Job Summary

The Sales Manager – World Emblem & Hero’s Pride is a senior sales leadership role responsible for building, managing, and driving a high-performance sales organization across both brands in North America. This role owns the commercial performance of two complementary brands — Hero’s Pride, serving law enforcement, military, and public safety markets, and World Emblem, serving a broader universe of industries that benefit from world-class, quick-turn emblem and decoration solutions including workwear, fashion, corporate, and beyond. The Sales Manager is accountable for results across a team of up to 12 sales professionals, combining inside and outside sales coverage.

• Building and leading both inside and outside sales teams to meet and exceed individual and team revenue targets
• Selling into law enforcement, military, workwear, fashion, or other B2B verticals requiring fast-turn, customized product solutions

• Understanding multi-channel buying behavior including direct, distributor, cooperative contract, and GSA procurement vehicles
• Partnering cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and Operations to align execution across brands and channels
