Siftex Equipment Company is a growing South Windsor, CT-based manufacturer specializing in custom and flexible connectors. We have a tight-knit, talented team, and we’re proud of the culture we’ve built and the people who make it happen.

The Sales Manager is the face of our brand — a trusted partner to our customers and a values-driven leader who sets the tone for how we do business. This role goes beyond revenue: you’ll drive strategy, lead marketing efforts, protect our margins, and build lasting relationships. If you lead with integrity and thrive on growth, this role was built for you.

We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here’s what you’ll get:

A culture worth showing up for: driven, collaborative, and refreshingly human — a team that checks its ego at the door, celebrates wins, and gets things done without the noise

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience

Generous commission and incentive plan — real earning potential tied to your results

Health Insurance: 75% company paid after just 3 months

Life, disability, critical illness & accident insurance: 100% company paid

Paid time off: 2 weeks vacation + 1 week personal time + 13 paid holidays

Two performance-based bonuses per year — because we share our success

3% 401(k) contribution + 3% profit sharing — we invest in your future

Workplace perks: complimentary cereal bar, daily soup selection, monthly luncheons, and team outings

This isn’t just a job — it’s a place where you’re valued, celebrated, and invested in.
