  • Promote products and technical capabilities through customer-facing activities and business development efforts.
  • Respond promptly to customer inquiries and complaints while supporting customer satisfaction.
  • Maintain call reports and monthly activity summaries related to customer engagements as requested.
  • Perform all responsibilities in accordance with applicable safety, health, environmental, and quality management requirements.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering, science, or an equivalent field, and/or 5–7 years of experience working with elastomeric materials, preferably, or plastics in the automotive industry.
  • At least 5 years of experience in the automotive sector is expected.
  • Strong technical knowledge of plastics and/or rubber materials and technologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to use technical expertise to identify and develop new business opportunities.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain strong, long-term customer relationships.
  • Experience collaborating effectively with commercial and product development teams to develop strategies addressing customer and market needs.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with confidence in customer-facing environments.
  • Self-starter with a strong sense of urgency and a personable, professional approach.
  • Well organized and capable of managing multiple technical and commercial activities.
  • Proficiency with basic computer applications, including word-processing and spreadsheet software.
  • Strong time-management skills and the ability to work independently with limited support.
  • Willingness and ability to travel frequently, generally more than 50%, including potential international travel.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
