Job Description

Sales Account Manager, Agricultural Ingredients, SoCal and Japan

Hard work lives here. So does high reward. If that’s you, let’s talk!

At Sensient Technologies, we are experts in the science, art and innovation of color and flavor. We are market savvy and visionary. We are problem solvers. And we will be better with you.

Own Your Territory. Accelerate Growth. Make an Impact.

Looking for a sales role where your sense of urgency, relationship-building skills, and drive to win can make a real difference?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a high-potential territory spanning SoCal and Japan, working with established customers while uncovering new opportunities to drive meaningful business growth. You’ll have the chance to shape customer partnerships, bring innovative products to market, and influence our success in key markets around the world.

We’re looking for a responsive, proactive professional who thrives on moving quickly, solving customer needs, and turning opportunities into results. Deep industry experience isn’t essential—we value your sales foundation, adaptability, and relentless drive to win. Success in this role means combining commercial acumen with the cultural awareness needed to build trusted relationships in Japan and across a diverse customer base.

What you'll do:

  • Build trusted customer partnerships by developing relationships with key decision-makers across Research & Development, Product Development, Purchasing, and senior leadership.
  • Drive growth and win new business by identifying unmet customer needs, uncovering opportunities, and developing strategies that turn prospects into long-term, profitable partnerships.
  • Deliver exceptional customer value by positioning SAI as a trusted resource for product functionality, flavor and taste performance, product safety, and reliable on-time, in-full delivery.
  • Lead strategic customer initiatives by collaborating with technical teams, supporting long-term development projects, and executing programs that strengthen customer loyalty, retention, and SAI’s market reputation.
  • Turn insights into action by analyzing customer trends, market dynamics, and competitor offerings to identify opportunities, resolve service or product issues, and develop strategies that drive sales growth.

What You’ll Bring

  • A drive to win: You bring a strong sense of urgency, a proactive mindset, and the motivation to turn opportunities into results.
  • A foundation in sales and communication: Some sales experience is preferred, along with strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills that help you build lasting customer relationships.
  • Confidence with contracts and technology: You’re comfortable working with contracts and pricing, have strong computer skills, and bring bonus points for experience with Salesforce and Power BI.
  • Flexibility and a team-first mindset: You can work independently, collaborate effectively with colleagues, and travel extensively to customers across the United States, with 70%+ travel required.
  • Curiosity, empathy, and adaptability: You’re eager to learn, understand customer needs, and build your skills through frequent in-person collaboration at our Turlock, California facility. This is a travel-based role, not a home-office position.

What you’ll get:

  • Opportunity to collaborate with your colleagues in your business unit and beyond.
  • No sales experience required. If you’ve got the drive to win, a curious mind, and lead with empathy, this is the career break you’ve been waiting for.
  • An excellent salary, benefit offering and development opportunities
  • A thorough and effective training experience during onboarding and beyond

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.
