Territory Sales Manager

The Territory Sales Manager will work closely with sales leadership and internal AFC teams to ensure customer requirements are understood, communicated, and executed effectively.

The ideal candidate will have experience working with manufacturing or industrial customers and an understanding of inventory programs, supply chain, and manufactured or engineered products .

Conduct regular customer visits and inventory/business reviews.

Identify customer needs, service issues, new opportunities, and potential risks and coordinate the appropriate internal response.

Work with customer purchasing, supply chain, operations, and engineering teams to understand requirements and coordinate solutions.

Support quoting, pricing discussions, new product opportunities, and customer projects.

Coordinate internally with manufacturing, sourcing, quality, operations, customer service, and sales leadership.

Support new program and product launches by coordinating customer requirements, timing, inventory needs, and internal execution.

Identify opportunities for VMI expansion, kitting, consolidation, inventory optimization, and additional product penetration .

Assist with commercial agreements, pricing reviews, and contract discussions in partnership with sales leadership.

Maintain visibility to customer projects, upcoming demand, operational changes, and potential growth opportunities.

Travel regularly between customer facilities and AFC locations within the assigned territory.

Ideal Background

The ideal candidate will have experience in industrial sales, account management, manufacturing, industrial distribution, supply chain, or a related customer-facing role .

Experience with some combination of the following is preferred:

Multi-site account management

Supply-chain and inventory concepts

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who is customer-focused, commercially capable, organized, and operationally aware .

The successful candidate should be comfortable spending time inside customer manufacturing facilities, building relationships across multiple functions, reviewing inventory and business requirements, identifying opportunities, and coordinating solutions internally.

They should be able to recognize when an issue requires additional technical, manufacturing, or commercial support and effectively engage the appropriate resources rather than being expected to independently solve every aspect of the customer's operation.

This position offers the opportunity to develop deeper expertise in engineered products, manufacturing, supply chain, and strategic account management while working closely with sales leadership and AFC's operational teams.
