Your Job

We're looking for an experienced Account Manager to own and grow a strategic global EMS/ODM account in the Dallas or Austin area. You'll be the face of our company to this customer, building relationships at every level, creating demand for new designs, and driving both revenue and margin growth.

You'll represent a broad portfolio of connector and interconnect solutions that enable next-generation data center infrastructure and other high-growth technology applications. This role combines technical sales, relationship management, and strategic account leadership to help customers solve complex connectivity challenges while creating long-term value for both organizations.

This isn't a role where you manage a spreadsheet and wait for orders. You'll be engaging engineers, uncovering new design opportunities, navigating complex organizations, and bringing innovative solutions to life across our full product portfolio.

The ideal candidate is a consultative sales professional who enjoys engaging engineers, uncovering design opportunities, and influencing products from concept through production.

What You Will Do

  • Grow existing business while continuously expanding the pipeline of new opportunities.
  • Create value for customers through exceptional service, technical support, quality products, and innovative solutions.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, Quality, Manufacturing, Finance, and Supply Chain teams to deliver successful outcomes for customers.
  • Track and support global design opportunities, ensuring Molex captures business as programs transition across regions and manufacturing locations.
  • Maintain accurate account plans, opportunity pipelines, and customer information within Salesforce.
  • Travel approximately 20-25% to strengthen customer relationships, support business growth, and engage with key stakeholders.
  • Continuously develop technical expertise across Molex's connector and interconnect portfolio.


What Success Looks Like

  • Build trusted relationships throughout the customer organization.
  • Create and convert new design opportunities into long-term revenue growth.
  • Deliver exceptional customer experiences through responsiveness, quality, and partnership.
  • Expand Molex's position as a preferred technology and development partner.
  • Drive profitable growth while creating mutual value for both Molex and the customer.


Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

  • 5+ years of experience in account management, technical sales, business development, or sales engineering within the electronics, connector, or interconnect industry.
  • Demonstrated success by creating demand, winning new business, and driving growth through design opportunities.
  • Experience selling connector, interconnect, cable assembly, or related electronic component solutions.
  • Ability to understand customer applications and align technical solutions to business needs.
  • Experience building relationships across engineering, procurement, supply chain, and commercial functions.
  • Proficiency with Salesforce or similar CRM systems for opportunity and pipeline management.
  • Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability and willingness to travel approximately 20-25%.


What Will Put You Ahead

  • Experience supporting EMS, ODM, server, storage, networking, cloud infrastructure, or data center customers.
  • Industry experience in Data Communications, Gaming, Industrial, or Aerospace & Defense markets.
  • Existing relationships within the Dallas-Fort Worth or Austin electronics ecosystem.
  • Proven track record of winning competitive designs and displacing incumbent suppliers.
  • Experience managing globally complex accounts and supporting international demand transfers.
  • Ability to identify emerging customer needs and translate them into strategic growth opportunities.
  • Familiarity with high-speed connectivity, power, connector, cable assembly, or interconnect technologies.
  • Ability to engage confidently in technical discussions with customer engineering teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Business, or a related field.

About Koch Industries

Koch Industries, Inc. is an American privately-held multinational conglomerate corporation based in Wichita, Kansas. Its subsidiaries are involved in the manufacturing, refining, and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, fertilizers, pulp and paper, chemical technology equipment, ranching, finance, commodities trading, and investing. Koch owns Infor, Invista, Georgia-Pacific, Molex, Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline, Koch Fertilizer, Koch Minerals, Matador Cattle Company, i360, and Guardian Industries. The firm employs 120,000 people in 60 countries, with about half of its business in the United States. The company is the largest non-Canadian landowner in the Athabasca oil sands. With annual revenues of $110 billion by 2014, the company is the largest privately held company in the United States. In 2007, it was ranked as the largest privately held company. If Koch Industries had been a public company in 2013, it would have ranked 17th in the Fortune 500. The company was founded by its namesake, Fred C. Koch, in 1940 after he developed an innovative crude oil refining process. Fred C. Koch died in 1967 and his majority interest in the company was split amongst his four sons. In June 1983, after a bitter legal and boardroom battle, the stakes of Frederick R. Koch and William "Bill" Koch were bought out for $1.1 billion and Charles Koch and David Koch became majority owners in the company. Charles owns 42% of the company; trusts for the benefit of Elaine Tettemer Marshall and Elaine's children, Preston Marshall and E. Pierce Marshall Jr., own 16% of the company. The heirs of David Koch, who died on August 23, 2019, own the balance, 42%, of the corporation.
