This is a hybrid role designed for both flexibility and connection. While remote work is supported, the position requires a consistent on-site presence at our Kalamazoo, MI headquarters, particularly from April through October, when customer visits and in-person collaboration are at their peak.

In this role, you'll manage multiple active opportunities at once, ensuring timely follow-up, clear communication, and alignment across all stakeholders. Success comes from being proactive, organized, and confident in navigating both client needs and internal processes to help win business.
