  • Proposal Development: Prepare accurate and compelling quotes, bids, and presentations in collaboration with design and estimating teams.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams—designers, project managers, logistics, and customer service—to ensure accurate fulfillment and successful project delivery.

  • Client Support: Provide ongoing support and post-sale service to government clients, ensuring satisfaction and encouraging repeat business.

  • Market Awareness: Stay informed on government purchasing processes, procurement trends, and competitive activity in the commercial kitchen space.

    • Experience in selling commercial kitchen equipment or capital goods preferred.

    • Familiarity with the foodservice or construction industries is a strong plus.

    • Experience working with government agencies or navigating public procurement processes is highly desirable.

  • Sales Skills:

    • Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building abilities.

    • Ability to manage long sales cycles and understand technical requirements and bid documents.

  • Travel:

    • Willingness to travel for site visits, presentations, and industry events as needed.
