About Sunward Steel Buildings
Family-owned and American-made for over 50 years. We design, engineer, and manufacture fully custom steel buildings delivered to every state in the U.S. and across Canada - aircraft hangars, industrial facilities, arenas, agricultural buildings, self-storage complexes, barndominiums, and more. No two projects are alike, and that is exactly how we like it.
We do not sell from a catalog. We partner with each customer to understand their vision and engineer a solution built specifically for them. That is what has kept us growing for half a century - and it is the foundation for everything our Sales Manager does.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Sales Manager who leads from the front. This is a player/coach role - you carry your own book of business while leading, developing, and holding accountable a team of 3-4 Sales Consultants. Roughly half your time is personal production. The other half is making your team better.
If you want to step back from selling, this is not the right role. If you are energized by closing your own deals and watching your team close theirs - and you want to earn income that reflects both - keep reading.
Your base is $65,000. Your income ceiling is set by your effort and your team’s results. Top performers in player/coach roles at companies like Sunward earn $150,000-$300,000+. The commission structure rewards both personal production and team performance.
This is a full-time, in-office role based in Denver, CO - Monday - Friday.
What You Will Do
Carry your own active pipeline of inbound and outbound leads, with a focus on large or complex projects - from first contact through signed contract
Lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of 3-4 Sales Consultants through structured one-on-ones, pipeline reviews, and deal coaching sessions
Set performance expectations for the team and take corrective action when KPIs trend in the wrong direction
Run deal reviews and coaching sessions that sharpen your team’s skills and move opportunities forward with urgency
Develop and execute sales strategies and action plans aligned with monthly and annual revenue targets - for your book and your team’s portfolio
Build and maintain strong customer relationships, modeling the consultative approach and professionalism you expect from your team
Monitor team and individual KPIs and generate regular performance reports and pipeline forecasts for senior leadership
Champion disciplined CRM use across the team - pipeline hygiene and activity tracking are non-negotiable
Qualifications
What We Are Looking For
3+ years of proven inside sales experience with at least 1 year in a team lead, senior, or management capacity
A genuine track record of hitting or exceeding personal sales targets - not just managing a team that hits them
Strong leadership instincts - you can hold people accountable and keep them motivated at the same time
Confident communicator on the phone, in writing, and in escalated customer situations
CRM proficiency and comfort with sales reporting and performance dashboards
Even better if you have experience in construction, building products, PEMB, or manufacturing sales; familiarity with consultative sales methodologies; or experience coaching from data rather than instinct alone.
Compensation
$65,000 base salary
Individual commission on your personal production - uncapped
Team override commission on your team’s production - uncapped
Total comp target: $80,000 - $300,000+ depending on personal and team performance
Sales competitions and top-performer recognition programs
Benefits
Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
Group Life Insurance and AD&D - 100% company-paid
Long-Term Disability - 100% company-paid
401(k) Retirement Plan
128 hours of Paid Time Off + 8 paid holidays
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Career Growth
High-performing Sales Managers at Sunward have a clear path toward Director of Sales and senior leadership as the company grows. We invest in leaders who build other leaders - and we promote from within. If you are exceptional at this, we will find ways to grow with you.
Sunward Steel Buildings is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check. Must be authorized to work in the United States.
