Account Manager US remote

A fast-growing, privately-held independent electronic component distributor and lifecycle specialist. The business sources and sells hard-to-find, excess, and End-of-Life components, supports OEM/EMS and data-center customers, and operates a global trading and remarketing network. The team is entrepreneurial, target-driven, and highly collaborative across sourcing, operations and logistics.

Why this role matters

You will be the commercial owner for a defined US territory and a portfolio of OEM/EMS and systems integrator accounts. This is a high-impact role for a trader/sales leader who can both hunt (open new accounts & source inventory) and farm (grow existing customers), negotiate complex deals, and execute quickly in shortage/excess market conditions. Ideal for candidates who enjoy high transaction velocity, relationship selling, and seeing immediate commercial results.

Key responsibilities

• Own a portfolio of enterprise and EMS accounts across your territory; act as the primary commercial contact.
• Source and procure electronic components (semiconductors, memory, storage, networking parts, connectors, etc.) from authorised, secondary, and broker channels.
• Identify arbitrage and remarketing opportunities — buy excess and resell to meet customer requirements while protecting margin.
• Execute end-to-end deals: pricing, quotation, negotiation, purchase orders, coordination with operations and logistics for fulfilment.
• Deliver accurate forecasts, pipeline reporting and hit monthly/quarterly GP targets.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with procurement, engineering, and supply chain stakeholders at OEMs, EMS providers and system integrators.
• Work closely with global sourcing and quality teams to validate parts, ensure traceability and mitigate counterfeit risk.
• Keep market intelligence current — pricing, lead times, obsolescence, new product introductions — and translate insights into customer proposals.
• Occasionally travel for on-site customer meetings, inventory inspections, and trade events.
