Business Development Manager – Plastics/Injection Molding (Remote, Detroit Preferred)
Base: $120,000–$125,000 + $30–40K Commission | OTE $150K–$160K+ | Full Benefits

Are you a driven sales/account management professional with experience in plastics or injection molding? 

Ready to inherit a well-established portfolio, maximize your earnings, and help shape the future of a leading, private equity-backed player in the industry?

About the Role:
My client is a major plastics injection molding business ($75–80M revenue) recognized for their flexibility, technical breadth (thermoplastic, thermoset, two-shot, overmolding, and secondary operations), and direct connections to senior leadership. With a motivated and supportive team, my client offers both the agility of a smaller organization and the impact of a market leader—backed by private equity and primed for significant growth (and a potential sale in 2–3 years).

What You'll Do:

  • Take ownership of and grow an existing customer portfolio, primarily located in Detroit and Chicago
  • Drive approximately $2M in new business landed annually, focusing on key sectors: automotive (70%), lawn/garden, industrial, medical, renewable energy, data centers, and drone manufacturing
  • Build relationships with Tier 1 customers and engage directly with engineers on technical requirements and value solutions
  • Enjoy a strong support system, including a comprehensive handover from a departing account manager and access to in-house/rep-group resources
  • Work independently and remotely, with periodic, fully expensed travel to clients and manufacturing facilities

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Base salary range: $120,000–$125,000 (DOE), plus realistic $30,000–$40,000 annual commission (total earnings: $150,000–$160,000+)
  • Commission structure: 25% paid at award, 75% on production—enabling fast earning potential, especially with takeover business
  • Full employee benefits package (401K, health, annual bonus eligibility tied to company performance)
  • Immediate, ready-made pipeline and a collaborative team of approx. 10–11 professionals

What You'll Bring:

  • Minimum 5 years experience in plastics/injection molding sales or account management (automotive, lawn/garden, industrial, renewable, or medical markets strongly preferred)
  • Proven ability to manage and grow major accounts while driving substantial new business
  • Technical proficiency to converse with engineers, review cost breakdowns, and oversee the sales process independently
  • Highly self-driven, results-oriented, and comfortable working in a remote set-up

Step into an established role where your impact will be visible, your earnings significant, and your career on a growth trajectory.
Apply today for confidential consideration.
