Primary Duties and Responsibilities:

Sales Development (Inbound & Outbound)

• Build the Inbound motion: rapid speed-to-lead on qualified web, eCommerce, and Request for Quote inquiries; consistent qualification criteria; clean handoff to Channel Partners.

eCommerce

• Lead the launch and operation of the hybrid eCommerce route to market: RFQ path for engineered solutions and checkout path for standard products and spares.

• Own eCommerce logic, pricing rules, and merchandising.

• Drive adoption, conversion, and customer experience performance as measurable business outcomes - notvanity metrics.

• Deliver the targeted $3M-$5M of accretive revenue, with a clear Quad 3 focus.

Digital

• Own product data quality, attribute governance, and media workflows that feed every customer-facingsurface.

• Partner with Corporate teams on platform, architecture, and integration.

• Use AI deliberately in sizing, selection, content generation, and lifecycle communication to move from 1:1 to1:many.

Team & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead a team across all four pillars; recruit, develop, and retain talent that can scale the function without scaling headcount linearly.

• Embed governance: clear ownership, decision rights, and metrics across intake, content, campaigns, and the funnel.

• Work with Commercial / Channel on handoffs, flow, and metrics from interest quote order fulfillment.

Education and/or Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience required.

• Hands-on experience launching or scaling B2B eCommerce - ideally a hybrid RFQ + checkout model withchannel-partner alignment.

• Strong grasp of product-marketing, including positioning, packaging, and sales enablement for tiered offerings.

• Understanding of web properties, SEO/SEM, and content operations as measurable revenue drivers.

Other Special Requirements:

• Commercially literate - comfortable owning a revenue number, not just an activity number.

• Analytical - fluent with funnel math, attribution, cohort behavior, SDR unit economics, and the economics of demand.

• Systems-minded - you design for repeatability, governance, and 1:many leverage rather than 1:1 heroics.

• Operator's instinct - you ship, measure, and iterate; you don't wait for perfect.

• Strong partner - credible with Sales, Application Engineering, Operations, and IT; builds trust quickly.

• People leader - attracts talent, sets clear expectations, and develops the next layer of leaders.
