DePoly is seeking an analytically minded, technical expert to join our team as a Technical Sales Application Development Manager to grow adoption of our rPTA & rMEG products.

Strategic Reporting: Provide data-driven insights on market trends, competitive technical benchmarking, and internal project timelines to support executive decision-making.
Education: Graduate degree in Chemical/Process/Industrial Engineering or equivalent - ideally 5+ years of experience in an industrial and manufacturing setting exposed to large scale chemical production.
Technical Sales Experience: Proven experience in the chemical or plastics industry, specifically in selling innovative materials or chemical solutions where a high degree of technical validation is required before commercial adoption.
Polymerization Expertise: A hands-on understanding of polymerization processes, plastic chemistry, and material science. You must be able to hold peer-level technical discussions with the engineering and R&D teams of major industry players.
Process Understanding: Ability to analyze and communicate how proprietary materials behave in diverse production environments, and the ability to troubleshoot compatibility issues alongside customer technical teams.
Execution-Oriented: A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can take ownership of coordinating complex, cross-functional projects.
Commercial Framework Experience: Familiarity with drafting commercial documentation and legal frameworks used within the chemical industry is a big plus.
Language: Fluent in English - other languages are a plus
