Job description
Sika makes systems for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protection, and in Qatar the FFI-Sealing & Bonding segment needs a dedicated manager to grow it. Market analysis and industry research come first, identifying trends, customer needs and where the growth opportunities sit.

Integrated marketing and sales strategies, together with multi-channel campaigns, carry those findings into the market. Key customers, partners and stakeholders are your responsibility, with business development and retention both in view. Budgets and resources need careful allocation, and senior leadership expects clear reporting on results, market performance and ROI. Cross-functional vertical market teams depend on your support to hit Business Unit and Sika Qatar targets. Candidates need a Bachelor's in Civil, Chemical or Polymer Engineering and 5+ years in vertical market management, business development or strategic marketing within industrial or specialty chemicals, with sealing, bonding or construction materials experience and Arabic preferred.
