• Lead all sales efforts for your specialty category, aligning to BlueLinx’s mission, vision, and strategic priorities.
• Build district-level sales plans with General Managers and execute against targeted goals.
• Identify and cultivate new business opportunities and expand revenue with existing customers.

• Manage relationships with key accounts, ensuring a strong value proposition and proactive problem-solving.
• Deliver outstanding customer service, ensuring needs are met with speed, accuracy, and professionalism.
• Provide product expertise and support impactful customer presentations.

• Stay informed of market trends, competitor activity, and pricing dynamics to advise on strategy.

• Conduct joint sales calls with Sales Representatives to identify growth opportunities.

• Recommend product or service enhancements that drive customer satisfaction and competitive advantage.

• A strategic mindset with the ability to translate business goals into actionable plans.
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to influence across teams and customers.
• Proven success in sales, business development, or account management — ideally within building materials or adjacent industries.
• The ability to navigate complex challenges, analyze trends, and offer innovative solutions.
• Comfort working both independently and collaboratively across functions.

• Decision-Making: Apply sound judgment within the framework of company policy, guidelines, and established best practices.
• Financial Influence: Contribute to district planning, forecasting, and budgeting.
• Problem Solving: Address complex issues requiring thoughtful analysis and cross-team collaboration.
• Leadership: Influence without authority, build consensus, and drive alignment across multiple stakeholders.
