I’m conducting a confidential search for a Technical Director to lead the R&D and technical operations for a manufacturer in the industrial coatings sector. This role is all about innovation, team development, and product leadership—supporting major customers while staying ahead of industry trends.

If you thrive at the intersection of chemistry, leadership, and strategy, let’s talk.

 

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading a multi-site technical team (locations include the Southeast and Upper Midwest).
  • Overseeing R&D, color development, QA, technical service/MOB, and plant-level support.
  • Setting strategy, building talent pipelines, and driving process improvements.
  • Acting as the technical bridge between customers, operations, and the marketplace.
  • Bringing a forward-thinking mindset to formulation development and performance testing.

Ideal Background & Skills:

  • 10+ years in technical leadership roles in industrial coatings or related chemical industries.
  • Deep experience in formulation chemistry, pigment dispersion, resin systems, and testing.
  • Known for building strong teams and creating high-performance lab environments.
  • Hands-on technical ability paired with clear strategic vision.

 Why It’s Worth a Conversation:

  • Competitive base + bonus
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous PTO and holiday schedule
  • Chance to lead in a growth-focused, innovation-driven environment

How to Learn More:
