High-Tech Sealing Solutions Reports to CEO We are looking for a builder — a sales and marketing leader who has navigated company transitions, built commercial teams from the ground up, and understands how to protect legacy relationships while simultaneously creating and selling a new product in a fast-moving market. If that description fits how you think about sales and marketing leadership, keep reading. THE COMPANY A 45-year-old, approximately 100-person value-added manufacturer and distributor of high-tech sealing solutions headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. We serve demanding, highly technical markets. What we don’t yet have is the fully built commercial infrastructure to match our ambitions. That’s what this role is about. THE ROLE You will own all sales and marketing activity and be responsible for its success. You’ll be expected to: • Grow revenue with existing customers while protecting the relationships that built this company • Lead and coach the current sales and marketing teams — set expectations, develop people, meet our revenue and profit goals • Build the pipeline and land new customers • Expand our footprint into new accounts and geographies • Establish the commercial systems — forecasting, CRM discipline, account planning — that a scaling team requires • Develop your replacement, so you’re ready to step into a broader role in the future Success in this role is defined by the following objectives: deliver results, develop your replacement, and step into a more senior position as the organization you’ve built earns it. The Director of Sales & Marketing title exists in our org chart. Your job is to make the company ready for you to fill it. WHO YOU’LL WORK FOR You will report directly to the CEO. I’ve worked closely with him for the past nine months. He’s smart, thoughtful, honest, and kind — a person you will genuinely enjoy working with. He gives the people who report to him room to run and holds them to real standards. This combination is rare. Don’t take it for granted. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR You have direct experience selling high-tech components into one or more of the following: • Data centers and hyperscale infrastructure • Semiconductor capital equipment and fab operations • Life sciences and medical devices Beyond the technical markets, you bring: • A track record of building — not just inheriting — commercial teams and customer bases • The ability to sell at the engineering, executive and procurement levels simultaneously • Comfort navigating a company in transition, where not everything is figured out yet • Peer-level credibility with technical buyers — you earn trust by knowing the applications, not by reading from a slide COMPENSATION Base Salary: $180,000 to $195,000 +Bonus/Commission: Very generous, aligned with results Career Path: Early promotion to Director of Sales & Marketing HOW TO APPLY If you’re the builder we’re describing, we’d like to hear from you.
