About Dauch
Dauch is the company formed when American Axle & Manufacturing bought Dowlais Group, the parent of GKN Automotive and GKN Powder Metallurgy, and its sellers place axles, sideshafts, propshafts, forgings and sintered metal parts on vehicle programs at carmakers and at the first- and second-tier suppliers that build for them. In metro Detroit the selling is program and quote work: a key account manager in Auburn Hills calls on OEM buyers and design engineers across the US, keeps the pipeline forecast, leads cross-divisional proposal teams and negotiates tender terms to win project awards, while a sales manager at the Detroit world headquarters runs quoting for the domestic OEM forgings and machined components group and tracks the carmakers' long-range product plans. Behind them a sales coordinator keeps contract price levels, quote follow-through, re-billable tooling claims and ISO audit evidence in order. Abroad the same quote-to-contract cycle runs closer to the plants: an account manager in Danyang, China works the e-RFQ system and negotiates price, tooling cost, payment terms and material surcharges in step with the global key account managers, and a senior sales and marketing engineer in Pune, India owns the order book, collections, price increases and PPAP follow-up with engineering. The postings ask for an engineering or business degree and years of automotive OEM sales, with General Motors or Detroit Three experience named for the forgings seat; a Detroit opening titled business development is corporate M&A work (valuation, due diligence, integration) rather than selling.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Dauch
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: None of its sales postings, in Michigan, China or India, states a salary, a range, a bonus or a commission: they list the quoting, pricing and contract duties and the degree and automotive experience wanted, and some US ones name the employing entity, American Axle & Manufacturing Inc. Selling here is measured in program awards, quoted prices and price recovery on inflation and raw material rather than monthly closed deals, so ask the recruiter for the base band for the grade, whether variable pay is an annual bonus on company and personal targets or a commission tied to awarded business, which measures a key account manager is judged on (new business wins, price increases, margin), and whether a car or travel allowance comes with accounts spread across the US.
