• Visit clients across the country to present our portfolio, discuss projects, and identify growth opportunities.
• Negotiate commercial terms and close sales orders aligned with company targets.
• Prepare and follow up on quotations, product samples, and technical documentation.
• Analyze market trends, customer needs, and competitor activities to support strategic decisions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Regulatory, Logistics, and Customer Service teams to ensure an excellent client experience.
• Maintain accurate records in CRM and prepare reports on customer performance and market opportunities.

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Chemistry, International Trade, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in B2B sales, account management, or customer service (preferably within Flavors, Fragrances, or Specialty Chemicals).
• Fluent in English (Spanish a strong plus).
• Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills, with a consultative and relationship-driven approach.
• Highly organized, analytical, and results-oriented.
• Willingness to travel frequently within the U.S. (approx. 30–40% of the time).
• A positive, team-oriented mindset and genuine curiosity for the F&F world.

What We Offer

• Hybrid working model: 4 days in the office and 1 day remote per week.
• An international environment that values initiative, teamwork, and continuous learning.
• A collaborative culture where people care about the work they do and the colleagues they do it with.
• Regular opportunities to travel, meet clients, and represent Ventós USA at trade fairs and industry events.
• Competitive compensation package and clear opportunities for professional growth within the global Ventós network.
