Account Manager

Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a driven, relationship-oriented Account Manager to help grow new business and develop customer relationships across its specialty manufacturing markets. This fifth-generation, family-owned textile manufacturer producing specialty narrow fabrics for applications across industries including military, firefighter/protective equipment, racing, retail, and sportswear.

This position is designed for a true salesperson who is comfortable actively pursuing opportunities rather than simply managing inbound business. The Account Manager will prospect for new customers, work existing and company-generated leads, understand customer applications and requirements, and connect those needs with the product capabilities.

The ideal candidate will be confident, personable, a strong listener, and consistent with follow-up. Success is less about already knowing the highly specialized textile industry and more about having genuine sales ability, a strong work ethic, curiosity about the product, and the ability to learn technical applications and communicate effectively with customers.

Skills and Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in an aligned sales, account management, business development, or outside sales role.
• Proven sales, prospecting, and new business development experience.
• Strong communication and active-listening skills.
• Confidence interacting directly with prospective and existing customers.
• Ability to identify customer needs and connect those needs with relevant product solutions.
• Strong follow-up skills with the ability to consistently pursue opportunities.
• Ability and willingness to learn technical products, specifications, applications, and customer requirements.
• Strong work ethic with the ability to take direction and implement feedback effectively.
• Genuine hunter mentality and motivation to develop new business.
• Comfortable working within a close-knit, family-owned company environment. Direct textile or narrow-fabric manufacturing experience is not required.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
