About you
About you
You have experience from the engineering/chemistry-preferably Coatings/Adhesive/Plastic/Rubber sector (perhaps in R&D or in a lab) and a few years of business experience and are now curious to develop more towards the commercial side. With your deeper knowledge in technology, your ability and curiosity to solve problems, you will be a good technical support to the sales team but above all you will be able to see new business opportunities!
You are result-focused, persistent and enjoy both product development and meeting with customers, where you will have an opportunity to present the new products and concepts. Your focus will therefore be both towards the customer, the market and the materials and you need to be both sales-oriented, have a financial mind and good communication skills. Negotiating is a skill you possess or are curious to develop.
As you will be working in an international environment, communication in English is important both verbally and in written form.
Knowledge in ERP and CRM systems is meritorious.
