We’re looking for a driven and relationship-focused Business Development Manager to lead growth across the Pacific Northwest territory (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana). This is a high-impact role centered on developing large, strategic accounts while serving as a trusted expert and partner to both customers and internal sales teams.
You’ll play a dual role as a hunter and a collaborator, driving new business while elevating the capabilities of territory reps through your expertise in MRO and Packaging solutions. Success in this role comes from a team-first mindset, strong commercial instincts, and the ability to build lasting partnerships at every level of an organization.
What You’ll Do
Strategic Growth & Big Account Development
- Identify, pursue, and win large, multi-site industrial accounts across manufacturing, distribution, and production sectors
- Build and execute a territory strategy focused on high-value MRO and Packaging opportunities
- Engage executive leadership, procurement teams, and plant operations to position full-scope solutions
- Deliver compelling ROI-driven proposals including cost savings, efficiency gains, and supply chain optimization
- Expand share of wallet within key accounts through consultative selling and long-term partnership development
Territory Leadership & Collaboration
- Act as the MRO & Packaging subject matter expert across the region
- Partner closely with territory sales reps to support complex opportunities and accelerate deal cycles
- Coach and collaborate with internal teams to elevate overall territory performance
- Work cross-functionally with suppliers, category specialists, and inside sales to deliver seamless customer solutions
Customer Relationships & Account Excellence
- Build strong, trust-based relationships from the plant floor to the C-suite
- Lead business reviews, performance tracking, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Ensure consistent execution across multi-location accounts
- Identify and implement value-added services such as VMI and storeroom solutions
Market & Product Expertise
- Maintain deep knowledge of MRO categories including fasteners, tools, safety, electrical, and more
- Stay current on packaging innovations, automation trends, and material optimization
- Monitor market dynamics including pricing, tariffs, and supply chain shifts
- Leverage supplier partnerships to bring best-in-class solutions to customers
What You Bring
- 3–5+ years of success in B2B industrial sales, ideally within MRO, Packaging, or distribution
- Proven ability to win and grow large, complex accounts
- Experience selling across both plant-level operations and corporate procurement
- Strong consultative selling skills with a focus on value creation
- A collaborative mindset with a genuine desire to help teammates and customers succeed
- Ability to navigate multi-site organizations and build relationships at all levels
- Proficiency with CRM tools and Microsoft Office (Excel strongly preferred)
- Willingness to travel throughout the Pacific Northwest (25–50%)
Why This Role Stands Out
- High visibility role with direct impact on major account growth
- Opportunity to shape strategy across a multi-state territory
- Strong team culture built on collaboration, support, and shared success
- Backed by a robust supplier network and internal expertise
If you're a relationship-driven sales pro with a hunter mentality and a passion for growing territory, we want to hear from you. Send your resume to bmcivor@talentsphere.ca if you are interested.
