About MKS DevO

MKS DevO is a Turkish specialty chemicals manufacturer headquartered in Vadi İstanbul . We operate across sulfonation, phosphonation and polymerization platforms. We sell 100% from our own production to B2B customers in a wide range of industries: construction chemicals, detergents and cleaning, aviation, water treatment and water conditioning. Our customers are formulators and manufacturers worldwide, and we are expanding our global footprint.

The Role

We are looking for a high-energy Marketing & Sales Specialist who will represent MKS DevO in person across global markets. Your job is to be where our industry meets. That means trade fairs, conferences, congresses and industry events in North and South America, Europe, the Balkans, the Nordics, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East.

You will turn these events into qualified business. You will identify potential customers, meet them face to face, build relationships and carry each opportunity forward with our technical and commercial teams.

Please note: This role requires very intensive international travel. A large share of your working time will be spent abroad, often on back-to-back trips across different time zones. Please apply only if you are ready to sustain a demanding travel schedule over the long term and genuinely enjoy it.

Key Responsibilities

• Map and continuously track the global calendar of trade fairs, conferences and events relevant to our product platforms and end-markets
• Plan, prioritize and attend events worldwide, and build a pre-arranged meeting agenda for each one
• Network actively with buyers, technical managers, procurement teams and distributors
• Identify, qualify and prioritize potential customers by region and industry
• Hold face-to-face meetings and convert contacts into sampling, trials and commercial discussions
• Coordinate with our R&D, production and sales teams on customer requirements, technical questions and offers
• Report on market intelligence, including competitor activity, pricing signals, regulatory trends and emerging applications
• Keep the CRM pipeline and post-event follow-ups up to date
• Support event-related marketing: booth presence, presentations, product materials and LinkedIn visibility

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree. Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related technical field is a strong preference
• Ability to discuss chemical products and applications credibly with technical audiences
• Experience in B2B sales, business development or marketing, ideally in chemicals or industrial products
• Excellent English, written and spoken, at business and negotiation level. Additional languages (Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, etc.) are a strong plus
• Proven ability to handle a very intensive international travel schedule
• A valid passport and no restrictions on international travel
• High energy, self-motivation and comfort approaching strangers and opening doors
• Strong communication, presentation and relationship-building skills
• Organized, results-driven and able to work independently across time zones

What We Offer

• A front-line role with direct visibility to company leadership
• Global exposure across five continents and multiple industries
• Hybrid working from our Istanbul office in Vadi İstanbul when not traveling
• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives
• Full coverage of business travel expenses
• The opportunity to grow with a manufacturer expanding internationally
