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. But if that's what makes it interesting to you, keep reading. The Reality You'll convince chemical companies that have operated the same way for 50+ years to actually use the platform they bought. Not just sign the contract—actually change how they work. You're partnering with C-Suite officers to teach and enable their executives and teams to finally leverage data to execute against their toughest business initiatives. You'll diagnose where the greatest opportunities reside, proactively identify obstacles to adoption, and develop strategies to deliver successful outcomes. You own the customer relationship, from adoption to renewals and expansion. You'll spend 25% of your time on-site running workshops, uncovering new use cases, and proving that a stronger data foundation is the key to improving operations and outpacing their competition. What You'll Do Own the full customer relationship—understand their transformation and digital agenda, align Knowde to deliver, and be the person they call when things need to move Drive adoption of our platform by evangelizing digitally-enabled processes and winning executive buy-in to hit new milestones Manage your book of business—renewals, proving ROI, storytelling impact, and making sure they see the value before the contract comes up Influence mature organizations to act—you're consulting C-suite and VP executives on how data underpins their most important initiatives, not just answering support tickets Uncover expansion opportunities through on-site workshops and strategic engagement (~25% travel) Act as trusted advisor across the customer organization—from technical teams to executives—and find where Knowde's platform creates the most business impact About You Must-haves: You take extreme ownership Direct exposure to transformation initiatives, particularly large scale data and system integration projects Track record of managing executive relationships—you’re comfortable and confident engaging VPs and C-suite as peers Ability to explain complex technical issues and their impact on the broader business initiative in simple terms, adapt your tone and framing depending on who's in the room Proven ability to manage multiple accounts and stakeholder relationships at once without dropping the ball 4-year degree (STEM or Business preferred) Bonus points: Experience in the chemicals industry (supplier, distributor, consulting, or professional services) or other industrial/manufacturing sectors You've led digital transformation projects in industrial or outdated markets that required convincing skeptical organizations to change You’ve implemented technical data or software solutions, particularly ones where adoption is the hardest part You’ve got sales experience and are familiar with the mindset and tactics required to not only evangelize a solution, but to actually develop a business case and commercial intent You'll Win Here If You demonstrate ownership before being given responsibility You get energized by the challenge of changing minds, not just checking boxes You're comfortable being the person who has to prove ROI when executives ask tough questions You can influence without authority—getting teams to adopt new processes when they're skeptical You're willing to travel 25% of the time to lead onsites, develop relationships, and prove value in person You want to be part of driving an entire industry forward, not just hitting a retention number You'll Fail Here If You don’t like being challenged You’re not a self-guided learner, or aren’t interested in studying the industry you work in You need a fully-built playbook and can't figure things out when there's no template You're uncomfortable having hard conversations with executives about why adoption isn't happening You’re ok with letting the customer figuring it out on their own You're looking for a low-touch, remote-only customer success role Politics, complaining, or "that's not my job" is in your vocabulary You're not willing to travel or get on-site when it matters most Pay Range The pay range for this role is $150,000-$180,000 + annual bonus Equity: Yes, there is equity associated with this role Benefits Medical, dental, and vision plans designed to fit you and your family 401K program Education & learning stipend Fully remote Flexible vacation time Paid parental leave Learn More About Knowde Visit our marketplace: knowde.com/marketplace Read about our mission: knowde.com/about Our Culture We have a mission that matters. We move fast, take ownership, and don't make excuses. If you carry a chip and want to prove something, you'll fit right in. If you're looking for comfort and predictability, you won't. We're building a team as diverse as the industry we're transforming. Different perspectives make us better. We welcome applicants of any educational background, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, citizenship, socioeconomic status, disability, and veteran status.
