Job Description

Our client is a privately owned company in the chemical manufacturing industry. Why does privately owned matter? Decisions can be made for the long term and the big picture, not for the quarterly board meeting. This is a medium size organization where everyone has access to leadership. This is a chance to shine. It's also not a place you can hide. This is a corporate role that will provide support to the US manufacturing facilities. Opportunities for growth can take you where you want, whether that remains in corporate or into plant leadership. This role offers a hybrid option, including 3 days in the office and up to 2 days working from home. Travel is a part of this job, as much as 30%, depending on project stage.
