Business Development Account Manager

At Thomas Door Controls, you are part of a team that has been serving Central Ohio with integrity and craftsmanship since 1949. We offer stability, hands-on training, and opportunities to grow your skills across a wide range of commercial door systems. Our team is supportive, professional, and proud to be known as Central Ohio’s door experts. Here, you do not just open doors, you open opportunities for your future.

Thomas Door is an established commercial door company serving businesses and facilities throughout Central Ohio. We specialize in commercial door installation, repair, service, and preventative maintenance, including automatic pedestrian doors, overhead doors, revolving doors, and related door systems.

We are looking for a motivated, outgoing, and results-driven Business Development Account Manager to help expand our customer base throughout Central Ohio and surrounding markets.

This position is focused primarily on new business development. We are looking for someone who enjoys getting out in the field, meeting new people, building relationships, and creating sales opportunities.

The successful candidate will proactively visit commercial and institutional facilities, introduce Thomas Door's services, and develop relationships with facilities managers, maintenance directors, property managers, and other key decision-makers.

Once new customers are established, this individual will continue managing and growing those relationships, identifying additional service, preventative maintenance, and installation opportunities.

This is a field-based sales position, not an inside sales or order‑taking role. The ideal candidate is comfortable walking into businesses, introducing themselves, and developing opportunities through consistent prospecting and follow‑up.

The assigned territory will generally include locations within approximately two hours of Columbus, Ohio.

We want someone who enjoys the challenge of developing new business and takes pride in building lasting customer relationships.

The right person will be proactive, persistent, professional, and comfortable meeting new people every day. They will understand that successful business development requires consistent activity, strong follow‑up, and a commitment to earning customers' trust.
