Description
Role Overview

This is a critical role responsible for managing the existing New England region while entering and establishing the NY Metro and Mid‑Atlantic regions for Bridge Appliances. You will be accountable for growing the New England market while building the market from the ground up—developing pipeline, closing initial customers, and creating the foundation for long‑term growth within the New York Metro and Mid‑Atlantic regions.

This is a hands‑on leadership role requiring both strategic market development and day‑to‑day execution, with full accountability for pipeline creation, team performance, and revenue outcomes.

Role Focus & Priorities (First 6–12 Months)

In the first year, success in this role will be primarily measured by revenue traction and the establishment of a repeatable sales motion in the territory. The Territory Sales Manager is expected to focus first on winning initial customers, building a qualified pipeline, and proving strong unit economics before scaling headcount. Team growth, partnerships, and broader market expansion will follow once early momentum, and a clear go‑to‑market model are established.
