Account Executive — Kansas City
Own a piece of the company you sell for.
Cisco-Eagle isn't just another sales organization. We're an employee-owned material handling systems integrator that's been growing steadily for decades — and every employee shares in that growth through our ESOP. When we say ownership, we mean it. As an Account Executive here, you're not just building a book of business for someone else. You're helping grow a company you actually have a stake in.
We help companies solve serious supply chain, warehouse, and manufacturing challenges using conveyor systems, robotics, cranes, palletizers, storage systems, and other material handling solutions. Our Account Executives work directly with customers to understand what's happening in their operations, identify opportunities for improvement, and bring together the right Cisco-Eagle resources to solve the problem.
We're looking for an Account Executive to develop and grow our Kansas City market. This is a remote, territory-based sales position for someone who enjoys building relationships, finding opportunities, asking the right questions, and turning customer challenges into solutions.
Why People Stay at Cisco-Eagle
- You're an owner, not just an employee. Our ESOP means you build real equity as the company grows — on top of your compensation.
- Your earning potential isn't capped. Competitive base salary plus an uncapped commission plan that rewards growth and performance.
- You're backed by a team. Our Account Executives aren't expected to know or do everything themselves. You'll have engineering, systems, project management, inside sales, and other resources behind you.
- Real benefits, not just a checklist. PTO, 401(k) with company match, medical insurance, bonuses, and more.
- Stability. We've been solving material handling problems for a long time, and we're still growing.
