- Due to the complexity of chemical legislation, it is important that you learn easy as you will be dealing both with very skilled experts and with contacts that are still new to the task of creating SDS.
- Experience with B2B sales and a sales profile that matches complex software and some long sales cycles.
- Ideally degree educated
