OEM Account Manager Livorsi Marine is a Grayslake, IL-based manufacturer of precision marine instrumentation, controls, and accessories trusted by boat builders across the industry. From gauges and steering wheels to throttle controls and custom OEM solutions, our products are specified by some of the most demanding manufacturers on the water. We build for performance, durability, and the exacting standards that serious builders require. We're looking for a driven, technically-minded OEM Sales Representative to grow Livorsi Marine's relationships with boat builders and manufacturers. Based at our Grayslake facility, you'll work directly with OEM customers from initial contact through production integration — bringing new products to their lines and making sure every project lands on time and on spec. This is a hands-on role for someone who knows the marine industry, loves being on the water and in the shop, and has the sales instincts to open doors in markets we haven't yet reached.

  • Drive direct sales of Livorsi Marine products to boat builders, dealers, marine distributors, and select non-marine OEM customers
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities, building relationships with prospective customers from first contact through long-term partnership

  • Act as project liaison from design to delivery — coordinating with our internal engineering and production teams to manage timelines and ensure customer expectations are met or exceeded
