• Lead outbound business development, account engagement, and relationship management with enterprise, carrier, contractor, utility, and channel contacts.
• Review equipment lists, product details, condition notes, and market activity to determine pricing and recovery potential.
• Develop and present purchase proposals, trade in options, and value recovery recommendations that align with business goals.
• Negotiate commercial terms, coordinate due diligence, and move opportunities through execution with urgency and professionalism.
• Partner with internal teams and external service providers to support inspections, pickups, freight planning, and asset intake.
• Track pipeline activity, buying trends, and program performance using CRM tools, spreadsheets, and reporting discipline.
• Stay current on market demand, product shifts, and secondary channel activity to improve buying strategy and margin performance.

Qualifications

• 3 or more years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, asset recovery, ITAD, secondary market sales, or related commercial buying environments.
• Demonstrated success in business development, supplier engagement, or negotiated purchasing.
• Ability to assess the value of used or excess equipment and make sound buying recommendations.
• Comfort working in a remote setting with a national territory and a self-directed workflow.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with Excel, CRM systems, and general pipeline management practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain, finance, operations, or a related field is preferred.

Preferred Background

• Experience working with technology hardware, infrastructure equipment, electronics, industrial components, or related categories.
• Exposure to reverse logistics, resale channels, refurbishment programs, liquidation, or circular economy models.
• Familiarity with fast paced, entrepreneurial environments where initiative and follow-through matter.
