National Account Manager
Location: Americas (Remote)
Reports to: Sr. Manager, North American Commercial Sales
Role Summary
Fluke's promise to every customer is simple: always give them a little more than they paid for. As National Account Manager, you'll bring that promise to life as the primary relationship owner for Wesco, one of Fluke's largest and most strategic distribution partners — owning account plans, digging into the data, and turning insight into measurable growth. You'll own the Wesco relationship across North America, representing over $25M in annual revenue.
This is a role built on trust and autonomy: you'll own the account end to end, with the coaching and support to grow into broader strategic account leadership over time. It also rewards curiosity — using AI-enabled tools and account data to challenge assumptions, find new angles, and turn analysis into smarter, faster growth for Wesco. This is an individual-contributor role — you'll lead through influence and cross-functional collaboration, not direct reports.
