  • Own and manage a high volume of Request for Quotes (RFQs) for buyers, ensuring timely delivery of multiple high-quality quotes for each requested material 
  • Assess supplier landscape to identify and select appropriate suppliers for requested materials  
  • Engage with new suppliers to confirm material availability and secure competitive quotes  
  • Facilitate communication between suppliers and buyers regarding product specifications, samples and delivery terms  
  • Validate the quality and accuracy of quotes and supplier-submitted data  
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with existing suppliers already active on the Valdera platform  
  • Onboard new suppliers onto the Valdera platform ensuring a smooth and frictionless integration experience 
  • Maintain thorough documentation of product availability, supplier communication and sourcing activity 
Experience & Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in the chemical industry  
  • Bachelor's degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or natural science  
  • 5+ years of experience in sourcing, technical sales, business development, partnership, or management consulting  
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct supply market assessments and identify suppliers for specific chemicals / raw materials  
  • Extensive knowledge of chemicals / raw materials and relevant technical expertise in reviewing RFQs (TDS, SDS, COA, etc.).  
  • Ability to identify alternate or offset materials by reviewing technical documentation and product chemistry. 
  • Experience in establishing and managing strong supplier relationships 
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills to build trust and rapport with suppliers 
  • Capable of creating structured plans, tracking steps, and managing multiple priorities effectively
Salary Range:
Salary ranges are determined by multiple factors, including the labor market, market compensation bands, internal parity, and budget considerations. The final offer will be based on the candidate's individual skills, qualifications, location, and experience relative to the requirements of the role.
Benefits:
Valdera offers generous benefits to employees. You will be provided a more detailed breakdown of your options prior to joining Valdera.
