REGIONAL SALES MANAGER Remote – Based in or near St. Louis, MO (within 100-mile radius)
ABOUT THE COMPANY

Our client is a globally recognized leader in automated lubrication systems with a strong reputation for high-quality, customized solutions. With roots in Europe and a growing footprint across the United States, the company serves industrial clients across multiple sectors – from heavy manufacturing to power generation – by offering innovative and reliable single- and multi-point lubrication solutions that reduce downtime and improve equipment performance.

THE ROLE
We are seeking a driven and hands-on Regional Sales Manager to oversee and grow a multi-million dollar territory including Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both the strategic and tactical aspects of sales – partnering with distributors while also staying close to the end-user to generate demand and close deals. This is a remote position with about 50% travel. The preferred home base is St. Louis, MO, or surrounding areas (within a 100-mile radius).

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Manage and grow revenue across the region by supporting distributor partners and building strong relationships with end-users.
Work alongside distributor reps and independent reps to conduct joint sales calls, perform product demos, and provide training.
Build preference for the company’s lubrication solutions at the end-user level to drive sales through distribution.
Act as a trusted advisor and technical resource for distribution teams – ensuring they are equipped, trained, and motivated to sell effectively.
Monitor market trends, customer needs, and competitor activity to inform regional strategy.
Maintain accurate CRM records, report on KPIs, and contribute to forecasting.

QUALIFICATIONS

Proven experience in industrial B2B sales, ideally within the MRO segment or selling mechanical equipment components.
Experience working for manufacturers, or a hybrid background including both distribution and manufacturing.
Background in lubrication or related product areas is a plus: bearings, drives, gears, power transmission, filtration, abrasives, etc.
A consultative sales approach with strong technical aptitude.
Ability to work independently while managing a regional territory.
A strong hunter-mentality.
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, or related field – or equivalent professional experience.
