What are the responsibilities and job description for the Territory Manager - Mid Atlantic (47545) position at Sashco?
The ideal home base for this position would be Richmond, VA but will also consider candidates residing anywhere within the states of VA, MD, DE or NC. The Mid-Atlantic territory encompassing the following states: MD, NJ, VA, DE, WV, NC and SC.
At Sashco, we do things a little differently.
We don’t just sell caulks and sealants—we help contractors, retailers, and distributors do work they’re proud to stand behind.
If you believe the best salespeople don’t just build relationships—but challenge customers to think differently, uncover opportunities, and drive better outcomes, you’ll feel at home here.
We’re looking for a Territory Manager who can own the Mid-Atlantic territory, someone who can hunt for new business, close in the moment when needed, and step into a consultative role when the opportunity demands it.
What This Role Is Really About
This isn’t a sit-behind-a-laptop sales job.
You’ll spend most of your time in the field—working alongside customers, training teams, solving problems, and uncovering opportunities others miss.
Some days, that means walking into a cold account and earning the business on the spot. Other days, it means leading a conversation that reshapes how a customer thinks about their category, their approach, or their opportunity.
You’ll Be Expected To
What It Takes to Win in This Role
We’re a family-owned company that’s been around since 1936, and we operate on values that actually guide how we work: truth, trust, care, forgiveness, and respect.
We take pride in our products—but even more in how we treat people.
This isn’t the right job for everyone—and that’s intentional.
But If You’re The Kind Of Person Who
