Materials Specialist - packaging, paper & polymers

Salary €3,500 - €4,000

Measurlabs is a growth-stage company delivering scientific laboratory analyses, materials characterization, and testing services to international clients in 70+ countries. We collaborate with a global network of hundreds of partner laboratories, bringing best-in-class testing services within easy reach of our customers.

Almost every company developing, manufacturing, or importing physical products relies on laboratory testing—whether for R&D, quality control, regulatory compliance, or certification. At Measurlabs, we simplify this complexity. Our clients gain access to a vast catalog of testing services, supported by approachable, solution-oriented technical experts who help them solve real-world measurement challenges efficiently and reliably.


The Role

We are looking for a proactive, sales-driven Packaging, Paper, and Polymer Materials Specialist to join our team. This is a permanent position based in Vallila, Helsinki.

In this role, you will support clients engaged in R&D for novel materials and help ensure the regulatory compliance of existing packaging materials and polymers. You will do this by selling and coordinating laboratory testing services. Acting as a key link between our clients and our partner laboratories, you will ensure that testing needs are accurately identified and efficiently executed.

Your work will focus primarily on R&D and regulatory compliance testing of paper, board, and polymeric materials.


Key Responsibilities

  • Identify required tests based on client needs and applicable legal requirements

  • Prepare and present tailored offers to customers

  • Drive sales by effectively communicating the value of testing services

  • Coordinate sample submissions with partner laboratories

  • Report results to clients and provide technical consultation

A solid scientific understanding of polymers and materials, combined with a customer-centric mindset, is essential. Previous B2B sales experience is considered an advantage, but it is not required. What matters most is your willingness to engage with international customers, confidently pick up the phone, and support them in finding the right solutions.

During your first months, we expect full-time presence at our Vallila office. After this onboarding period, a hybrid working model can be arranged.


What We Are Looking For

  • A customer-oriented mindset

  • Experience in packaging, paper, and polymer science

  • A performance-driven attitude and comfort in owning targets and outcomes

  • Professional communication skills in English

  • Desire to contribute to our great culture đź’™


What you get

  • A chance to be part of a top-tier VC-backed international scale-up

  • Close collaboration with a diverse, highly skilled team of technical experts, sales professionals, and founders

  • Real ownership, trust, and the opportunity to make a visible impact as the company grows
