**Your Job**:
You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference.

Working with an existing customer base, you will be tasked to add sales breadth to your portfolio as well as identify, pipeline and win new clients to KCP. You will work in partnership with our distributor management team to develop strong relationships with targeted clients, working in parallel to jointly close sales when relevant.
