* Own the full cycle: strategic sourcing → competitive pricing → vendor negotiation → customer sales → revenue impact
* Develop expertise in high-value commercial building systems (fire safety, security, AV/communications) with real technical depth
* Entrepreneurial autonomy-figure out what works, experiment, improve, and see direct impact on win rates and profitability

ABOUT TECH ELECTRONICS
Tech Electronics is a St. Louis-based family-owned company specializing in fire and life safety, security, and communications systems for commercial buildings across the Midwest. We work on everything from large-scale new construction projects to ongoing service and maintenance for existing clients. Our competitive advantage comes from combining technical expertise, strong vendor relationships, and excellent customer service.
THE ROLE - WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
This role blends strategic sourcing, vendor relationship management, and customer sales in roughly equal parts. You'll spend your time across three core areas:
Strategic Deal Registration (40%): Building Competitive Advantage
When we bid on large commercial projects (hospitals, universities, office buildings), you'll strategically register those opportunities with key vendors and manufacturers. Here's how it works:
* Identify which vendors to engage for each project based on technical requirements and competitive landscape
* Register the project opportunity with selected vendors (manufacturers or distributors) to secure preferential pricing
* Negotiate pricing and terms that give us a competitive edge in our bid-this directly impacts our win rate and profitability
* Build and maintain 1:1 relationships with vendor representatives to maximize deal registration opportunities
* Track registered deals through the bid process and, upon project award, execute procurement at the negotiated pricing
* Develop strategic insights: Which vendors offer the best programs? Where are the opportunities? What's working and what's not?
This is NEW territory for Tech Electronics-you'll be building this capability from scratch with autonomy to shape how it works.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Materials Sales (40%): Direct Customer Revenue
You'll also manage direct sales of fire safety, security, and AV materials to external customers (contractors, installers, other industry professionals):
* Process customer requests via phone, email, walk-in, and online channels-providing quotes, technical support, and product recommendations
* Source competitive pricing from our vendor network to support customer quotes and orders
* Fulfill orders efficiently while ensuring accuracy in pricing, product specifications, and documentation
* Identify opportunities to grow OTC sales through better product knowledge, customer service, and market awareness
* Coordinate with warehouse staff on inventory levels and fast-moving items
Data, Analysis & Continuous Improvement (20%)
Use data to drive better decisions and outcomes:
* Maintain accurate records of deal registrations, vendor pricing, and customer transactions in Acumatica ERP and Salesforce
* Analyze pricing trends, vendor performance, and deal registration success rates to identify improvement opportunities
* Monitor competitor activity and market dynamics to stay ahead of pricing and program changes
* Collaborate with project managers, estimators, and field personnel to understand needs and refine sourcing strategies
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We value business acumen, relationship skills, and entrepreneurial drive over deep technical expertise. The right person can learn our products-what we can't teach is curiosity, initiative, and the ability to build relationships.
Required Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, or related field
* 2+ years of experience in procurement, sales, technical support, or account management roles
* Analytical thinking and data skills - Comfortable using data to guide decisions; proficiency with Excel for analysis and reporting
* Strong relationship and communication skills - Ability to build trust with vendors, customers, and internal teams through professional, articulate interaction
* Entrepreneurial mindset - Self-starter who doesn't wait to be told what to do; takes ownership, experiments, learns, and improves
* Business and commercial acumen - Understand how pricing, margins, and competitive dynamics work in B2B environments
Highly Valued (But We Can Work With You):
* Experience with vendor deal registration, co-op programs, or rebate management
* Background in fire safety, security, AV systems, electrical, or construction industries (we'll teach you the products if you're curious and motivated)
* ERP system experience (we use Acumatica) and CRM experience (we use Salesforce)
* Understanding of commercial construction project timelines and bidding processes
* Technical training or certifications in related fields
Skills & Attributes for Success:
* Problem-solving orientation-you define problems, gather facts, and develop solutions rather than just executing tasks
* Attention to detail for accurate pricing, quotes, and documentation
* Organizational skills to manage multiple vendor relationships and deal registrations simultaneously
* Customer service mindset with commitment to responsiveness and follow-through
* Ability to learn and navigate multiple vendor portals and systems quickly
* Negotiation skills and comfort discussing pricing, terms, and competitive positioning
* Integrity in handling confidential vendor pricing and customer information
* Continuous improvement mindset-always looking for ways to do things better
WORK ENVIRONMENT & SCHEDULE
* Location: St. Louis office with hybrid work flexibility
* Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
* Travel: Minimal to none (occasional vendor meetings or industry events possible but not required)
* Reports to: Supply Chain Leadership
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
* Competitive salary commensurate with experience and qualifications
* Comprehensive health insurance
* 401(k) with company match
* Paid time off (2 weeks vacation to start plus 6 days of personal time, increases with tenure)
* Education reimbursement for professional development and certifications
* Growth opportunities into senior sourcing, category management, sales, or project management roles
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE
You're someone who:
* Gets energized by owning outcomes, not just completing tasks-you want to see the impact of your work on win rates and revenue
* Enjoys building relationships with vendors and customers-you're naturally curious about their business and how to create mutual value
* Likes variety-you don't want to do the same thing every day; the blend of strategic work, sales, and analysis keeps you engaged
* Thinks entrepreneurially-you experiment, learn from what works, and continuously improve without needing someone to tell you how
* Values end-to-end ownership over narrow specialization-you want to understand the full value chain, not just one piece
* Appreciates working in a small company where your contributions are visible and leadership is accessible
