We are seeking a dynamic, results‑driven Industrial Sales Leader to define and execute our sales vision across the Americas region. This role covers the full spectrum of Chemelex Industrial sales – channel, direct operations and indirect. The position encompasses sales of both projects and products, requiring a strategic approach to diverse market demands. Success requires a proven ability to penetrate new verticals, drive profitable growth, and build a high‑performing sales team in a complex, multi‑channel environment.

The ideal candidate combines deep knowledge of industrial, commercial, and residential sales with the agility to manage diverse markets. They bring a network of industry relationships, a hunter's drive to win new business, and the leadership skills to develop talent and scale results.

• Own the Americas growth agenda – with a primary emphasis on accelerating US market share – while ensuring profitable, sustainable growth across the entire Americas.
• Architect the region's go‑to‑market across industrial channels: define segmentation, coverage, partner strategy, and resourcing to balance topline growth with margin expansion.
• Lead, coach, and develop a geographically dispersed sales team, including regional managers, account executives, and channel partners, creating a culture of accountability, excellence, and continuous growth.
• Set enterprise‑level sales rhythms – forecast accuracy, pipeline hygiene, price & margin governance – and align tightly and collaboratively with SIOP and Finance.
• Sponsor growth into new verticals and geographies; remove barriers and marshal cross‑functional resources to land marquee wins.
• Establish executive relationships with strategic distributors, EPCs, contractors, and end users; negotiate regional frameworks and hold partners accountable for performance.
• You actively seek customers' true needs and priorities, and you coach your team to approach every opportunity with a customer‑focused perspective, so that solutions and sales approaches consistently reflect what matters most to clients.
• Represent the Americas in corporate operating cadences (QBRs, AOP, launch readiness); translate corporate strategy into regional operating plans with measurable outcomes.
• Partner cross‑functionally (Marketing, Product, Operations, Finance) to align sales campaigns, new product introductions, and delivery excellence region‑wide.

• An enterprise‑scale sales leader who leads leaders across countries and time zones, balancing near‑term bookings with long‑term market development.
• A US market accelerator with a track record of creating top‑line, profitable growth gains while sustaining momentum in adjacent regions.
• Commercially rigorous: fluent in pipeline math, price/mix, and margin expansion – and comfortable engaging at the C‑Suite and Executive level to shape outcomes.
• A systems thinker and change leader who designs operating mechanisms, coaches to capability, and scales culture.
• Customer obsessed and cross‑cultural, able to align diverse teams and partners behind a single plan of record.
• A role model for Chemelex values: empathetic, exploratory, impactful, an example for others.

• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or related field preferred.
