Senior Sales Account Manager (Industrial Water Treatment)

Location: Gävle Area, Sweden

At Solenis, we support industrial customers in operating safely, efficiently, and sustainably through specialised chemical solutions.

Our work is closely connected to real operations on-site, particularly within pulp & paper and water-intensive industries, where strong EHS standards are critical. Across the Nordics, we partner with customers and field teams to ensure safe, compliant, and effective processes.

You will actively manage and expand existing customer accounts while identifying and driving new business opportunities in the local market.

In this role, you will combine long-term relationship building with technical expertise and strategic sales in an industry where quality and reliability are critical to customer success.

You take a consultative approach and use both your technical expertise and interpersonal skills to build trust with customers.

Independence and structure are natural parts of your way of working, and you are comfortable driving both customer accounts and business development initiatives forward. You are confident communicating at both operational and strategic levels, adaptable and curious, and motivated by developing business opportunities and creating long-term customer value.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical support and advisory services to customers and internal business units
• Conduct market research and analyse market trends
• Develop project plans, monitor project progress, and ensure delivery according to plan
• Participate in and follow up on local and international trade fairs, seminars, and industry events
