The Opportunity

You are not just looking for a job; you are looking for a platform to build your own book of business. At Chip 1 Exchange, we are a premier global hybrid distributor of electronic components. In a market defined by shortages and surpluses, we give you the ultimate advantage: Inventory.

We are looking for money-motivated “Hunters” to join our Irvine team. Powered by our proprietary MyChip1 intelligence platform, you’ll have instant insight into global supply health, real-time market availability, and pin-to-pin alternatives for any MPN or BOM. This smart system turns great salespeople into market experts, giving you the intelligence and speed to win deals before competitors even know they exist.

Why You Will Win at Chip 1

• Global Footprint: Tap into real-time inventory and market availability worldwide through our established hubs and warehouses across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
• No Ceiling: Our commission plan is uncapped. If you bring in the revenue, you get the reward.
• Speed: We operate with a trading-floor mentality. Decisions happen fast so you can capitalize on market fluctuations.
  
  

The Mission (Essential Functions)

• Hunt & Close: Prospect new business aggressively. You will be given leads, but your success will come from your ability to dig, cold call, and uncover new opportunities.
• Market Arbitrage: Use your diagnostic skills to identify supply chain gaps for customers and fill them using Chip 1’s global resources.
• Own the Relationship: Move beyond being a vendor to becoming a strategic partner. You will negotiate pricing, manage high-volume accounts, and ensure Chip 1 is their "First Call".
• Manage the Cycle: Monitor your active purchase orders and shipments in our XCRM to ensure on-time delivery and protect your pipeline.
• Global Collaboration: Work extended hours or evenings occasionally to facilitate communication with our overseas teams and close international deals.
