Inside Sales & Sales Operations Specialist – Technical / Electronics OEMs

Your Voice Will Matter Here

We are not looking for someone to simply follow a playbook. We want someone who will bring ideas, challenge how things are done, and help us get better. This role has visibility with sales leadership and real influence on how we improve follow-up, opportunity management, and internal sales processes. If you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it — and we expect you to help shape it.

About the Role

Johnson Company is hiring an Inside Sales & Sales Operations Specialist to play a meaningful, hands‑on role in supporting growth across medical, industrial, commercial vehicle, and mil‑aero OEM customers.

This is a high‑visibility, growth‑oriented position supporting outside sales, manufacturer partners, and active customer opportunities. It is well suited for someone early in their sales career who wants to go beyond order support — or a mid‑career professional who enjoys owning follow‑up, organization, and execution in a technical sales environment.

You will be directly involved in moving opportunities forward, maintaining strong CRM discipline, supporting manufacturer relationships, and helping turn daily sales activity into real momentum and design wins.

·      Are comfortable working with technical or engineered products

·      Want exposure to OEM customers, outside sales, and manufacturer partners

·      Are interested in building a long‑term careers in sales, sales operations, or commercial leadership

This role is likely NOT a fit if you:

·      Are seeking a fully remote position

·      Prefer purely transactional or order‑entry work

·      Dislike follow‑up accountability, CRM systems, or structured sales processes

·      Support growth initiatives tied to key supplier relationships

·      Help ensure Johnson Company delivers strong inside support to the manufacturers we represent

Sales Support & Coordination

·      Assist with quotes, samples, part‑number cross‑references, and documentation

·      Connect customers and sales with technical or application resources when needed

·      Help keep internal and external sales actions organized and moving forward

Qualifications
