We are hiring a Senior Sales Specialist at Vulcan Metal Group.

This is not a commodity metals role.

We sell exotic alloys + precision machined components into aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor, and space. About 60% of our business is machined parts, so you’re selling high-value solutions—not just quoting material.

If you’re used to competing on price, this won’t be a fit.

If you know how to:

• Open doors
• Sell into engineering-driven environments
• Navigate long sales cycles
• And close…

There’s real upside here.

What you get:

• Uncapped commission (margin-based)
• Draw during ramp
• High-margin product mix
• Ability to build and own your book

This is a performance role—top reps can earn $150K–$300K+.

Not for order takers. Not for coasters.

CommanderAI has built the go-to revenue engine for a $100B+ industry. We help haulers find, win, and keep more business using AI-driven data, automation, and a sales workflow built specifically for this market.

We’re hiring a high-volume Account Executive (AE) with uncapped upside to take qualified opportunities from our SDR team and turn them into long-term, high-value customers. If you love running tight sales cycles, delivering sharp demos, and closing net-new logos in an industry that’s just starting to adopt modern tech, keep reading.

What you’ll do

• Own the close: Take qualified meetings and opportunities from SDRs and drive them from discovery through demo, proposal, and signed agreement.

• Run high-impact discovery: Quickly understand a hauler’s line of business and current sales process so you can map CommanderAI to real business outcomes.

• Deliver killer demos: Lead a high velocity sales cycle with tailored demos that show owners and sales leaders how CommanderAI helps them find and win more customers.

• Master High-Velocity Sales: You will be a closing machine. Expect to handle a high volume of inbound demos daily (4-6+/day @ 20-30 min ea). You are ruthless with your time management, quick on your feet, and able to move haulers from "Hello" to "Signed" in 30 days or less.

• Build and manage pipeline: Maintain super fast sales cycles in a clean, accurate pipeline, including deal stages, close dates, and forecast in our CRM.

• Quote and negotiate: Create pricing proposals and quotes, handle objections, and negotiate terms that align value, margin, and long-term partnership.

• Collaborate to win: Partner closely with SDRs on handoffs and follow-through, and with onboarding / product to ensure a smooth go-live and strong early usage.

• Be the trusted advisor: Act as a consultative partner to haulers - not a feature pitcher - helping them modernize their sales process with AI.

• Bring the market back inside: Relay feedback, objections, and feature requests from prospects to leadership and product to help shape the roadmap.

What you’ve done

• Experience: 3+ years in a quota-carrying Account Executive or closing role in B2B, ideally SaaS. Experience selling into SMB / mid-market is a plus.

• Closing track record: Consistently hit or exceeded quota in a closing role, with clear examples of managing a structured sales process from discovery to close.

• Industry familiarity (nice-to-have): Experience selling to waste & recycling, field services, logistics, construction, or other operations-heavy industries.

• Strong communicator: Comfortable presenting to owners, GMs, and sales teams. You can simplify complex tech and keep the conversation focused on ROI and outcomes.

• Process & CRM minded: You live in a CRM, keep your pipeline clean, and can forecast your business with reasonable accuracy.

• Self-starter: You don’t need hand-holding. You show up prepared, run your territory like a business, and find ways to create momentum.

• Comfort with AI & software: You don’t have to code, but you should be comfortable demoing SaaS and talking about AI in practical, non-hype terms.

Why CommanderAI

• Compensation: Competitive base salary + uncapped commission and fast-payouts.
• Structure: Clear quota, transparent comp plan, and no cap on what you can earn if you keep closing.
• Category momentum: Waste and recycling is modernizing fast, and there is no dominant sales platform in the space yet. You’ll help define it.
• Real-world impact: You’re not selling another dashboard for marketers. You’re helping haulers win business, grow routes, and create jobs.
• Ground-floor seat: Join a tight, high-caliber team early, help shape the sales playbook, and grow into senior AE / sales leadership as we scale.

Equal Opportunity

CommanderAI is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran status, or disability.
