Sulzer ist ein führendes Ingenieurunternehmen mit einer stolzen Tradition der Innovation. Werden Sie Teil unseres
globalen Teams, um Ihr Fachwissen zu erweitern und innovative Lösungen zu entwickeln, die eine prosperierende und

Was Sie erwartet
Become a key driver in scaling innovative bioplastic applications and pushing sustainable material solutions into
mainstream markets. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on creativity, enjoys shaping narratives around new
technologies, and loves engaging with people across industries. If you’re excited by the challenge of bringing advanced
materials from concept to commercial success—and want to help accelerate the shift to more sustainable plastics—this is
the opportunity for you.
Your main tasks and responsibilities:
Sales Strategic Application Development & R&D Collaboration
-
Work with the sales and R&D teams to define and prioritize strategic applications.
-
Bring customer and market insights to guide application focus and commercial relevance.
-
Ensure alignment between technical development and commercial needs.
Customer Identification & Engagement
-
Identify and approach potential customers suited for application development or partnership activities.
-
Introduce company capabilities, coordinate discussions, and support early‐stage opportunity development.
-
Explore collaboration or off‐take possibilities where appropriate.
Partnership Development
-
Build partnerships across target sectors such as packaging, agriculture, textiles, and automotive.
-
Support discussions, negotiations, and development of JDAs and other collaborative frameworks.
Market & Opportunity Analysis
-
Conduct market assessments to identify trends, competitive dynamics, and new opportunities.
-
Evaluate commercial potential of new applications, including biopolymers and copolymers.
Customer Relationship Management
-
Maintain strong relationships with existing customers and ensure ongoing satisfaction.
-
Support technical and commercial interactions during application development projects.
Reporting & Documentation
-
Prepare regular activity and pipeline reports.
-
Maintain accurate documentation of customer interactions, agreements, and project progress.
To succeed in this role, you will need:
-
Degree in Chemical Engineering, Material Engineering/Science, Chemistry, or a related technical field.
-
2+ years of experience in the polymer, chemical, or materials industry is preferred, but strong technical
understanding from adjacent fields is also acceptable.
-
Open to candidates coming from sales in a similar field, technical roles with polymer/material expertise, or
individuals without sales experience but with strong technical capability and a natural talent for
relationship‐building.
-
Knowledge of polymers, materials, or processing technologies is required; an industry network is a plus but not
essential.
-
Ability to build strong relationships across all levels—from operations to executive leadership.
-
Strong presentation, communication, and customer‐facing skills.
-
Proficiency with Microsoft Office; CRM experience (preferably Microsoft Dynamics).
-
A mix of entrepreneurial thinking, executive presence, high drive, and natural curiosity.
-
Ability to understand market and customer needs and translate them into meaningful opportunities.
-
Willingness to travel internationally (25%–50%).
