Our innovative products help customers create new products and enhance the performance of existing ones in industries such as coatings, construction, adhesives, textiles, paper, and nitrile medical gloves.

Our Growth Strategy

We have expanded our global manufacturing network through strategic acquisitions, such as Eastman Adhesive Resins and Omnova Solutions.

Our operational headquarters is located in London, UK, and we provide customer-focused services from regional centers in Harlow, UK; Marl, Germany; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Beachwood, Ohio, USA.

The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Distribution Sales Specialist to support business growth through the distribution channel in Europe. The successful candidate will work closely with the European Distribution Manager to manage sales through our network of distribution partners. This role will have direct responsibility for a number of distribution partners in the region.

  • Support the interviewing process for new distribution candidates and ensure all current distributors meet our rating criteria.
  • Collaborate with the Head of Global Distribution to analyze global distribution performance monthly, comparing it to forecast and budget to highlight any gaps and business losses. Prepare reports, budgets, and ensure proper record-keeping practices to measure productivity or goal achievement or identify areas for improvement for each distribution partner.
  • Prepare a monthly report with the European Distribution Manager to report distributor performance back to the Coatings and Construction Solutions business unit.
  • Ensure up-to-date information in the CRM database for all European distributors, including writing visit reports, managing the opportunity pipeline, and ensuring data relevance.
