Account Manager – Automation/Controls

An established industrial distributor and engineering-focused organization is seeking an Account Manager to support the continued growth of its automation and controls business across Wisconsin.

This is a customer-facing, territory development role focused on identifying and developing new business opportunities within OEM, manufacturing, and industrial accounts. The position is heavily focused on relationship building, prospecting, and helping customers implement automation and control solutions that improve productivity, uptime, and operational efficiency.

The role works closely with internal engineering teams and technical product specialists to support applications, solution development, and customer implementation efforts. This is not a transactional sales role. The company is looking for someone who can build long-term relationships, understand customer challenges, and drive growth within a developing territory.

Ideal candidates will come from backgrounds in industrial automation, controls, motion control, electrical systems, PLCs, drives, HMIs, or related technical sales environments. Experience with OEMs, distributors, integrators, or manufacturing customers is highly relevant.

This is a field-oriented role covering Wisconsin with regular customer travel and strong long-term upside tied to territory growth and performance.
