• Build credibility with technical buyers, including plant managers and quality control contacts, in addition to purchasing

• Technical understanding of the plastics manufacturing process, colorants, or additives

• Strong communication skills and a results driven mindset

• Proficiency with Salesforce, LinkedIn, AI powered prospecting tools, and the ability to read Power BI reports

 

Requirements

• 2 or more years of professional experience, in sales or in a technical, quality, or operations role within the plastics industry
