Join a global leader in chemical distribution, where innovation meets opportunity. As an Account Manager in the Industrial Business Unit, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping the future of agrochemicals (80%) and water treatment (20%) across the UK and Europe.

What You’ll Do

• Own and grow a portfolio of industrial clients, delivering tailored solutions and driving profitability.

• Spot opportunities and convert leads into long-term partnerships, promoting a diverse, high-quality product range.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers and technical experts to deliver innovative solutions.

• Build trust with customers and suppliers through regular virtual and in-person engagement.

• A degree in a scientific discipline (ideally Chemistry) or equivalent industry experience.

• A proactive, self-starting mindset with a passion for building relationships and solving problems.

• Strong analytical skills and a data-driven approach to sales strategy.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills—comfortable with stakeholders at all levels.

• CRM-savvy (Salesforce preferred) and confident with Microsoft Office tools.

• You must have the right to work in the UK with a full UK driving licence (sponsorship is not available)

Why Join?

• Be part of a multinational powerhouse with a collaborative, forward-thinking culture.

• Work with best-in-class suppliers and a cutting-edge product portfolio.

• Enjoy autonomy and support in equal measure, with clear paths for development.

• Make a tangible difference in sectors that matter—sustainability, agriculture, and clean water.

• Excellent salary

• Car Allowance
