Role OverviewWe are seeking a high-energy, technical, and results-driven
Sales Manager to expand Orbee's footprint within the automotive retail space. This is a "hunter" role designed for a professional who thrives on building a book of business from the ground up, prospecting mid-market and enterprise dealer groups, and delivering complex technical demonstrations. As a remote sales operator, you will work directly with dealership executives to show them how to "flip the script" on their data ownership and move away from restrictive, "black-box" vendor models. The role is a remote position with a preference for candidates in the Houston Metro area. You will have the opportunity to develop business outside of your immediate geographic area.
