Inside Sales 

This privately held industrial-supply partner pioneers turnkey inventory programs for mission-critical fasteners and consumables, ensuring that factories nationwide keep running without interruption. As they expand their regional service hubs, they need a detail-oriented problem-solver to act as the “air-traffic controller” between customers, warehouses, and suppliers. If you thrive on juggling data, coordinating cross-functional teams, and making sure production lines never stop, this role will put you at the center of the action - while opening doors to rapid career growth in a $20-billion-plus organization. 

Why Join?

• Collaborative teams, robust training programs, and leaders who invest in your success. 
• Competitive base salary, quarterly bonus potential, and comprehensive benefits. 

What You’ll Do 

• Own the order-to-delivery cycle - monitor demand signals in SAP, enter/adjust orders, and coordinate shipments to meet strict customer KPIs. 
• Analyze customer prints, build cost models in Excel, and issue accurate, profitable quotations. 
• Expedite shortages, investigate discrepancies, and drive resolutions across inventory, logistics, and quality teams. 
• Maintain contract pricing, shipping terms, and CRM details; generate reports that highlight trends, risks, and improvement ideas. 
• Present cost-savings ideas, refine VMI/Kanban bin setups, and participate in quarterly business reviews. 
• Serve as the primary internal contact for a portfolio of regional manufacturing accounts - earning “trusted advisor” status through prompt, professional support.
