The Role
You'll drive adoption and value realization for chemical companies that have purchased Knowde—not just signed contracts, but actual transformation in how they work. You'll partner with C-suite officers to teach and enable their teams to leverage data to execute against their toughest business initiatives.
This role requires deep experience with transformation initiatives, particularly large-scale data and system integration projects. 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, spending approximately 25% of your time on-site running workshops, uncovering new use cases, and proving that a stronger data foundation improves operations and competitive positioning.

Drive Platform Adoption
- Evangelize digitally-enabled processes and win executive buy-in to hit new adoption milestones
- Consult with C-suite and VP executives on how data underpins their most important initiatives

Manage Your Book of Business

- Ensure customers see and understand value well before contract renewal discussions
- Uncover expansion opportunities through strategic engagement and on-site workshops
- Manage multiple accounts and stakeholder relationships simultaneously without dropping commitments
Influence Organizational Change

You'll stand out if you have:
- Experience in the chemicals industry (supplier, distributor, consulting, or professional services) or other industrial/manufacturing sectors
- Led digital transformation projects in industrial or traditional markets that required convincing skeptical organizations to change
- Implemented technical data or software solutions where adoption was the hardest part
