Position Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced Director of Sales to lead and develop a regional sales team within the office-based capital equipment market. This hands-on leadership role drives sales performance, develops the team, and executes growth initiatives across a large Central U.S. region.

The ideal candidate has a strong track record leading sales teams that sell high-value capital equipment directly into dental practices, physician offices, clinics, or similar office-based healthcare settings. Dental capital equipment experience is strongly preferred; we will also consider relevant office-based medical capital equipment experience.

We are looking for a leader who believes in being in the field with their team — actively coaching reps, developing talent, driving accountability, and helping move opportunities through the sales process.

This is not a desk-based management position.

The Director will be highly engaged with the field organization, customers, and sales process and should expect approximately 50%+ travel throughout the region.
