Inside Sales | Nox Metals | Ferndale, MI
Nox Metals is a Detroit-based technology company supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers, using software and automation to move metal faster than the industry thought possible.
We need an Inside Sales hire to turn RFQs into shipped orders: fast, accurate quotes, specs locked in tight, orders pushed cleanly into production, and customers kept in the loop the whole way. You'll own the inbox, the front door of the company.
You will:
Own inbound RFQs and quoting end to end, estimate jobs in WAYNE, run nests, validate scrap, and turn drawings, specs, and POs into clean jobs in NOX NEST
Push orders into production with every detail right (alloy, temper, thickness, tolerances, certs, ship date, packaging)
Work with scheduling to commit dates we can hit and hit the dates we commit to
Own the customer relationship inside the four walls: quotes, follow-ups, confirmations, status updates
Catch issues before they become problems, including missing specs, mismatched POs, and conflicting cert requirements
Coordinate with quality, supply chain, and shipping on every order from open to delivered
Work hand in hand with Outside Sales as the engine that lets them keep selling
Log every quote and outcome in the CRM
Ask questions instead of guessing, and always look for a better way to do the work
You should be:
Experienced in inside sales, quoting, estimating, or customer service in metals, machine shops, or industrial manufacturing
Technically fluent: able to read a drawing and talk alloys, tempers, tolerances, and lead times
Sharp with numbers and detail-oriented, comfortable living in spreadsheets, quoting tools, and AI tools all day
Organized enough to juggle dozens of open quotes without dropping one
Precise under pressure and customer-obsessed
A low-ego team player who takes ownership, works safely, and never says "that's not my job"
Nice to have:
Metals or aerospace quoting background
WAYNE-style nesting tools experience
GD&T reading ability
AS9100, DFARS, AMS, or ASTM experience
Forklift or crane certification
