[Hiring] Sales Market Manager @Swagelok Northwest (US)

Role Description

Bring your technical sales expertise to a role where your insight shapes a rapidly evolving sales territory. You’ve built a career supporting complex manufacturing environments, working with high‑purity systems, and navigating the fast‑paced demands of advanced fabrication. You understand the precision, the reliability requirements, and the technical expectations that define this sector.

In this Market Manager role with Swagelok Northwest, you’ll step into a position that rewards both your technical understanding and your ability to build meaningful customer partnerships. You’ll engage with leading manufacturers, fabs, and equipment suppliers across Northeast Washington—helping them strengthen fluid and gas system performance, improve uptime, and solve challenges that require both engineering fluency and business insight.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in front of customers: building relationships, shaping long‑term strategies, guiding projects, and representing solutions trusted across high‑purity process industries. You’ll collaborate with cross‑functional teams, support customer innovation, and bring clarity to challenges that demand both analytical thinking and hands‑on understanding.

If you’re ready to channel your background into a position that values curiosity, credibility, and strategic leadership, this is your opportunity to make a broader impact—on customers, on the market, and on the future of high‑performance fluid and gas systems used in manufacturing environments.
