Our team includes long-tenured professionals who have chosen to build their careers with us, and we are looking for a strategic leader ready to do the same.

The Opportunity: Market Leadership in the "Silicon Desert"

Phoenix is booming. With the massive influx of semiconductor giants (TSMC, Intel), aerospace leaders, and the EV supply chain, the Greater Phoenix area has become the hottest manufacturing market in the country.

We are seeking a Phoenix-based Senior Sales Manager to anchor and expand our footprint in this region. This is a "Player-Coach" caliber role for a high-performing hunter who is ready to own the strategy for the Phoenix market and nearby West Coast territories.

You won't just be filling orders; you will be defining our market strategy, securing partnership-level agreements with major manufacturers, and operating with full autonomy.

Your Responsibilities

• Strategic Territory Development: Own the P&L mindset for the Phoenix/West Coast territory. Develop a comprehensive sales strategy to penetrate high-volume accounts in Semiconductor, Aerospace, and Advanced Manufacturing.
• High-Level Hunting: Target and close complex, high-value staffing agreements. Move beyond transactional sales to secure primary vendor status and exclusivity agreements.
• Full Cycle Ownership: Manage the complete sales cycle from initial C-level outreach through contract negotiation, master service agreement (MSA) review, and implementation.
• Tech-Enabled Sales: Leverage our tech stack (Apollo, HubSpot, Sales Navigator, Loxo, Instantly) to automate outreach and manage a high-velocity pipeline.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with the recruiting leadership to forecast demand, ensure delivery on difficult requisitions, and maintain high client satisfaction.
• Market Intelligence: Act as the "eyes on the ground" in Phoenix by attending key industry networking events and staying ahead of market trends to guide Pave Talent’s growth.

• Strategic Mindset: Experience negotiating MSAs, responding to RFPs, and selling to C-Suite executives (VP of Ops, CHRO, Plant Directors).
• Hunter DNA: You are still a closer at heart. You prefer being in the field winning business over sitting in meetings.

Highly Preferred:

• Local Authority: A robust rolodex of manufacturing decision-makers in the Phoenix Valley and West Coast.
• Vertical Expertise: Deep knowledge of technical manufacturing roles (Automation Engineers, CNC Programmers, Quality Managers) vs. just general labor.
• Tech Savvy: Ability to utilize modern sales automation tools to multiply your efforts.

Your DNA

• Business Acumen: You understand the bottom-line impact of staffing for your clients and sell on value, not just markup.
