Why Choose Mallory?
For more than 40 years, Mallory has provided safety expertise and supply chain efficiency, along with a broad array of safety products and solutions. We apply thought and creativity to build best-in-class solutions, and that approach has helped us quadruple in size over the last 20 years. We are the largest independently held safety distribution company, with 35+ locations and over 600 employees.
Mallory has always been family-owned and privately held. Our business is built around the customer, and we thrive by providing basic service brilliance. We offer a casual work environment, professional development and promotion opportunities. Thirty-three core values guide our intentional, employee-centric culture. We are looking for dedicated, motivated and smart people to grow with us.
About the Public Safety Team
Since 2011, Mallory has been a supplier on the OMNIA Partners Public Safety, Preparedness, Safety Equipment and Solutions cooperative contract. Police departments, sheriff's offices, fire departments, USAR and HazMat teams, public works, hospitals and universities use it to buy from Mallory without running their own bid process. For agencies working against grant deadlines and tight budgets, that is often the difference between spending the money and losing it.
Our government team sells the full public safety line (duty gear, ballistic protection, tactical and K-9 equipment, SCBA and respiratory, turnout gear, rescue and confined space, gas detection, traffic safety, emergency response equipment) along with service, repair, training and custom fire apparatus fabrication. We sell it through OMNIA and other cooperative vehicles to state, local and education (SLED) agencies across the country.
The Role
As an Account Manager on the Government team, you will grow Mallory's business with public safety and public sector agencies, with the OMNIA Partners contract as the primary vehicle. You will open new agencies, expand existing ones across departments, and move quotes through to closed orders, working closely with our Public Safety customer service team, our vendors and the OMNIA Partners field team.
This is an inside seat with a hunting component. Success here comes from outcomes: opportunities created, pipeline built, quotes won and profit earned. Activity is how you get there, not what we measure you on. Dependent on performance, the role offers career development.

Open new agencies and expand existing ones through outbound calls, email, virtual meetings and targeted outreach to chiefs, sheriffs, command staff, purchasing officers and procurement departments
