  • Sharp consultative selling, negotiation, and problem-solving instincts
  • Self-starter energy: you manage your own territory, priorities, and calendar without someone looking over your shoulder
  • Comfortable in the field: in-person meetings, plant walkthroughs, and live product demos are part of the job
  • Microsoft Office and CRM experience is required
  • Valid U.S. driver's license and willingness to travel within Upstate NY
