About the Opportunity
Our client, a well-established provider of water chemical feed systems, pumps, and related technologies, is looking for a Territory Sales Manager to grow their footprint across Northern Alabama and adjacent markets. This company has a strong reputation in the municipal space, delivering reliable solutions for water and wastewater treatment.
This is a high-impact, field-based role ideal for a sales professional with technical knowledge and experience selling into municipalities or public utilities. You’ll take ownership of a defined territory, work directly with key decision-makers at treatment facilities, and close complex deals with meaningful contract values.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and pursue municipal and industrial clients in the assigned territory
- Manage the full sales cycle from initial outreach to contract close (average 2–3 months)
- Present tailored product and system solutions to meet regulatory and operational needs
- Develop relationships with public works directors, utility managers, and engineers
- Maintain a healthy pipeline and work toward quarterly revenue targets
- Represent the company at regional events, tradeshows, and industry meetings
Requirements
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience selling to municipal water or wastewater treatment facilities
- Deep understanding of public sector procurement cycles and long sales processes
- Ability to manage a geographic territory and travel for on-site meetings as needed
- Technical background or familiarity with pumps, chemical feed systems, analyzers, or related systems
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Based in or familiar with Northern Alabama municipalities (especially north of Hwy 80)
Benefits
Compensation & Benefits
