Chemical Products Manager

We are looking for a chemist to manage our materials catalogue and apply their chemistry expertise in a business setting.

About the Role

For over a decade, Ossila has been a major supplier of high-quality polymer and small molecule semiconducting materials to our customers worldwide. Until recently, our materials catalogue had been focused on the end-users, primarily physicists and engineers. We are now seeing increased demand for intermediates and building blocks from research chemists performing synthesis.

As a Chemical Products Manager, you will:

• Be the first point of contact within the materials teams for customer queries.
• Take responsibility for procuring and maintaining adequate stock levels for nearly 1000 materials, so that orders can be fulfilled quickly.
• Manage the supply chain and work with suppliers to build on existing relationships.
• Act as a bridge between our technical materials team and our professional customer support team.
• Assist in product development to bring new materials to market.
• Manage all relevant product procurement data.

As part of a small and fast-growing company, you will work both collaboratively and independently. When required, you will work under your own initiative and take responsibility to solve problems.
