Chemours is seeking a Global Technology Manager for our Melt processable fluoropolymersteam to join our growing Advanced Performance Materials (APM) business. This highly visible leadership role will report directly to theGlobal Technology Director of Advanced Performance Materials and is based at the Chemours Discovery Hub in Newark, DE. This role requires close collaboration with global strategic growth, commercial, marketing, and manufacturing resources to align innovation efforts with customer and market needs.

Chemours' Advanced Performance Materials business develops high-performance materials that enable critical technologies across semiconductor manufacturing, AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, advanced communications, transportation, energy, and industrial markets. Our market-driven innovation strategy combines deep materials expertise with application-focused development to create solutions for challenges that conventional materials cannot solve. Our fluoropolymer technologies are enabling some of the fastest-growing segments globally, including:

• Semiconductor chip manufacturing and advanced packaging

• Next-generation wire, cable, and interconnect solutions for high-speed, high-frequency communications and data infrastructure, and AI and hyperscale data center technologies

• Ultra-high-purity or harsh chemical fluid handling systems, often at extreme temperatures in challenging environments

• Transportation, aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial technologies

Fluoropolymer material solutions are essential to support several growing areas of modern advanced electronics technology. As semiconductor device architectures become more complex and semiconductor manufacturing demands higher purity, reliability, thermal performance, and chemical resistance, fluoropolymers are the materials of choice.

The revolution in high speed/high frequency communication, increase in connected applications, and Artificial Intelligence, require next generation materials that are durable and have the best possible electrical insulation properties, such as for data center cabling. Fluoropolymers are that solution.

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead the global technical team collaborating with our customers and value chain partners to drive technology development at the forefront of these industry transformations, as well as supporting the existing applications and product portfolio.

This highly visible role of Global Technology Manager will lead a global team of scientists and engineers around the world, who are responsible for solving the challenges that face the current incumbent materials.

The Global Technology Manager will coordinate program activities and resourcing, guide development and prioritization, and have oversight of the global R&D, technical service, prototyping, testing, and application development laboratories in America, Europe and China. The role also interacts with strategic customers and value chain partners to identify and drive adoption of the new materials. The position is a key leadership position in the technology organization, working daily together with the global technology director and VP of technology, as well as the global business development team, strategic growth team members, and all other functions to develop and commercialize Chemours new offerings.
