Sales Manager - Metal Stamping

📍 Providence, Rhode Island 💰 $130,000 - $170,000 🏢 Full Time
**About This Opportunity**
For 50 years, this Providence-based metal stamping leader has quietly built a reputation for precision, reliability, and innovation. Now, they’re entering their next chapter of growth—and they need a Sales Manager who can architect that future. This isn’t just a sales role; it’s a seat at the leadership table where you’ll shape strategy, lead a cross-functional team, and drive real expansion. If you’ve got the technical chops to understand metal stamping and the commercial instincts to close complex deals, this is your chance to leave a mark on a half-century legacy.

**What You’ll Do**
You’ll join the site leadership team and help steer the company’s strategic direction. Your first priority? Build a sales plan that aligns with the company’s manufacturing strengths—then execute it. You’ll lead both internal and external teams (sales and engineering) to identify opportunities that fit like a glove, not just any deal. You’ll be the bridge between what the shop floor can deliver and what the market needs.

- Develop and own the strategic sales plan, working hand-in-hand with the management team
- Lead a team of sales and engineering professionals, setting targets and removing roadblocks
- Identify and pursue opportunities in metal stamping that match the company’s capabilities
- Manage risk and accountability—this isn’t a figurehead role; you’ll own results
- Participate in long-range planning, from capacity investments to market expansion

**What You Bring**
You’re not just a salesperson; you’re a technical problem-solver with a manager’s mindset. You understand metal stamping deeply enough to spot a good fit before the engineers even run the numbers. You’ve led teams through growth phases and know how to balance ambition with operational reality.

- **Education:** B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, B.A. in Business, or a related degree
- **Experience:** 5+ years of management experience, with at least 2 years in a risk management or similarly accountable role
- **Sales expertise:** 5–7 years of technical sales or sales management experience
- **Industry knowledge:** Solid grasp of metal stamping—you can talk tooling, tonnage, and tolerances with confidence
- **Leadership style:** Collaborative but decisive; you know when to push and when to listen

**Why This Role?**
You’ll earn between **$130,000 and $170,000 per year**, with the kind of autonomy that comes from being a key decision-maker. You’ll work in Providence, Rhode Island—a city with a rich manufacturing history and a lower cost of living than Boston or NYC. And you’ll be part of a company that values stability (50 years and counting) but isn’t afraid to evolve.
