Who We Are

Who We Want

We are looking for a dynamic Vice President of Sales to drive Clemco's revenue growth across the Americas and strengthen our distributor and direct customer relationships.

- Leader and Coach: You develop high-performing sales teams that succeed through accountability, encouragement, and continuous improvement.

What You'll Do

- Collaborate with Marketing and Product teams to align product launches, customer campaigns, and brand messaging.

- Work closely with the President of the Americas and APAC to drive value stream improvements and ensure process alignment across regions (but without global direct responsibility).
