About This Role
As an Inside Sales Representative, you will be the primary commercial liaison for OEM and distributor accounts, managing quotes, pricing, and order coordination across cross-functional teams.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, technical sales environment and enjoys building relationships while navigating complex supply chains.

You’ll spend time preparing pricing updates for Regional Sales Managers, reviewing bookings and revenue reports, and participating in cross-functional calls with planning and quality teams to resolve delivery issues. The day ends with updating opportunity records and following up with customers on pending proposals.
