  • Recruit, mentor, direct, motivate and retain technical sales team members.
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to align sales efforts with overall business objectives.
  • Use knowledge of and contacts in the polymer and plastics converting industries to catalyze relationships and sales activity.
  • Be accountable for sales budgets, forecasting and team expenses.
  • Coordinate sales team efforts with business development and marketing efforts.
  • Serve on senior business leadership team.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Engineering or related technical discipline.
  • At least 15 years of business experience within the polymer manufacturing industry.
  • At least 10 years of sales team leadership experience.
  • Executive presence and highly developed business acumen.
  • Strong understanding of polymer technology and the plastics converting value chain.
  • Well-developed industry network.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • Ability to operate at the C-level.

This a unique and exciting opportunity to join a growing organization that is on the leading edge of sustainable polymer technology.

Attractive compensation package includes an equity incentive.
