Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

We are seeking a Commodities Sales Coordinator to join our team in the Denver area. The ideal candidate will own the day-to-day pricing, quoting, and order management activity for our commodity manufacturer lines — primarily Southwire wire and cable, along with other high‑velocity, market‑priced product categories. This role thrives on daily price movement, fast turnarounds, and tight coordination between distributors, contractors, our outside sales team, and the manufacturer.

• High school diploma or equivalent;
  Bachelor’s degree is a plus
• Proven experience in inside sales, sales coordination, or customer service — commodity, wire & cable, or distribution background strongly preferred
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to manage rapid back‑and‑forth with distributors, contractors, and manufacturer teams
• Proficiency in CRM software, manufacturer quoting and Microsoft Office Suite (Excel‑heavy)
• Comfort working with daily commodity price movement (copper / COMEX) and translating that into quoting urgency
• Strong sense of urgency — ability to prioritize when the market is moving and quotes have short fuses
• Ability to work independently and as part of a tight‑knit commodity team
• Knowledge of electrical distribution channels, contractor workflows, and project‑based selling
• Technical aptitude for reading specs, bills of material (BOMs), and wire/cable schedules to build accurate quotes
• Analytical skills to extract relevant SKUs, lengths, and put‑ups from project documentation

• Own the full pricing & quoting workflow for Southwire and other commodity manufacturer lines — this is the bulk of the day
• Process Project Pricing Requests (PPRs): take specs and BOMs from contractors and distributors, build the quote in Southwire’s system (and other manufacturer portals), and manage the back‑and‑forth until the quote is locked
• Drive quote follow‑ups — know which quotes are aging, which need to be tightened against a moving market, and when to push contractors to commit before a price change
• Maintain daily awareness of copper / COMEX movement and other commodity indicators; flag at‑risk quotes proactively to outside sales and the customer
• Process incoming orders, validate against quoted pricing and contracts, and submit cleanly to the manufacturer
• Track open orders end‑to‑end — acknowledgments, ship dates, freight, releases on blanket orders — and follow up until the customer has the product in hand
• Manage project‑level coordination across multiple releases, partial shipments, and contract draws
• Set up, renew, and track wire contracts and SPAs (annual, project‑specific, and blanket); maintain accurate contract records and ensure pricing is honored at the distributor level
• Pull and analyze POS and sales data; build reporting that highlights trends, gaps, and opportunities for the commodity team and management
• Serve as a Customer / Tech Service touchpoint — product availability, substitutions, certs, COCs, and basic technical questions on wire, cable, and related commodity SKUs
• Maintain and update the customer database and quote log in CRM software
• Collaborate daily with the commodity team, outside sales, and management to hit and exceed line targets
• Stay current on Southwire (and other commodity principal) product launches, program changes, and pricing updates
• Communicate clearly and effectively in both verbal conversations and written correspondence (emails, quotes, contracts, order acknowledgments)
• Handle customer concerns and issue resolution professionally — mis‑ships, billing discrepancies, freight claims, and contract pricing disputes
• Serve as the internal advocate and liaison for assigned commodity manufacturers; partner with their inside teams, sales managers, and contract desks to drive results
• Participate in manufacturer training, promotional campaigns (e.g., Southwire Blitzes), and joint distributor / contractor activity
• Monitor manufacturer performance, market positioning, and competitive pricing pressure; report…
