Spearhead U.S. business development efforts for high-grade recycled plastics (rPET).

Leverage your industry network to rapidly engage packaging buyers, contract manufacturers, and sustainability-focused procurement teams.

Educate clients on supply chain capabilities including material specifications, compliance, and international logistics.

Take ownership of a key $10M+ deal already in progress and expand the client base from there.

Serve as a trusted advisor to company leadership on pricing models, sales operations, and future organizational design.

Lay the foundation for future hiring and team growth within the commercial function

Skill Set:

5–15 years of success in B2B plastics or materials sales, especially within packaging, recycling, or rPET/PET distribution.

Familiarity with supply chain operations involving import/export, compliance, and sustainable materials.

Able to activate and close warm leads quickly through consultative, solutions-based selling.

Comfortable in an unstructured, high-upside startup environment.

Capable of operating independently and partnering with a founder who is new to the space but highly motivated and well-capitalized.
