Position description

Remote position - New England/East Coast preferred

If you want to make the world a better home and discover your greatest potential, Saint-Gobain provides one-of-a-kind opportunities for innovative problem solvers.

We're one of only two companies in the world that is consistently recognized as both a top Global Employer and a Top 100 Global Innovator, but Saint-Gobain's remarkable story and culture of innovation begins with a team of nearly 200,000 creative, diverse and passionate team members collaborating across the globe. We are committed to our mission to improve lives because, every day, we witness the enormous impact of our efforts on the world around us.

Where are our solutions making an impact? If you look beyond the skies, you will see our seals in space rockets that were instrumental in man’s first steps on the moon or our materials on the Curiosity rover that is still discovering the beauty of Mars. We are also in places of care that are hidden such as microsurgical tools or insulin pumps where tiny seals are less than a millimeter but still very mighty. At home, we provide everyday comforts, powering your dryers, dishwashers, blenders and coffee machines. Ready to explore what we can do together?

This Business Development Manager position is “a seasoned coach,” who will lead the team in the commercial transportation industry. Passionate about building and implementing a global strategy? Consider yourself a great tactician? This job is for you!

You will be responsible for developing and executing a global business strategy for the Automotive Polymer Solutions’ (APS) metal seals team. Your goals are to achieve growth targets and coordinate activities to identify new opportunities of development, especially within new drive systems for trucks and race cars.

The transportation industry is reinventing itself: this is a once-in-a-generation moment to be part of a technical revolution. Help us find the best solutions for our customers and the role we can play in new automotive technologies.
