    About The Company

    This is a culture-driven, PE-backed packaging and print company on a mission to scale from $50M to $150M in revenue over the next 3 years through both organic growth and acquisition. With best-in-class lead times, structural design capability, and full-service packaging solutions, the company is building a team of self-starting, high-performance sellers to lead the charge in new customer acquisition and regional market penetration.

    The Opportunity

    This is a rare opportunity to be an early member of a growing business unit focused on folding cartons and retail packaging. You'll own new business development from strategy to close, backed by world-class design, production, and speed-to-market capabilities. If you've built accounts from scratch in packaging, labels, or closely related verticals — and you're ready to grow your income and impact — this role is for you.

    What You'll Do

    New Business Development

    • Identify and acquire new folding carton and retail packaging clients
    • Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, solution development, quoting, and closing
    • Engage with emerging brands, R&D teams, and procurement to tailor packaging solutions

    Strategic Account Leadership

    • Serve as the point of contact for new accounts and lead post-sale growth
    • Coordinate with structural design and marketing teams to deliver winning presentations
    • Ensure flawless execution and client satisfaction through delivery

    Market Expansion & Intelligence

    • Target adjacent industries including labels, corrugated, and rigid packaging
    • Prospect in untapped regions and segments with high-growth potential
    • Feed market insights back to leadership to refine strategy and positioning

    What Success Looks Like

    • $1M in invoiced sales in Year 1 (stretch goal); minimum $250K from new accounts
    • 2–3 anchor accounts developed from scratch
    • Consistent pipeline activity and early wins within first 90–120 days

    You'd Be a Great Fit If You Have:

    • 4+ years of industrial or packaging sales experience
    • 2+ years of folding carton experience (strongly preferred)
    • Proven ability to hunt, close, and grow accounts from zero
    • Experience working in a small-to-midsize company environment
    • A "figure-it-out" mindset with high ownership and resourcefulness
    • Strong communication skills and ability to lead consultative client conversations

    Bonus Points For:

    • Experience at companies like Malnov, Rohrer, TGC Legacy, Marshall & Bruce, or Bellmark
    • Background in retail packaging, cosmetic or beverage packaging, or boutique print services
    • Understanding of structural design, product launches, and emerging brand dynamics
    • Military background with strong performance in private sector B2B roles

    Why Join Us

    • No red tape: high autonomy, direct access to leadership, and rapid decision-making
    • Huge market opportunity with best-in-class lead times and creative capabilities
    • Culture of trust, accountability, and performance — no bureaucracy, no nonsense
    • Room to scale your income dramatically as you build your book of business
