You will actively manage and expand existing customer accounts while identifying and driving new business opportunities in the local market.

In this role, you will combine long-term relationship building with technical expertise and strategic sales in an industry where quality and reliability are critical to customer success.

What We Offer:

 

At Solenis, we value our employees and consider our colleagues to be our greatest asset. We offer an independent and varied role with significant opportunities to influence both your daily work and business results.


You will have the opportunity to work with leading technology and innovative solutions alongside dedicated colleagues in an international company with strong growth and a clear sustainability agenda.
