• Strong communication skills—verbal and written
• Professional, organized, and proactive with a high level of integrity
• Strong time management skills and the ability to work independently
• Skilled in MS Office and CRM/sales support tools
• Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs, working outdoors, and occasionally climbing ladders or scaffolding
• Willingness to travel to training events or regional functions as needed
• This role is not remote

Who You Are:

• Forward-thinking – You thrive in change and value growth
• Curious – You ask smart questions and want to keep learning
• Team-oriented – You collaborate, support others, and represent the team with integrity

Benefits:

• Base salary: $55,000–$65,000
