Employment Type: Full-Time
POSITION SUMMARY

Drytech Inc. is seeking an organized, responsive, and customer-focused Inside Sales Support Specialist to support the company's aerospace, defense, and commercial sales activities.
This position will provide inside sales support for both Drytech's aerospace and defense business and the ZeoZorb commercial product line.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The ideal Inside Sales Support Specialist is someone who takes ownership of the customer from inquiry through delivery.
We are looking for someone who is:

• Responsive – customers should not have to repeatedly ask for an answer.
• Persistent – an unanswered quotation is an opportunity that still requires follow-up.
• Organized – dozens of open quotes, orders, and customer requests can be active at the same time.
• Accurate – part numbers, quantities, pricing, and delivery dates matter.
• Customer-focused – understands that responsiveness and communication are part of the product we sell.
• Technically curious – wants to understand what our products do and why a customer needs them.
• Comfortable asking questions – knows when to involve Engineering, Quality, Production, or Sales rather than guessing.
• Professional – communicates confidently with everyone from purchasing personnel and maintenance technicians to engineers and executives.
• Proactive – does not wait for a customer, salesperson, or manager to ask for the next step.
• Accountable – if you tell a customer you will get them an answer, you make sure they get that answer.

At Drytech, Inside Sales is an important part of the sales process. This position helps convert opportunities into orders, keeps existing customers coming back, and ensures that both Drytech and ZeoZorb customers receive the responsiveness and technical support expected from a high-performance manufacturing organization.
