Senior Business Development Manager

Who We Are

We’re On a Mission

At IPC, we don't just manufacture pallets - we build teams, communities, and partnerships that last. Our mission is simple: to be the* TEAM of CHOICE* for our PEOPLE and PARTNER of CHOICE for our* CUSTOMERS*. We are driven by operational excellence, safety, and the belief that strong leadership and strong culture go hand-in-hand.

About The Role

This is not an entry-level sales role.

We’re looking for a proven Business Development Manager with a track record of success in industrial B2B sales—someone who knows how to navigate complex buying environments, build long-term partnerships, and consistently win new business.

This role requires a minimum of 3 years of industrial or manufacturing B2B sales experience. Candidates without this background will not be considered.

What You'll Do

• Own and grow a multi-state territory (IN, OH, KY)
• Identify, pursue, and close new business within industrial and manufacturing accounts
• Build long-term partnerships with operations, supply chain, and procurement leaders
• Manage a structured pipeline and maintain accurate CRM activity
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver custom packaging and logistics solutions
• Drive revenue growth through both new business and account expansion

• Experience selling into operations, supply chain, or plant-level decision makers
• Strong territory management and pipeline discipline
  

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in corrugated, packaging, pallets, or industrial materials
• Background in high-volume or repeat-use products (not one-time project sales)
  

What Sets You Apart

• You bring credibility in an industrial environment—you’ve sold to plants, not just offices
• You’re comfortable walking into a plant, asking questions, and earning trust quickly
• You’re comfortable in steel toes or a boardroom
• You follow through, stay organized, and don’t need to be managed to perform
• You don’t wait for leads—you create them
  

Why Join Us

• Stable, growing company with long-term opportunity
• Training and development to help you succeed
• A team culture focused on respect, accountability, and shared purpose
• Company truck, all expenses paid
• Salaried Position Profit Sharing

Our Values

We Believe Great Teams Are Built On

• Clear and honest communication
• Respect for people at every level
