Sales Manager

Our Organization:

DLL is not your average financial services company. In fact, we're above average in almost every way. With an employee engagement score of 85% (compared to the 72% industry average), it sure seems like we're doing something right. And, while most companies survive fewer than 20 years, 2019 marked our 50th.

We collaborate with manufacturers, suppliers and businesses in more than 30 countries to enable the acquisition of equipment, technology and software that companies need to contribute meaningfully to their communities. We believe in partnering with our customers to develop innovative and sustainable financial solutions that deliver meaningful value to the world.

At DLL, we are committed to making sure that all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, physical characteristics or mental abilities, feel welcomed and encouraged to be their authentic selves. We strive to create an inclusive environment that is reflective of the communities in which we operate. Come see what all the excitement is about.

Your Function:

As the AFS Sales Manager you will be responsible for strategic development and commercial direction for the Apple Financial Services (DLL) Named Accounts Sales team and the Apple Channel/Development teams in the US. Your primary responsibilities will include leading a sales team by defining and implementing territory plans, market strategies and strategic targets. You will successfully manage the commercial activities of the group.
