  • Proficiency in CRM systems (preferably Microsoft Dynamics) and MS Office
  • Understanding of market segmentation, sales forecasting, and performance tracking
  • Comfortable interacting with engineers and production managers
  • Must be an Italian native speaker or bilingual with 10–15 years of experience in the U.S. industrial market
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. (Green Card or citizenship preferred; candidates with transferable visa also considered)
  • Comfortable travelling up to 50% of the time domestically and internationally..

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Annual Bonus: Up to 25% (Year 1: 60% individual performance / 40% company results; Year 2: inverted ratio)
  • 401(k) with 3% company match.
  • Health Insurance
