This position is suited for an early-career professional (1–3 years of polymer sales experience) who is motivated to develop within a fast-growing company and contribute to expanding our market presence. This role requires a self-starter with strong initiative who can independently identify opportunities, engage prospects, and close deals with minimal reliance on the founders or technical experts.

  • Continuously improve sales skills through feedback and training.
  • EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

  • 1–3 years’ experience in polymer or materials sales, with a proven track record of strong performance (consistently among the top performers); polyolefin sales experience a plus.
  • Demonstrated experience in executive-level sales to large and / or global companies.
  • Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, polymers, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience (5+ years) also considered.
  • SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

  • Strong technical selling skills and executive presence.
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and presentation abilities.
  • Proficiency with MS Office and CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Monday.com).
  • Highly motivated, target-driven, and customer-service oriented.
  • Exceptional prioritization, time management, and organizational skills.
  • Team player with strong interpersonal skills and openness to feedback.
  • CULTURAL & MOTIVATIONAL FIT
