We are looking for a motivated, customer-focused Account Manager to join our Geelong Sales team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving customer problems, and developing business across Geelong, surrounding regional towns, and selected areas of regional Victoria.
You will be supported by the Geelong Business Development Manager and State Sales Manager as you work with existing customers, identify new opportunities, and represent the Milestone Chemicals product range in a professional, service-focused way.
