The Inside Sales - National USA & Canada role is a high-impact, dual-function position that drives new business across the United States and Canada. Operating at an approximate 50/50 split, it combines proactive outbound lead generation with disciplined bid research and market intelligence-ensuring both a steady pipeline of qualified prospects and a continuous stream of competitively identified bid and tender opportunities.

In the lead generation function, this individual runs targeted outbound campaigns, qualifies opportunities, and passes warm, sales-ready leads to regional Storage Sales Managers so field teams can focus on closing. In the bid intelligence function, this individual monitors procurement and bid platforms (e.g., Bloomberg Government/BGOV, SAM.gov, and Merx) to uncover new public- and private-sector opportunities across North America and keep Hamilton Storage positioned to compete.

This role suits a self-motivated, organized, and commercially astute professional with strong communication skills and a hunter mentality. Reporting initially to the VP Sales and Marketing (subject to organizational changes), the position is foundational to building and sustaining Hamilton Storage's North American commercial pipeline.
