The Tyndale Company is a private, 8x Top Workplace winner in PA and an industry leading national supplier of arc-rated flame-resistant clothing (FRC) to the utilities, oil and gas, transportation, chemical manufacturing, molten metals, and NFPA 70E markets. We’re a family-owned business providing a retail-style apparel experience to hundreds of thousands of energy workers across the US and Canada. We’re the leading distributor of innovative FRC solutions, and the largest industrial supplier of Carhartt FR, Ariat FR, and Wrangler FR clothing.

We're excited to add a Strategic Account Manager (SAM) who plays a critical role in supporting the Strategic Account Executive (SAE) by driving sales execution, optimizing customer programs, and ensuring seamless handoff of newly acquired business. Acting as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Tyndale’s systems, processes, and product offerings, this role enables the Strategic Account Executive team to efficiently land new business and transition it to the National Account Executive (NAE) and Account Management (AM) teams for long-term success.

This role partners closely with the SAE to support customer presentations, tailor solutions, manage program setup, and provide high-value sales support. The SAM does not require prospecting or lead generation but plays a vital role in sales execution, process optimization, and internal collaboration to ensure business growth and smooth transitions.
