About ChemREADY

ChemREADY is a growing, customer-first water treatment company headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio.

We specialize in chemical programs and technical services for cooling towers, boilers, closed-loop, wastewater systems, dewatering, and related industrial applications.

We operate across a multi-state territory and are expanding our footprint in the industrial, institutional, commercial, municipal, and energy sectors. This is an opportunity to join a nimble, technically driven team where your success directly impacts the company's growth.

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Business Development Manager to drive new customer acquisition across ChemREADY's water treatment, wastewater treatment, and water safety business lines.

• Work collaboratively with service technicians and technical specialists during evaluations and implementation
• Identify cross-selling opportunities across ChemREADY's water treatment and wastewater service offerings
• Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline activity, forecasting, and sales reporting
• Represent ChemREADY at industry events, customer meetings, and trade associations

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of successful business development or outside sales experience
• Proven track record of prospecting, developing, and closing new business
• Strong consultative selling and relationship-building skills

• Highly self-motivated with strong organizational and territory management skills
• Comfortable working independently in a remote field-based role
• Experience using CRM software (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel throughout the assigned territory

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience selling industrial water treatment chemicals, wastewater treatment solutions, environmental services, industrial equipment, or technical services
• Existing relationships within manufacturing, food & beverage, chemical processing, municipal, energy, or industrial facilities
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Familiarity with cooling towers, boilers, wastewater treatment, dewatering, or industrial process systems
• Experience selling recurring service agreements or contract-based solutions
