About the role

Sumitomo Drive Technologies is seeking a Senior Sales Leader for the Midwest territory. You will drive strategic plans, manage distributor channels, and coach regional sales teams to achieve revenue and profit goals. Extensive travel (50-75%) is required to engage OEMs, distributors, and customers. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years in outside sales, 5+ years leading sales teams, and deep experience in mechanical power transmission markets.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
