Senior Account Manager (Equipment Finance)

A senior role for producers ready to operate at the highest level and step into leadership. Proven performers only. Lead, mentor, and maximize your earning potential.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager we can add to our world-class sales team who’s already proven they know how to win—and is ready to do it at scale. A talented individual who is looking to build a career vs looking for a job.  This is a role for elite sales professionals with a track record of building customer relationships, closing complex, high-value project and equipment finance deals and a hunger to take their career to the next level.

You’ll proactively develop relationships and manage a portfolio of sophisticated middle-market clients, close transactions ranging from $500,000 to $250 million+, and engage C-suite executives who need creative capital solutions traditional lenders can’t deliver. You’ll also mentor junior Account Managers, shape sales strategy, and position yourself for advancement to Vice President and beyond.

This is about both building a pipeline and about leveraging your expertise, relationships, and industry knowledge to dominate your territory and drive breakthrough results. If you’ve consistently exceeded quota, thrive in complex deal environments, and are ready to join a team that rewards top performers, this is your opportunity.
