Sales Manager, Sales representative

Sales Representative / Sales Manager — Electric Vehicles (LSV & Golf Carts)

TAGO EV INC | Full-Time | Ongoing / Always Hiring Territory: Southeast U.S. (Florida-focused) — Georgia · South Carolina · Florida

About TAGO EV — Why This Opportunity Is Different

TAGO EV INC is the U.S. subsidiary of SMI Innovation, one of South Korea's top three electric golf cart and LSV manufacturers. SMI Innovation's parent, SD Nexphere (formerly Sandong Metal Industry), has manufactured and supplied high-pressure valves for oil and gas drilling operations — including U.S. shale gas extraction — for over 20 years. This is not a startup story. It is a track record of precision engineering, sustained U.S. market presence, and the financial strength to back a long-term commitment.

TAGO EV entered the U.S. market about a year ago. Our South Carolina facility is operational, and we've spent the past year building our dealer network and growing sales across the Southeast. We are early — and that is exactly the point. The organization behind TAGO EV has committed its full resources to U.S. LSV manufacturing and distribution. The backing is real, the infrastructure is in place, and leadership is fully aligned. What we need now are the right people on the ground.

And we're just getting started. Within the next two years, our goal is to bring production home — we are actively partnering with U.S.-based manufacturers to build TAGO carts as a true Made-in-USA product. That means the person we hire today won't just be selling a great cart; you'll be helping launch an American-made one. It's a rare chance to grow with a brand from the ground up.

We hire on a rolling basis. If you're the right fit, we want to hear from you — regardless of the calendar.

Who We're Looking For — Please Read Before Applying

We are looking for sales professionals who already understand how vehicle and dealer-based businesses work. To make sure we connect with the right candidates, please review the following:

Strongly preferred:

Direct sales experience in golf carts, LSVs, or electric vehicles — this is the ideal background and will receive top priority.

Welcome to apply:

Sales professionals from closely related vehicle industries — RV/recreational vehicles, powersports, automotive, agricultural/utility vehicles, marine, or similar dealer-network-driven products. If you've sold vehicles or equipment through a dealer or distributor channel, your experience likely translates well here.

Please reconsider before applying:

We respect every sales background, but this role lives and breathes the vehicle dealer world. If your sales experience is in an unrelated industry with no connection to vehicle, equipment, or dealer-based sales, this particular role likely won't be the right match — and we'd rather be upfront about that than waste your time.

In short: if you know vehicles, dealers, and how to move units — let's talk.

Location Preference

While the territory covers Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, the near-term focus of sales activity will be concentrated in Florida — one of the highest-density markets in the country for LSVs, golf communities, and retirement neighborhoods. Candidates based in Florida are strongly preferred, but those based in Georgia or nearby Southeast states who can work the Florida market freely are also encouraged to apply.

What You Bring

Sales experience in vehicles, equipment, or a dealer/distributor-driven industry (see "Who We're Looking For" above)
