Your mission

As a Sales Specialist – Battery Trading, you will be the front‑line driver of our supply and demand side. Your core purpose is to secure high‑quality, second‑life‑ready batteries from scrap‑yards, vehicle workshops, fleet operators, dismantling facilities and other non‑traditional sources, feeding them into our digital marketplace and enabling a true circular flow of battery assets. On the other side of the market you engage with vehicle repair workshops to onboard them to our marketplace as potential buyers for such feedstock.

You will work hand‑in‑hand with the Senior BDM Supply and the inbound sales team under the guidance of the CRO, the Product Team and Marketing to turn raw scrap‑yard inventory into a predictable, data‑rich supply pipeline that fuels the circular economy we champion.

About Us

Founded in 2019, Circunomics helps companies buy, sell, and route used batteries in a structured and reliable way. We operate a curated B2B marketplace where battery assets from electric vehicles and energy storage systems are assessed, documented, and matched with the right next step, either reuse in second life applications or recycling.

Our platform brings together standardized asset information, battery data analysis, and regulatory guidance so that buyers and sellers know what is being traded, what is required, and what comes next. This reduces uncertainty, shortens decision cycles, and prevents battery transactions from getting stuck late in the process.

By making battery reuse and recycling easier to execute at scale, Circunomics supports the energy transition and helps turn used batteries into valuable resources rather than waste.
