Head of Commercial Projects

**"Be the catalyst that drives real change for our planet."**

Samsara Eco has one clear mission: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling. Yes, it’s a mighty mission but it’s something every single one of us here at Samsara Eco is determined to achieve. And it’s what motivates us to dedicate our time and energy to every single day.

Our technology is like our team. One of a kind. And we know that, so while we are creating technology to repair our planet, we’re also building a great place to grow careers. A place where everyone can do the best work of their life, making meaningful impact on our planet and ourselves.

**We are...**

A biotech innovator repairing our planet through infinite recycling. We’re taking the 10 billion tonnes of plastics and têxtiles wasting away in landfill and our environment, and recycling it, infinitely to create a truly circular loop for packaging, clothing, airbags and everything in between.

It means brands can make the products we all know and love without the environmental damage. Because by using what we already have, we can end the world’s reliance on dirty fossil fuels to slow climate change and ensure we have a livable planet for future generations.

We are looking for a seasoned commercial leader to launch and scale our first international facility in China — a pivotal step in globalising our breakthrough climate tech.
