Job description

We're hiring: Technical Deployment Lead — Circular Materials & Corporate PartnershipsRural Handmade × SatiQ Concrete Manufacturer Pvt. Ltd.

Most CSR programmes fund activities. We want to build permanent systems.

We convert corporate industrial residues — fly ash, glass cullet, other suitable inorganic streams — into tested circular materials and specification-grade products, manufactured with women-led Self-Help Groups.

The pathway we're building:waste stream → validated material → certified product → corporate procurement → sustained livelihoods.

This role owns that pathway end to end.

What you'd do→ Turn ambiguous corporate waste problems into structured pilots with real decision gates → Own testing, certification and batch-level traceability — strength, leachate, acoustic, fire, durability, EPDs → Research prospects through their own BRSR, CSR and ESG disclosures, then build partner‑specific proposals → Structure the commercials: CSR grants, paid pilots, tolling, offtake, procurement contracts → Convert pilots into repeat orders and multi‑site deployment

Non-negotiable — the two-zone safety model:regulated material stays inside the generator's authorised boundary. SHGs receive only characterised, cleared material. This governs every layout we design.

We're looking for

• 1–10 years across sustainability, technical programme management, industrial BD, ESG/CSR strategy or materials commercialisation
• Technical literacy to interpret test results, not just commission them
• Multi‑stakeholder B2B partnerships with long sales cycles
• Credible unit economics and first‑principles problem‑solving
• Responsible use of AI to extend judgement — never to replace evidence
• Equal credibility in a corporate boardroom and an SHG workshop

The practical details India — hybrid, with regular travel to industrial sites and SHG clusters Full‑time. Senior individual contributor progressing to team lead ₹ 15-25 lakh per annum fixed, plus a performance‑linked component tied to contracted partnership value.
