[Hiring] Technical Sales Manager @Ravago

Role Description

Genesis Polymers is looking for a new colleague to develop our business in Poland. We are not necessarily looking for someone who already has many years of experience selling polymers. For us, understanding plastics and plastics processing is just as important as sales experience.

Your main responsibility will be to develop sales of our polymer portfolio in the Polish market. You will:

• manage and develop relationships with existing customers;
• identify and approach new potential customers;
• understand customers' applications, processes and material requirements;
• recommend suitable materials and support customers in finding the right solution;
• prepare and follow up quotations and commercial opportunities;
• negotiate prices and commercial conditions;
• work closely with our internal sales, product management and supplier teams;
• visit customers regularly throughout Poland;
• build long-term relationships rather than focus only on individual transactions;
• gradually develop your own customer portfolio and take responsibility for its growth and profitability.

Qualifications

• Experience in the plastics industry is important.
• Previous polymer sales experience is an advantage – but it is not a requirement.
• You could be a good fit if you have experience in areas such as:
• injection moulding;
• extrusion;
• compounding;
• plastics processing;
• plastics technology or application development;
• technical customer support;
• purchasing of polymers or raw materials;
• technical B2B sales.
• Knowledge of polypropylene, polyethylene or other thermoplastics is an advantage.

Requirements

• Understand how plastics processors work and what is important to them;
• Enjoy meeting customers and building relationships;
• Have a commercial mindset and are interested in developing business;
• Be proactive and comfortable working independently;
• Be willing to travel regularly within Poland;
• Speak Polish fluently;
• Have a good working knowledge of English, as you will be part of an international team.

Benefits

• The opportunity to join a growing international polymer distribution business and help build our position in Poland.
• A strong product portfolio and the support of an experienced European team.
• An existing business platform combined with significant opportunity to develop new customers.
• A high level of independence and freedom to organise your work.
• Direct contact with customers and the opportunity to build your own business within the Polish market.
• Technical and commercial support from experienced colleagues.
• Training and support during your transition into the role – particularly if you come from a technical rather than sales background.
• An attractive remuneration package consisting of a competitive fixed salary and performance-related component.
• Company car and the standard equipment required for a field-based sales position.
