Sales Coordinator

We prefer a candidate in the Pacific Northwest, but we'd consider other locations in the US for the right candidate. Our employees work from anywhere, but everyone on our team is currently an Oregon or Washington resident.

Cast Iron Coding is a web development firm in Portland, Oregon. We create web applications (and sites) for clients that spread knowledge and contribute to the common good. Most of our work is with universities, state governments, arts institutions, foundations, and non-profits. Sometimes, when a project helps us sharpen our skills, we work with for-profit, values-aligned companies.

We work with groups that tackle meaningful problems and work hard to elevate the design and build quality of these projects. We take great pride in that work!

Founded in 2005, we currently have a team of 14, including developers, designers, account managers, and project managers. We’re a growing company hiring talented people who are excited about the kinds of work we do. We offer our team autonomy and a respectful, transparent, and humanist management style. In return, we hold the team to high integrity, collaboration, craft, and personal accountability standards.

As a small firm, the agency partners primarily handle the sales process. One of our goals in 2025 is to add structure and process to our sales and marketing and to free up the partners so they can spend more time selling and less time on day-to-day sales tasks. To that end, we're seeking a Sales Coordinator who can provide tactical sales support to the partners and assist with growing our inbound pipeline.

The ideal candidate for this position is detail-oriented and proactive. This person will assist with maintaining our CRM, tracking and reporting on sales metrics, preparing and submitting proposals, creating contracts, facilitating our referral pipeline, and prospecting. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working with standard sales tools and experience communicating with clients.

Please read the following requirements carefully. We're willing to provide training to fill gaps for the right person, but we do need to see some demonstrable experience to consider an application.
