About Forgepoint
The product Forgepoint's sellers carry is itself a salesperson: Frank, an AI inside sales rep that acknowledges RFQs around the clock, chases missing specs, prices each part from the shop's own cost model for a human to approve, sends the quote, follows up and logs everything in the CRM and ERP, with further AI workers for order intake, purchasing, receivables and customer service. Buyers are owners, CEOs and plant managers at US manufacturers, and its site lists injection molders, steel mills, foundries, metal service centers, stampers, CNC shops, forging shops and fastener makers among them. Selling is still founder-led, and the board shows the first layer being hired: one new-business account executive who builds a self-sourced pipeline and closes on a MEDDPICC-style process, a strategic partnerships manager to open doors through ERP vendors, trade associations, government agencies and private equity firms that own manufacturers, and a GTM engineer to automate outbound, enrichment and CRM data. After signature, a Deployment Strategist and a Head of Deployment Strategy (a player-coach who will build that team) run on-site discovery, configure Frank inside each customer's workflows and look for expansion into more of them, and a brand and content manager completes the six. All six work from its New York office five days a week, and the customer-facing seats travel to plants across the US.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
