Hybrid | Reports to the CEO

About Reliance Foundry

Since 1925, Reliance Foundry has designed and supplied bollards, site furnishings, custom foundry products and perimeter security products, including crash-rated vehicle barriers that protect people and places across North America.

We are a focused B2B company with a lean team, a strong brand and customers ranging from contractors and landscape architects to municipalities, universities and government facilities. Our sales model combines e-commerce, high-volume inbound opportunities, key-account development and complex specification-driven projects.

The opportunity

We are looking for an experienced sales leader to take ownership of our sales function and continue building a consistently high-performing team.

You will lead approximately a dozen sales professionals working across inside sales, key accounts, and public-sector and online bid channels. The team includes experienced representatives and talented people early in their careers.

This is a hands-on player-coach role. You will work directly with the team on live opportunities, strengthen pipeline and forecast discipline, coach representatives to higher performance, and build the systems that make results repeatable.

Our sales cycles range from same-day orders to complex municipal, institutional and enterprise projects that can take months or years to close. We generate hundreds of quotes each week. You will help the team manage both types of opportunities without allowing longer-term projects to displace the daily execution needed to deliver current results.





You will report directly to the CEO and have meaningful influence over how the sales function develops during Reliance’s next stage of growth.

What you will own

- Own the annual sales plan, translate company revenue targets into category, team and individual objectives, and manage performance against revenue, order, conversion and activity expectations.
- Maintain an accurate rolling forecast and provide the CEO and SLT with a clear, defensible quarterly outlook.
- Coach salespeople at different stages of their careers, including experienced high performers, using live opportunities, customer strategy and deal progression as practical development opportunities.
- Lead hiring, onboarding, goal setting, development and performance management across the sales team.
- Establish clear ownership of accounts, opportunities and product categories. Identify capability or capacity gaps and recommend changes to team structure, coverage and resource allocation.
- Run a disciplined operating rhythm of pipeline reviews, category reviews, individual coaching sessions and weekly performance meetings.
- Build practical sales processes, playbooks and standards that improve execution without adding unnecessary administration.
- Partner with Marketing to improve lead quality, response time, MQL-to-opportunity conversion and e-commerce performance.
- Work with Finance, Operations, Engineering, Product Development and Technology to improve pricing decisions, order flow,



shipment visibility and customer communication.
- Use NetSuite, reporting and AI-assisted sales tools to improve visibility, efficiency and decision-making, while helping the team adopt new tools and processes effectively.
- Attend tradeshows and represent Reliance, its brand and its sales team professionally.
- Exercise sound commercial judgment in an environment affected by tariffs, global supply conditions, pricing changes and variable product availability.

- Strengthened the rolling forecast and created clearer visibility into pipeline health, conversion and upcoming revenue.
- Established explicit accountability for accounts, opportunities, product categories and sales activities.
- Built a consistent coaching and performance-management rhythm that improves follow-up, qualification and conversion, particularly on high-value opportunities.
- Strengthened coordination between Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Operations, Finance and Product Development.
- Identified capability gaps and made clear decisions about hiring, development, performance, team structure and account coverage.
- Developed processes and playbooks that make strong performance more consistent and repeatable.
