Sr Director, Sales

Position Summary

EG4 Electronics is hiring a senior commercial leader to own revenue and channel performance across the business. Channel is central to how EG4 reaches the market, and this role sets the strategy behind it — partner tiering, incentive programs that protect channel economics, clear rules of engagement when routes overlap, and a multi-year roadmap for where the channel grows next. The leader runs four teams (inside sales, regional sales, business development, and technical account management), owns the annual sales plan and pipeline rigor, and is EG4's senior commercial face in the market — representing the brand at SEIA, RE , and distributor meetings, maintaining relationships with key distributor principals and buying groups, and partnering with Product and Technical Account Management so the field can fluently articulate EG4's product depth as a competitive differentiator throughout the sales cycle. This is a product sales role — success is measured by revenue, units sold, and account growth, not service delivery metrics.
