right thing, communicate honestly, and build trust that lasts.
  • Growth Mindset – We are always learning, improving, and looking for better ways to serve the luxury building community.
  • Hard Work, Hard Play – We work with intensity, celebrate our wins, and enjoy building something meaningful together.
  • Elite Performance – Good isn't good enough. We set ambitious goals, measure results, and hold ourselves to a higher standard.
  • Respect – We value every relationship, treat people professionally, and recognize that our reputation is built one interaction at a time.

Ready to build your own success story? Apply now and tell us: what's the most beautiful (or most technically impressive) piece of architectural glass you've ever worked with, sold, or specified — and why did it stick with you?
