Job Overview
Rocky Mountain Forest Products is a $30M+ building materials distributor serving contractors across Colorado for over 50 years. We're looking for a VP of Sales to build and lead a single, data-driven sales organization across both our Wheat Ridge (WR) and Colorado Springs (CS) divisions — someone who can unify how we coach, track, and grow our sales teams company-wide.
We're a 50-year-old company that operates like one far younger. Data isn't a buzzword here — it's the engine we already run on, and we expect this role to help us push it further.
This role splits time between the WR and CS divisions, with regular in-person presence at both locations.
Compensation: Competitive base salary of $130,000–$160,000, plus an uncapped performance incentive. Exceptional performers have unlimited earning potential and can earn well above $210,000 annually.
What You'll Own
- Full ownership of sales performance and strategy across both the WR and CS divisions
- Direct oversight of division-level sales managers, with accountability for consistent standards, coaching, and reporting across both teams
- Building and standardizing a single, data-driven performance system — pipeline health, quote follow-up cadence, profit margin trends, activity levels — using Salesforce and internal reporting tools
- Driving active new business prospecting and pipeline growth across both divisions, not just management of existing accounts
- Designing and evolving tiered performance goals calibrated to individual and team-level historical performance
- Partnering directly with ownership on quota setting, territory strategy, comp design, and sales headcount planning
- Championing full adoption of CRM and reporting infrastructure — and future platforms like RockyOS — across all sales personnel
- Serving as the senior sales voice in leadership and board-level discussions on pipeline, forecasting, and revenue strategy
What We Need From You
- 6+ years in senior sales leadership, including experience managing managers
- Deep, hands-on experience using data to drive sales decisions — you should be genuinely energized by it, not just tolerant of it
- Direct experience with quota setting and quota calculations, and the ability to quickly get up to speed on our existing forecasting models and processes
- A track record in a performance-driven role where you're held to — and hold others to — hard numbers, not just activity or tenure
- Comfort learning and adopting new tools quickly, including AI-powered systems — we're building an internal platform that leans heavily on AI, and you'll need to move fast with it
- A demonstrated track record of using data to change rep and manager behavior across multiple teams or locations
- Proven ability to drive new business development and prospecting discipline at scale, not just manage an existing book
- Direct, high-accountability leadership style — comfortable holding managers accountable with numbers, not just tenure
- Experience unifying sales processes or standards across multiple locations or divisions
- Experience leading both inside and outside sales models, with the ability to drive performance across each — our team is primarily inside sales today, with outside sales as a growing part of the mix
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus given our contractor customer base
Note: building materials or distribution industry experience is not required. We're far more interested in strong, data-driven sales leaders who can step into this role and help us accelerate — the industry knowledge can be learned.
What Makes This Role Different
This is a build role, not a maintenance seat. We're actively modernizing how sales is led company-wide — real-time performance tracking, tiered goals instead of flat quotas, and a single standard of accountability across both divisions. You'll have direct ownership over how this function is built, not just a playbook handed to you to run.
