Account Manager - Dealer Relationship Manager (Chicago)
This isn't a desk job. You'll be out in the field, building relationships with equipment dealers and restaurant operators, showing them how our client's innovative financing solutions can drive their sales and profits. If you're hungry for commissions, love the thrill of closing deals, and want unlimited earning potential, this is your shot. This role can be based anywhere in Chicagoland
Some of What You'll Do In The Role:
Build Your Book of Business
- Develop and own relationships with equipment dealers across your territory—they become your partners, and you become their go-to financing expert
- Hunt for new dealer partnerships using a boots-on-the-ground approach—this is face-to-face sales, not cold calling from a cubicle
- Train dealer sales teams on the flagship product (a 12-month rental-to-own solution that's the first of its kind in the U.S. market and well established in other countries)
- Work deals from start to finish, partnering with dealers to close financing transactions and hit your numbers
- Progress deals through our client's proprietary platform, collaborating with credit, funding, and operations teams to keep transactions moving
- Identify marketing opportunities that create wins for both your dealer partners and you
- Stay connected with your network through in-person meetings, calls, and emails—relationship-building is everything in this role
Experience:
- 2+ years in leasing or finance-related sales, OR
- 2+ years selling foodservice/hospitality equipment or related industry products
- Bachelor's degree preferred in Business Administration, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Economics, or Hospitality Management
- Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle
- Willingness to travel extensively, including overnight stays in and around your state and adjoining hub cities (where appropriate)
- Strong communication skills (you'll be presenting to dealer teams and business owners regularly)
Base Compensation : $70,000 salary
Monthly Commissions : Uncapped—the more you sell, the more you earn
Quarterly Bonuses : Performance-based payouts on top of your commissions
Car Allowance : Provided to support your territory coverage
Total Earning Potential : Six figures+ for top performers who execute
What Else You Get
- 4 weeks vacation (actually take time off and recharge)
- Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision)
- Company social events (your colleagues actually want to hang out)
- Growth-focused culture (this is a fast-growing company where you can advance quickly)
- Accredited BCorp (they actually care about doing business the right way)
- Casual dress code (save the suit for client meetings if you want to)
- Multi-year recipient of Top Employer Awards
Our client has been leading equipment financing for 30+ years across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Their flagship product lets restaurant operators rent equipment for 12 months, then decide if they want to keep it, swap it, or upgrade—it's the first solution of its kind in the market. You'll be selling a product that actually helps people, with technology that makes the financing process seamless. Plus, you're joining a team that sees you as a key player, not a number.
The Reality Check
This role requires hustle. You'll spend significant time on the road, building relationships market by market. You'll need to be comfortable with rejection, persistent in follow-up, and motivated by hitting aggressive targets. But if you're driven by results and energized by the challenge, you'll crush it—and get paid accordingly.
