Corian® Design EMEA Commercial Leader

At DuPont, we are working on things that matter, whether it’s providing clean water to more than a billion people on the planet, producing materials that are essential to everyday technology devices, or protecting workers around the world.

For more than five decades, Corian® has set the global standard as one of the most versatile, durable decorative surface materials. The Corian® Design business brings the imaginations of designers and creators to life through the creation of versatile, proven decorative surfaces.

We are seeking a Senior Commercial Leader to take full ownership of the Corian® Design business in EMEA – driving sales and marketing across 20+ countries with nearly $100MM in revenue.

This role carries full accountability for commercial outcomes across sales, pricing, channel strategy, marketing, technical marketing, and talent management. While a financially rigorous role, requires a deep commitment to understanding the market and customers to deliver what it takes to win.

The selected candidate will inherit an experienced team of 40+ across multiple countries and be expected to implement meaningful organizational and structural changes within your first six months. This role reports directly to Corian® Design Global Business Director.
