Are you a driven sales/account management professional with experience in plastics or injection molding?

Ready to inherit a well‑established portfolio, maximize your earnings, and help shape the future of a leading, private equity‑backed player in the industry?

About the Role: My client is a major plastics injection molding business ($75–80M revenue) recognized for their flexibility, technical breadth (thermoplastic, thermoset, two-shot, overmolding, and secondary operations), and direct connections to senior leadership. With a motivated and supportive team, my client offers both the agility of a smaller organization and the impact of a market leader—backed by private equity and primed for significant growth (and a potential sale in 2–3 years).

Enjoy a strong support system, including a comprehensive handover from a departing account manager and access to in‑house/rep‑group resources

Work independently and remotely, with periodic, fully expensed travel to clients and manufacturing facilities

Base salary range: $120,000–$125,000 (DOE), plus realistic $30,000–$40,000 annual commission (total earnings: $150,000–$160,000+)

Commission structure: 25% paid at award, 75% on production—enabling fast earning potential, especially with takeover business

Full employee benefits package (401K, health, annual bonus eligibility tied to company performance)

Immediate, ready‑made pipeline and a collaborative team of approx. 10–11 professionals

What You’ll Bring:

Minimum 5 years experience in plastics/injection molding sales or account management (automotive, lawn/garden, industrial, renewable, or medical markets strongly preferred)

Proven ability to manage and grow major accounts while driving substantial new business

Technical proficiency to converse with engineers, review cost breakdowns, and oversee the sales process independently

Highly self‑driven, results‑oriented, and comfortable working in a remote set‑up
