The very technologies that are creating a more sustainable future for us — electric vehicles, semiconductors, and solar panels — are built on a foundation of metals extracted from the earth at great financial and environmental cost. ElectraMet™ enables manufacturing sustainability initiatives that drive a circular economy, reducing dependence on extracting targeted metals from the ground. We do this by delivering a novel electrochemical technology that separates and recovers dissolved metals from process and wastewater streams.

ElectraMet produces a disruptive technology providing a differentiated outcome. We are looking for an experienced and passionate sales professional with experience developing meaningful and profitable relationships in the industrial space.

This is a hybrid role of market development, sales support, and opportunity ownership as part of the sales organization’s strategy. Time allocation expectations are 50% development and 50% opportunity management. Travel is expected at ~20-30% but KPI achievement will drive operational realities.

We need a hunter that is ready to break barriers, and someone that loves being David versus Goliath, as we are driving a disruptive technology.
