Sales and Technical Marketing Manager at I-Tech // Göteborg

I-Tech is a bio-technology company based in Mölndal, Sweden that owns all IP and regulatory rights to the antifouling agent Selektope®. Selektope® is a bio-repellent ingredient for marine coatings that offers superior hard fouling prevention performance for ships. With a first of its kind mode of action in marine coatings, this product protects ship hulls from barnacle settlement - we call it re-thinking fouling prevention! Our vision is to establish Selektope® as the leading alternative biocide to prohibit marine growth in an effective and sustainable way.

We´re now looking for you who wants to continue the journey of our product and company values in order to make a long-term change in an industry that accounts for more than 90% of global transport. Would you like to join us?

About the position as Sales and Technical Marketing Manager
We are looking for an energetic and bold player to our team, to hold the responsibilities of expanding and supporting the sales of our product Selektope® within the global marine coatings industry. In this role, you will grow sales through the successful management of existing accounts, as well as develop new accounts in new end user companies. We believe you are accustomed to sophisticated and technical sales processes and with an appetite to create a shift in trends and contribute to sustainable operations in shipping. An important aspect to succeed in this role will be your ability to also interact with various stakeholders that influence decisions on marine coating selection and working jointly with the team to create a pull effect on the market.
