  • Partner with regional sales leadership to understand local market requirements, customer needs, competitive dynamics, and opportunities to expand Carrier's equipment offering.
  • Develop business cases evaluating revenue, profitability, channel coverage, required investments, and potential commercial conflicts.
  • Align third-party portfolio expansion with Carrier's broader equipment, controls, and service strategies.
  • Commercial Execution & Revenue Growth
  • Lead commercial launch strategies for newly established manufacturer partnerships in coordination with regional sales organizations.
  • Develop and manage strategic OEM partnerships, establish revenue targets, market priorities, sales strategies, feedback, and performance expectations.
  • Drive sales organization engagement and adoption of new product lines through coordinated go-to-market activities.
  • Identify opportunities to cross-sell complementary equipment and expand Carrier's share of commercial HVAC projects.
  • Strategic Leadership & Collaboration
  • Collaborate with Sales, Product Management, Finance, Legal, Sales Operations, Aftermarket, and Sourcing to structure and execute successful partnerships.
  • Navigate channel relationships, territorial considerations, and competing product lines to develop commercially sustainable agreements.

Required Qualifications

  • High School Diploma or GED
  • 6+ years of commercial experience in Applied HVAC equipment sales, business development, manufacturer representation, or OEM channel development.
  • 3+ years of experience in growing line cards or strategic partnerships with manufactures within the building mechanical systems markets.
  • Ability to travel throughout North America up to 15% of the time.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree
  • Strong understanding of the North American applied HVAC market, including manufacturer representatives, distributors, OEMs, and direct sales organizations.
  • Familiarity with OEM, manufacturer reps, contractor, consulting engineer, and building-owner purchasing dynamics in commercial HVAC.

  • Demonstrated track record of developing new business relationships and negotiating commercially successful partnerships.
  • Direct experience securing new manufacturer principals or negotiating commercial HVAC representation and distribution agreements.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
