🏢 About greyparrot

Greyparrot uses AI-powered computer vision to analyze waste streams in real-time, enabling recycling facilities to recover more materials and reduce contamination. Their technology is deployed globally, and they are at the forefront of using data to drive circular economy solutions.

About This Role

As a Commercial Strategy & Market Intelligence Consultant, you will lead a project to shape Greyparrot's go-to-market strategy by delivering actionable insights on customer segments, market sizing, competitive landscape, and pricing. Your work will directly influence how Greyparrot scales its impact in the waste management industry.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day reviewing CRM data and interview notes, then spend a few hours building out a TAM model in Excel. After a lunch break, you might synthesize competitive findings into a slide deck, then present interim findings to Greyparrot's CEO for feedback. The rest of the day involves refining your analysis based on that discussion.
