GCG is looking for an Inside Sales Manager to lead an established team of inside sales professionals within our Connectivity & Power Solutions division! Based in Pewaukee, WI, this role is ideal for a sales leader who can coach performance, create alignment across a distributed team, and help drive consistent execution in support of our customers and business goals.

In addition to standard products, CPS offers extensive value-added and custom capabilities — including cutting/stripping, labeling, braiding, packaging, and engineered cable designs — enabling us to meet unique application requirements and serve as a connectivity solutions provider.

As Inside Sales Manager, you will lead a team operating across multiple locations. Your focus will be on developing people, strengthening accountability, improving process consistency, and ensuring the team delivers responsive, knowledgeable, and dependable customer support.
