About the Company
Elgin Die Mold is a world class manufacturer with deep roots in automotive manufacturing, known for precision injection molding, complex assemblies, operational discipline, and zero defect manufacturing systems.
Several years ago, ownership acquired Trident Manufacturing, a medical device contract manufacturer specializing in Class I and Class II devices. By applying the low cost, high discipline, zero defect methodologies of automotive manufacturing into the medical device space, Trident quickly became a trusted supplier to major medical OEMs.
As Trident grew, customers repeatedly asked if they could also source molded components and subassemblies directly from Elgin Die Mold. Today, multiple large medical OEMs have added Elgin Die Mold into their supply chain.
Elgin Die Mold has now achieved ISO 13485 certification and is aggressively expanding its medical device presence.
This role exists to help accelerate that growth.
Job Summary
Elgin Die Mold is looking for a high energy business development professional to help expand our rapidly growing medical device division.
This is not an account management role. This is a true hunting position for someone who loves the chase, thrives on cold outreach, and has the confidence and personality to open doors with major medical device OEMs.
We are not looking for a “journeyman salesperson” managing old relationships. We are looking for someone highly driven, polished, competitive, intelligent, and naturally gifted at building relationships and telling a compelling story.
Responsibilities
- Prospect and cold call medical device OEMs nationwide
- Generate meetings and opportunities with engineering, sourcing, and operations teams
- Tell the Elgin Die Mold and Trident story in a compelling way

Experience
- We are open to backgrounds.
- You may be early in your career, but you must have exceptional communication skills, strong presence, high ambition, and the ability to earn trust quickly.
- Medical device experience is helpful but not required. We can teach the industry. We cannot teach hunger, personality, work ethic, and natural sales ability.
Compensation
- Base salary plus aggressive commission structure.
- Strong long term upside for the right person.
Why This Is Different
This is an opportunity to get in early with a company that already has credibility, manufacturing infrastructure, certifications, and real momentum in medical device manufacturing.
