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.

Are you a Builder? A Trailblazer? Ready to make a bigger impact on the business?

What if you could take your technical expertise, curiosity, and passion for innovation and turn them into a highly visible, business-critical role with unlimited earning potential?

We’re looking for someone who loves building relationships, spotting opportunities, and making things happen. Someone who wants to step beyond the lab, work directly with prestigious customers, and play a key role in driving business growth.

And here's the exciting part: You don't need previous sales experience. We particularly welcome talent from R&D who are ready to leverage their product knowledge, technical expertise, and customer curiosity in a new direction.

As a Sales Account Manager, you'll have the opportunity to build your own business, bring our value-added flavors portfolio to market, and make a measurable impact — all while enjoying a competitive base salary, uncapped bonus potential, and a comprehensive benefits package.

If you're ambitious, entrepreneurial, and ready to turn what you know into what you can achieve, this could be your next big move.

What you’ll do:

• As a Sales Account Manager, you will have the opportunity to sell our top-shelf, value-added flavors and ingredients portfolio to world-class customers in the Food Away From Home (FAFH) space.
• Focus on business development directly with Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and other national accounts for core menu item innovation.
• You will be given ownership over your sales territory with the ability to manage and grow your business. As a part of a dynamic team, you will have internal resources structured to support and ensure your success.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience and knowledge of the Food Away from Home (FAFH) value chain is a plus. Even better? Have you spent time on the bench in R&D? We’d love to hear from you! Your technical expertise could be the perfect foundation for success in this role — no sales experience required.
• A strategic approach to developing business and winning new accounts.
• The ability to navigate large accounts and partner with key decision makers for innovative new product development projects.
• The drive and passion to win!
• A college degree in business or the sciences (preferred) plus a minimum of 2+ years’ experience for this role.

What you’ll get:

• Opportunity to collaborate with your dynamic, successful colleagues.
• An excellent salary, benefit offering and development opportunities.
• A thorough and effective training experience during onboarding and beyond.
• A home office-based opportunity in the US near a major airport based in the Southeast/East Coast with 70% travel.
