Partner with R&D and product management to match Mantrose capabilities to customer formulation challenges, from confectionery and pharmaceutical coatings to NatureSeal post-harvest treatment programs for fresh-cut produce processors.
Develop NatureSeal opportunities across produce processors and foodservice distributors, educating buyers and technical staff on shelf-life extension, browning inhibition, and food safety benefits.
Translate customer requirements into internal project briefs, ensuring cross-functional teams have the context needed to develop targeted solutions.
Market Intelligence & Strategy
Continuously gather competitive intelligence on pricing, product performance, applications, and market trends across your covered segments.
Analyze customer and market data to surface patterns, inform pricing decisions, and identify white space for product development.
Contribute to commercial strategy discussions by sharing field perspective on competitor activity, regulatory developments, and customer priorities.
Professional Development
Maintain current technical knowledge across covered application areas through industry publications, educational workshops, and participation in relevant professional societies.
Build and sustain a professional network that supports long-term business development across all covered market segments.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
Bachelor's degree in Food Science or a closely related technical discipline.
5+ years of technical sales or business development experience in food ingredients, specialty chemicals, or a directly adjacent field.
Demonstrated ability to sell on technical value: capable of diagnosing a customer application problem, proposing a solution, and supporting trials through to commercialization.
Working knowledge of the functional food ingredient space, with familiarity across at least one of the following: confections, pharma coatings, fresh produce, or nutraceuticals.
Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to both technical and procurement audiences.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and CRM platforms.
Preferred
Familiarity with NatureSeal or equivalent fresh-cut produce preservation technologies; existing relationships within produce processing or foodservice distribution are a strong plus.
R&D background with a desire to move into a fully customer-facing commercial role.
Established relationships within confectionery manufacturing, supplement/nutraceutical production, or fresh produce processing.

JOB DESCRIPTION
Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are.
After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint.
When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution.
Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.
The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today.
When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry.
Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.
As our Production Scheduler you are to coordinate and expedite the flow of work and materials within or between production departments according to the production plan by reviewing and distributing production, work, and shipment schedules; conferring with department supervisors to determine progress of work and completion dates; and compiling reports on progress of work, inventory levels, costs, and production problems.
Here's what you can expect every day:
Develop safety procedures to be employed by workers operating equipment or working in close proximity to on-going chemical reactions.
Troubleshoot problems with chemical manufacturing processes.
Evaluate chemical equipment and processes to identify ways to optimize performance or to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
Conduct research to develop new and improved chemical manufacturing processes.
Determine most effective arrangement of operations such as mixing, crushing, heat transfer, distillation, and drying.
Perform tests and monitor performance of processes throughout stages of production to determine degree of control over variables such as temperature, density, specific gravity, and pressure.
Design and plan layout of equipment.
Prepare estimate of production costs and production progress reports for management.
Design measurement and control systems for chemical plants based on data collected in laboratory experiments and in pilot plant operations.
Develop processes to separate components of liquids or gases or generate electrical currents using controlled chemical processes.
Develop working knowledge of RM and component buyer systems and responsibilities to provide backup support as needed.
From big benefits to small, we take care of our associates! After 30 days of employment, you will be eligible for a benefits package that includes medical, dental, life, disability and business travel insurance, flexible spending accounts, EAP, stock purchases and vacation/sick days/parental leave.
We also offer a 401(k) plan after three months of employment.
