Head of Sales (Coach/Player)

OTC is a growing electrical distributor serving contractors, industrial manufacturers, OEMs, utilities, and commercial customers throughout North America.

Our success is built on exceptional people, trusted customer relationships, and a commitment to continuous improvement. As we continue to grow, we're investing in leaders who enjoy developing talent, improving execution, and helping build an organization that scales for the future.

We're not looking for someone to simply manage a sales team—we're looking for someone who wants to build one.

We're hiring a Head of Sales (Player-Coach) | Electrical Distribution to lead the next phase of our commercial growth.

You'll work directly with an established team of approximately eight Inside and Outside Sales professionals, partnering closely with the CEO and cross-functional leaders to strengthen customer relationships, improve commercial performance, and develop the next generation of sales leaders.

high-performing sales organization, we'd love to meet you
