KPI Concepts LLC | Territory: Iowa, Illinois and Missouri
KPI Concepts is seeking an experienced commercial cabinet and countertop sales professional to grow our business throughout Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. This role requires direct commercial cabinetry experience, strong technical product knowledge, and demonstrated success working with architectural and design firms to get a manufacturer named in project specifications and established as the basis of design.
The representative will develop opportunities from early design and specification through bidding, award and project delivery, working with architects, designers, general contractors and commercial customers.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute a territory sales plan for Iowa, Illinois and Missouri; identify priority accounts, build relationships with decision makers, and achieve sales and profitability goals.
- Build relationships with architectural firms, design groups and specification writers to have KPI Concepts named in commercial cabinet and countertop specifications and selected as the basis of design.
- Present product capabilities, samples and technical information to architects and customers; support material selection and specification development during project design.
- Track specified projects through bidding and award, engage the bidding contractors, and follow through to convert specification work into purchase orders.

Tips for Your Regional Development Manager Job Search
Quantify territory growth on your resume
Regional development manager resumes that land interviews show measurable outcomes: revenue grown, partnerships secured, or markets entered. Replace vague phrases like 'expanded regional presence' with specific figures tied to a defined geography and timeline.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists regional development manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your application to each sector
A regional development manager role at a healthcare system uses completely different success metrics than one at an economic development agency. Read each job description for the KPIs they care about, then mirror that language in your cover letter and resume summary.
Highlight cross-functional stakeholder work
Hiring managers for this role almost always screen for collaboration across departments or external partners. Name the specific groups you coordinated with, whether that is city governments, C-suite sponsors, or community organizations, and describe what you achieved together.
Prepare a territory strategy for your interview
Many regional development manager interviews include a case or presentation component where you map out how you would approach a new territory. Research the company's current footprint before you go in and come ready with a structured, three-part entry plan.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate compensation
Regional development manager offers vary enormously based on territory size, budget authority, and whether you have direct reports. Clarify those parameters first so you can anchor your counteroffer to the actual complexity of the role, not just the title.
Regional Development Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most regional development managers?
The companies hiring the most regional development managers right now include HDR, USJEDU, and KLA, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is strongest in organizations with multi-state operations or active community investment programs.
How many regional development manager jobs are remote?
About 80% of regional development manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the role is more field-oriented than most management positions. Strategy, reporting, and stakeholder communication work tends to be performed remotely, while territory visits, partner meetings, and local events typically require in-person presence.
How do you become a regional development manager?
Start by building several years of experience in sales, business development, community outreach, or a sector-specific role such as economic development or healthcare administration. Move into a territory-focused position where you manage accounts or partnerships across a defined area. Demonstrate results through revenue growth, partnership volume, or market expansion before pursuing a management title. A graduate degree in business or public policy can strengthen your candidacy for roles at larger organizations.
Can you get hired as a regional development manager without direct management experience?
Yes, especially at smaller organizations or in sectors like nonprofits and economic development where the role emphasizes external partnerships over internal team management. Focus your application on results from cross-functional projects, stakeholder coordination, or territory ownership in a previous role. Highlighting your ability to influence without authority and move multi-party initiatives forward can substitute effectively for formal supervisory experience.
What does the regional development manager interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four rounds. An initial screening call focuses on your background and regional experience. A second conversation with a hiring manager or regional director goes deeper on strategy and territory approach. Later rounds often include a presentation or case exercise where you outline how you would develop a new region or partnership pipeline. Final interviews typically involve senior leadership or cross-functional stakeholders.
Where can I find and apply to regional development manager jobs?
You can find and apply to regional development manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your target sector and geography, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and goals.
