Job Description

Join a stable, mid-sized manufacturing company with a long-standing reputation for excellence, close-knit culture, and tenured leadership. This is a rare opportunity to step into an executive-level role where your voice will directly shape the future of the business. As Chief Revenue Officer, you’ll report directly to the owner and serve as a key strategic leader driving growth, brand direction, and market expansion.

This company isn’t chasing quarterly fads — it’s built for the long haul, with deep industry relationships, a strong product reputation, and a culture that values loyalty, collaboration, and smart growth. If you’re seeking an executive seat at the table with real influence, this is it.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Stability: Privately held company with decades of success and low turnover
  • Culture: Collaborative, loyal team with a “roll up your sleeves” mindset
  • Influence: Executive role with a seat at the table — report directly to the owner
  • Impact: Lead the charge on strategic growth and brand evolution
  • Balance: A results-driven environment that also values work-life stability
  • Salary: $220-250k base
  • Benefits: Blue Cross Blue Shield

Key Responsibilities:

  • Set and execute the overall sales and marketing strategy in alignment with business goals
  • Lead and mentor a team of sales and marketing professionals across multiple channels
  • Expand market share and drive revenue growth through proactive pipeline development and customer retention
  • Oversee branding, communications, and product positioning strategies
  • Analyze market trends, customer insights, and competitor activity to inform decisions
  • Collaborate closely with operations and product teams to ensure alignment between demand and delivery
  • Establish KPIs and implement metrics to measure team and campaign performance
  • Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, and with key customer accounts
  • Participate in strategic planning conversations at the executive level, working directly with the ownership team

✅ Qualifications:

  • Proven track record in senior sales and marketing leadership within a manufacturing or industrial B2B environment
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in sales, marketing, or business development
  • Strong leadership skills with a collaborative, team-first approach
  • Ability to analyze data, trends, and markets to build forward-looking strategies
  • Excellent communication and executive presence — comfortable reporting to and advising company ownership
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field (MBA preferred)
  • This position has been filled
