Senior Market Business Development Manager- Building Components USA
Sika · Madison Heights, MI · 1 mo ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a description about Sika (company overview). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for role description. The company overview could be part of "About the role" or maybe separate "About Sika"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections that have content.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation etc. The posting includes a lot of company overview at start, then Position Purpose, Job Description (Key Responsibilities), Accountability, Collaboration, Qualifications, Additional Information (Perks & Benefits), then some repeated statements about compensation, equal opportunity etc. We need to remove duplicated lines and boilerplate (EEO etc). Also remove "Additional Information" heading? It contains perks & benefits list. We'll create Benefits section.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- About the role: could combine company overview and Position Purpose? The "Position Purpose" is a paragraph. Could be part of About the role. We'll put company overview and Position Purpose under About the role.
- Responsibilities: from Key Responsibilities bullet list.
- Accountability and Collaboration could be part of Responsibilities or separate sections? The instruction says we can have sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't list Accountability or Collaboration as standard headings, but we could incorporate them into Responsibilities or maybe create a separate section like "Accountability & Collaboration". However instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Accountability and Collaboration into Responsibilities or maybe into a "Key Responsibilities" section. Let's include them under Responsibilities as part of the list.
- Qualifications: we have qualifications bullet list.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications: "Strong strategic, analytical, and customer-facing skills. Ability to influence and lead cross-functional teams without direct authority. Experience working in a matrix organization in an international environment". Could be a Skills section.
- Benefits: we have list of perks & benefits.
- Pay: The posting mentions "We offer competitive salaries, aligned with local market benchmarks..." but no specific numbers. It says "Compensation is determined based on skills relevant to the position, education, and or training." That's generic. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that they offer competitive salaries aligned with local market benchmarks. That's a statement about pay but not specific numbers. Is that enough to include a Pay section? The instruction says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The phrase "competitive salaries, aligned with local market benchmarks" is somewhat generic but not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's a statement about pay practice. Might be acceptable to include a Pay section with that sentence. However they also repeat it twice. We'll include a Pay section with that statement (deduplicated). We'll not include Schedule as no schedule info.
- Requirements: Could be same as Qualifications? Usually Requirements separate from Qualifications. But we have qualifications list (education, experience, language). Could treat that as Requirements. Qualifications could be same. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Qualifications". The instruction gave both as examples but we can choose. We'll make a Qualifications section covering education, experience, language, etc. Then maybe a Skills section for the skill-based items.
Let's extract content:
Company overview paragraph: "With more than 100 years of experience, Sika is a worldwide innovation and sustainability leader in the development and production of systems and products for commercial and residential construction, as well as the transportation, marine, automotive, and renewable energy manufacturing industries. Sika is a specialty chemical company with a globally leading position in the development and production of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing, and protection in the building sector and industry. Sika has subsidiaries in 103 countries around the world, produces in over 400 factories, and develops innovative technologies for customers worldwide. In doing so, it plays a crucial role in enabling the transformation of the construction and transportation industries toward greater environmental compatibility. Approximately 33,000 employees generated CHF11.20 billion in sales in 2025."
Position Purpose: "The Senior Market BDM, Building Components USA, is responsible for developing and driving the Building Components market strategy execution in the United States. This role identifies growth opportunities, market priorities, and customer needs to drive profitable growth. As the market segment expert, the MFM leads market intelligence, strategic planning, customer insights, and innovation initiatives while aligning efforts across Business Development, Sales, Product Management, R&D, Technical Services, and Market & Customer Activation."
Key Responsibilities bullet list:
- Develop and maintain the Building Components market strategy, including market segmentation, competitive analysis, growth forecasting, and prioritization of opportunities.
- Serve as the market expert for Building Components and represent Sika with customers, industry associations, and key stakeholders.
- Identify and evaluate growth opportunities, adjacent markets, strategic partnerships, and acquisition targets.
- Build business cases and market assessments to support investment and growth decisions.
- Define and support go-to-market strategies with Business Development, Sales, Product Management, and Market & Customer Activation teams.
- Lead Voice of Customer programs and market intelligence activities to identify trends, competitive developments, and unmet customer needs.
- Translate market insights into innovation opportunities and collaborate with Product Management, R&D, and Technical Services to support commercialization efforts.
- Drive execution of market growth initiatives in partnership with Business Development Managers and Sales teams.
Accountability bullet list (maybe separate but we can incorporate):
- Accountable for the development and execution of the Building Components growth strategy.
- Maintain a pipeline of market opportunities aligned with regional and global priorities.
- Influence product portfolio, innovation, and market investment decisions through analysis and business case development.
Collaboration bullet list:
- Work cross-functionally with Business Development, Sales, Product Management, R&D, Operations, Technical Services, and Market & Customer Activation teams.
- Partner with regional and global stakeholders to align strategy, priorities, and growth objectives.
Qualifications bullet list:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Marketing, Construction Management, or a related field.
- MBA preferred.
- Spanish would be a preferred second language.
- Minimum 15 years of proven success in market strategy, business development, commercialization, or growth-focused leadership roles.
- Experience in factory-built building components, including applications such as windows, doors, modular construction, off-site construction, tanks, or related building systems.
- Strong strategic, analytical, and customer-facing skills.
- Ability to influence and lead cross-functional teams without direct authority.
- Experience working in an matrix organization in an international environment
(Note: "an matrix" typo but keep as is.)
Skills: we could pull out the skill items: Strong strategic, analytical, and customer-facing skills. Ability to influence and lead cross-functional teams without direct authority. Experience working in a matrix organization in an international environment.
But those are already in qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps better to have Qualifications cover education/experience/language, and Skills cover the skill-based items.
Thus:

Also there is a sentence: "Sika fosters a culture of entrepreneurship, empowering each individual to make decisions, learn from experiences, and shape their own career path. The safety and well-being of employees are top priorities at Sika, with a strong commitment to open communication and maintaining a safe workplace. In addition, Sika actively contributes to the community and promotes sustainability by giving back, minimizing environmental impact, and embracing social responsibility." This is more about culture; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Company Culture". But instruction only gave examples; we could add a section like "About Sika" but we already have About the role includes company overview. Could add a short paragraph about culture under About the role as well.
Pay section: we have statements: "We offer competitive salaries, aligned with local market benchmarks and the specific scope and responsibilites of each role. Compensation is determined based on skills relevant to the position, education, and or training. We are committed to fair and equitable pay practices in accordance with applicable laws and regulations." This appears twice; we deduplicate.
We'll include a Pay section with that sentence (maybe combine). We'll not include Schedule.
