Description

The chemical industry is a $5 trillion giant that's never been digitized. No playbook. No reference customers. No one's done this before. Knowde solves the root problem holding the industry back: organizing and digitizing product data. Our AI-powered platform turns decades of unstructured information into clean master data in weeks, powering everything from sales to supply chain to customer experience for 8,000+ of the world's largest suppliers and distributors. We've raised over $200M from Sequoia Capital, Coatue, and other leading investors to digitally transform one of the world's largest industries. There's no template for this work.

You'll battle industry inertia, navigate 6-12 month sales cycles with executive-level decision makers, and prove that our platform is the unlock for countless initiatives and tens of millions in ROI. You'll own the full cycle—prospecting, running discovery, demoing the platform, negotiating contracts, closing deals, and driving expansion. You'll be their advisor, advocate, and the person who makes executives believe digital can win in one of the most analog industries left.
