Job description

Overview

Lead the commercialisation of breakthrough technology that's set to transform critical markets like carbon capture.

This is your opportunity to shape the commercial strategy for revolutionary chemical technology from the ground up. While others are working on incremental improvements, you'll be building new markets and establishing the commercial foundations for genuine step-change solutions.

You'll get equity in a funded startup with breakthrough tech, the freedom to shape strategy from day one, and the opportunity to become a recognised thought leader as the energy transition accelerates. Plus you'll leverage your oil & gas EPC expertise in the fastest-growing sector on the planet.

This isn't another corporate BD role - it's a career-defining opportunity to move beyond traditional energy and build something that matters whilst creating genuine value.

What you'll do

Own the commercial strategy for breakthrough applications in carbon capture and energy markets. You'll identify and engage oil & gas EPC contractors, negotiate game-changing partnerships with engineering development partners, and build the revenue engine that scales this technology globally.

Working directly with EPC contractors and engineering customers, you'll help shape their solutions for critical applications and solve their toughest commercialisation challenges. You'll also prepare opportunity assessments for the executive team, mentor commercial team members, and create the market entry plans that turn cutting-edge science into billion-dollar businesses.

What you'll need

• Chemical/Mechanical Engineer or Materials Scientist with 10+ years experience
• Proven track record bringing new technologies to market in industrial applications
• Deep experience with oil & gas EPC contractors and their procurement processes (FEED, EPCM, EPC/turnkey)
• Strong network across international energy/industrial contractors
• Commercial leadership experience with complex B2B sales cycles

Strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities will help you navigate complex markets, while strong communication skills will let you represent the company at the highest industry levels. Experience in VC/PE backed businesses preferred but not essential.
