Sales and field service operations are conducted by the Fleet Territory Managers using their home or company office as their base. The Incumbent can reside anywhere within the Territory, Remote Position, or Hybrid (Cleveland business unit headquarters). Their territories are extremely large, and they must be strongly self-motivated since they have limited personal contact with regional sales management or business unit management.
The incumbent participates in trade/state association meetings, conventions and shows and represents HWS in trade associations (i.e., TMC, NPTC) and fleet/dealer events.
As conditions are constantly changing within HWS and in the marketplace, the incumbent must effectively apply knowledge and skill in creating an acceptable balance of the customer needs and the company's current capabilities.

The sales incentive plan may include a combination of any of these metrics depending on the overall goals of the business for that year.
Sales and field service operations are conducted by the FTM using their home or company office as their base. Fleets and dealers are scattered across a large geography and require a candidate that is strongly self-motivated with the ability to operate autonomously.
Key contacts are with management, finance, marketing, purchasing, product safety, maintenance and technical representatives of major fleets, truck/trailer dealers and industry stakeholders. Internal contacts include all disciplines of HWS.
