Account Manager (Equipment Finance)

High-volume deal flow. Six-figure income potential. A proven path from hunter to leader.

The Opportunity

We’re building a world-class sales team to fuel the next phase of growth at one of America’s largest privately held equipment finance companies. As an Account Manager, you’ll architect capital solutions for mid-market companies across North America—transactions that banks can’t or won’t touch. You’ll close deals averaging $500k to $50 million, engage directly with C-suite decision-makers, and earn what you’re worth in a high-reward, performance-driven environment.

This isn’t transactional sales. It’s consultative problem-solving at scale. You’ll work with CEOs, CFOs, and VPs of Finance who need creative capital solutions to fuel rapid expansion, navigate business cycle volatility, or fund complex projects traditional lenders won’t finance. If you have the competitive drive, business acumen, and hunger to succeed, this is your opportunity to build a lucrative career in commercial equipment finance.
