Job Description

Are you ready to take the next big step in your sales leadership career?

As the Sales Director at CARD Companies, you’ll join a tight-knit executive team that values autonomy, accountability, and results. This is a rare chance to build and lead sales departments across multiple high-growth companies : J&W Asphalt, Hamill Concrete, Ostertag Concrete, and Benchmark Concrete; each with a track record of 30–100% annual growth.

Here, you won’t be micro-managed or buried in corporate bureaucracy. You’ll have the authority to shape strategy, mentor and grow your teams, and directly influence how we capture new market share. You’ll work side by side with owners, finance, HR, and marketing to set sales goals, align budgets, and drive execution that fuels measurable company-wide growth; all while enjoying a role that involves minimal travel and keeps you close to home in the Twin Cities.

Unlike a large corporation, you’ll see the direct impact of your leadership as our businesses expand, acquire, and evolve. With a combined 145 employees and a 2,400% growth trajectory over the past 15 years, CARD Companies is positioned for its next stage and you’ll be a key driver of that success. For the right leader, this role offers not just competitive compensation, but also a pathway for future advancement, professional development, and even executive education sponsorship.

If you’re a proven sales leader ready to break free from red tape and make your mark in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment, this is your opportunity.
