Business Development Manager - Chemical Industry
We help both small and large businesses take the complexity out of moving and shipping hazardous materials to make the world a safer place. What are hazardous materials? They are things you deal with every day, like lithium batteries in cars and in computers, paints, varnishes, air bags, chemicals and more. And if they are shipped incorrectly, they can cause a lot of damage.
How do we help the world become safer? We sell and manufacture new and innovative products, develop technology and consult for every industry – such as manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, transportation, food and beverages and other businesses. While not too many people know about dangerous goods, we think it is really cool and we think you might have fun with us as we re-invent our ourselves and expand into new markets.
Our Chemical Industry Business Development Manager’s primary duties include identifying business opportunities, building and maintaining successful relationships with prospects and existing clients, collaborating with executives on business strategy to determine objectives, evaluating current business performance and maximizing business reach potential in market or base.
