About the Opportunity
A global, family-owned manufacturer of industrial coating products is looking for a Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of a booming, high-performing Wisconsin territory and upper Michigan peninsula. This is a retirement backfill — the territory has already been built and is performing well — so the right person comes in with a strong foundation and the opportunity to grow it further.
This is a remote, work-from-home role with regular field travel within the territory. The company has been in business for over 80 years, operates globally, and has built a strong reputation for product quality and technical expertise. They are specifically looking for someone with a long-term mindset who wants to plant roots in a territory and own it for years to come.
This role is for someone already living in Wisconsin — Green Bay or Milwaukee area strongly preferred. Candidates outside of Wisconsin will not be considered.

- Traveling within the territory with overnight stays approximately every other week
- Providing technical service and product training to customers and their applicators
- Logging all customer interactions in CRM and managing monthly goals, budgets, and forecasting
- Entering data into SAP
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 3 years of outside B2B sales experience in a manufacturing environment
- Coatings industry experience strongly preferred — powder coatings, liquid paint, chemical pretreat, or equipment sales to powder coaters
- Comfortable calling on all levels including C-Suite and Plant/Engineering Management
- Self-managing and comfortable working remotely and on the road
- Long-term mindset — this company values tenure and relationship building over transactional selling
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel overnight within the territory
- Must be local to Wisconsin — Green Bay or Milwaukee area strongly preferred
Nice to Have

- Strong working knowledge of powder coatings or related industrial finishing products
- College degree preferred
