Allentown, PA

Are you a Chemical Sales Representative or Technical Sales professional looking to take ownership of a specialist product line, drive growth in a niche market, and build toward leading your own team as the company scales?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a small, family-oriented specialty chemical manufacturer where you'll have real autonomy in the field, a close-knit leadership team, and a clear long-term path to building and managing your own team.

The business has developed strong formulations that compete with much larger players and has a clear goal to grow significantly over the coming years. As a result, they are now looking to hire a dedicated salesperson focused specifically on their defoamer product line.

In this role you will develop new business, build relationships across industrial customers, and run product trials on site - introducing samples, supporting testing in the customer's process, and ensuring the solution works in real-world conditions. You'll travel locally each day (typically within 100-120 miles) with no overnight stays, and you'll report activity through CRM updates.

This role would suit a self-motivated sales professional from chemical sales (or a closely related industrial sales background) who wants long-term ownership, the chance to make a direct impact on growth, and the opportunity to develop into leading and building a sales team.

The Role:

• Own sales for a specialist defoamer chemicals line, developing new accounts and contacts
• Run and support on-site product trials, working directly with customers to prove performance
• Local travel (typically 100-120 miles/day) with no overnight stays and weekly office visits for samples
• Maintain customer activity and reporting through CRM updates
• Long-term opportunity to build and manage a small sales team as the business grows

The Person:

• Sales experience, ideally within chemicals or a related industrial technical product
• Comfortable with customer site visits, trial-based selling, and a hands-on consultative approach
• Valid driver's license and happy to cover a local territory from the Pine Grove area
