• Identify, prioritize, and engage target customers, including petrochemical producers, refiners, investors, and project developers.
• Monitor investment drivers, market trends, feedstock dynamics, and policy developments across India.

• Establish trusted executive and technical relationships with decision-makers across operating companies, project sponsors, investors, EPC contractors, and technology partners.
• Position ECI early in the project lifecycle, influencing project development before technology selections are finalized.

• Evaluate opportunities based on strategic fit, technical readiness, financial viability, and execution probability.
• Define technology positioning, competitive strategy, and partnership approaches to maximize project success.
• Collaborate with technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders to advance opportunities through the sales cycle.

• Support development of licensing strategies and commercial structures for major projects.
• Contribute to negotiations involving license agreements, technical services, and commercial terms.
• Partner closely with internal and external stakeholders to secure project awards.

• Build and manage a robust regional opportunity pipeline.
• Drive opportunities from origination through qualification, concept development, FEED, and award.
• Achieve order intake objectives and expand ECI's presence within strategic accounts.

• 10–15+ years of experience within the polyolefins and petrochemical industry.
• Proven success in technology licensing, project development, or major project sales.
• Demonstrated ability to originate and advance large-scale capital projects valued at more than $100 million.
• Established personal network with direct access to decision-makers within Indian petrochemical producers, refiners, and project developers.
• Strong track record of creating opportunities rather than simply responding to tenders.
• Deep understanding of India's refining and petrochemical landscape, including major industry participants and refining-to-chemicals integration trends.

• Experience working with licensors, EPC contractors, or project developers.
• Exposure to joint ventures and partnership structures.
• Strong understanding of regional investment dynamics and market development trends.

You are a strategic relationship builder with the credibility to engage C-suite leaders and the commercial instincts to identify opportunities before competitors. You understand how major capital projects are conceived, funded, and executed, and you know how to position technology solutions that create value for customers and partners alike.
