<span><span color="#e1000f">About this Position
At Henkel, you’ll be part of an organization shaping the future through innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.

This role supports Henkel’s Downstream IPR portfolio, including Stopaq, CSNRI Composites, Mascoat, Highland, and U.S. Coatings. The position is highly technical and field‑focused, responsible for driving specification‑based sales through education, demonstration, and value‑based selling to contractors, distributors, and asset owners.

- Gather market intelligence on competitors, applications, and customer needs
What makes you a good fit

Personal Attributes
- Field‑oriented, self‑motivated, and comfortable working independently
- Curious, coachable, and comfortable being challenged technically
