We are looking for an Account Manager to join our team - general chemicals

What does an Account Manager do at Univar Solutions?Your responsibility is to develop a portfolio of 100 Swedish companies with various purchasing behavior. In some cases that means identifying new customer needs, in some cases you focus on increased volumes or yet other cases you help them have an excellent purchasing experience from order to delivered goods. In all cases your mission is to strengthen the relationship, so they always choose Univar Solutions as their primary source of ingredients and chemicals.

Aside from that, there will also be ample opportunity for prospecting and creating new business. Naturally, what you will be primarily measured on is the amount of activity.

Who might you be?

We think that you have at least a couple of years work experience. This could be from sales or other experience with customer interaction. Although chemicals and ingredients may sound complicated and hard, the focus of this position (competence wise) is rather on the development of the customer relationship.

If you have a background from the chemical- food or similar industry, and no sales experience, this could be a possibility for you to make a career move. You will bring your strong ability to build relationships and we will provide the necessary coaching.

Either way, being curious is always a great trait, and probably makes the job more interesting.
To be successful in this job, we expect you to be alert, disciplined, a fast learner, and curious. You probably have experience in setting goals for yourself and working at it until you reach those goals, what is commonly called grit.

What else? Since communication is key to this position, full professional proficiency in Swedish is a requirement, as well as confidence in English (written and spoken).

What does the team look like?

In the business unit you will find a team of 12 people based in Malmö, Gothenburg, and Oslo. 8 of them are in the sales team. At the office in Malmö, you find the Nordic headquarter with 80 colleagues in different business units and teams. We have a wide variety of backgrounds and span all generations of the current job market.

What Univar Solutions offers you

A global brand with market leading chemicals and ingredients, a portfolio of customers that may be small by Univar standards but may still be big companies in their own business sector. We offer a chance to start your professional career in a mature company dedicated to the development of our people. We are on a mission to keep our communities healthy, fed, clean, and safe.
