THE OPPORTUNITY

Silvus is seeking an entrepreneurial, strategic, and high-energy Inside Sales Manager to design, build, and scale our first-ever dedicated Inside Sales Department from the ground up.

This role reports directly to our Vice President of Sales, North America.

If you are a technical sales leader who thrives on turning ambiguity into process and enjoys leading from the front, this role is for you. This role requires up to 10% travel for business reviews as needed.
