Full Job Description
Job Description

This is a remote role. Candidates must reside within the assigned territory (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, South Dakota, or North Dakota) and travel up to 70% of the time.

The Territory Sales Manager (TSM) is responsible for owning all sales activity within an assigned geographic footprint, including new business development, existing customer growth, and channel expansion. This role serves as the primary point of accountability for driving both run-rate business and larger project opportunities within the territory.

The TSM must balance aggressive hunting for new opportunities with disciplined coverage of existing customers, distributors, and integrators. While the TSM owns territorial execution, they work closely with Vertical Sales Managers to pursue prioritized vertical targets and ensure larger, strategic projects progress effectively.

This role requires strong end-user engagement skills, the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders, and the discipline to pursue opportunities of all sizes-from smaller transactional wins to complex, multi-stakeholder system solutions.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
  • Own all sales activity within assigned territory, including new business, existing customers, and channel partners.
  • Actively hunt for new opportunities while maintaining consistent focus on run-rate and small-to-mid-sized projects.
  • Develop and expand relationships with end users, systems integrators, distributors and architects, engineers & consultants (ACE) within the territory.
  • Identify, qualify, and drive complex video security opportunities involving multiple stakeholders.
  • Execute against vertical targets assigned by Vertical Sales Managers and provide regular updates on project progression.
  • Maintain disciplined opportunity management and provide timely status updates using approved sales tools (e.g., Blue Sheets).
  • Collaborate closely with Regional Directors and Vertical Sales Managers to align territory execution with vertical strategy.
  • Travel within the territory (70%) as needed to support customer meetings, partner engagement, and key opportunities.


Qualifications
  • High School diploma is required. A bachelor's degree in business, marketing or technical discipline is preferred.
  • 5 years of industry experience, preferably with a manufacturer, is required.
  • Industry affiliations and certification a plus.
  • Strong communication skills, solid industry and product specific knowledge, plus the ability to successfully generate and close business.
  • Requires 50-70% travel and requires that the individual reside within the district they represent.


Additional Information

The U.S.-based annual rate for this role is between $92,000-$125,000 USD. This position is also eligible for incentive commission. Within the range, individual pay is determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to, work experience and job knowledge, complexity of the role, job location, etc.

In addition to base salary, full-time employees are eligible to participate in Keenfinity Group's (US) Health and Welfare Benefit Plans-including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance-as well as the company's 401(k) plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the respective plan documents. Full-time employees are eligible to participate in Keenfinity Group's paid time off and sick leave programs in accordance with applicable policies.
