๐Ÿข About AMP Robotics

AMP Robotics is at the forefront of revolutionizing recycling through AI and automation, aiming to create a more sustainable, waste-free world. Their cutting-edge technology and commitment to environmental impact make them a unique and mission-driven workplace. Working here means contributing to a circular economy while tackling one of the most pressing global challenges.

About This Role

As Market Development Manager, you will own AMP's global offtake strategy, developing new end markets and partnerships for recyclables, residuals, and organics. You'll lead feedstock strategy, pricing, and contracting for AMP-operated facilities, directly impacting volume and margin targets. This role is critical to scaling AMP's impact and driving commercial success in the recycling ecosystem.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing market pricing data and negotiating new offtake contracts with recyclers or petrochemical partners. You'd then meet with the commercial team to align on feedstock strategy, followed by a call with government affairs to discuss regional policy impacts. Afternoons could involve analyzing facility performance metrics and developing collateral for a new partnership pitch.

๐ŸŽฏ Who AMP Robotics Is Looking For

  • A seasoned professional with 5+ years in recycling, renewable fuels, or organics processing, experienced in complex commercial agreements and offtake contracts.
  • An MBA graduate who can translate technical recycling processes into compelling commercial value propositions and lead high-stakes negotiations.
  • A strategic leader with experience managing teams and cross-functional collaboration, comfortable advising originators and coordinating with Government Affairs.
  • A proactive deal-maker with a network in advanced recycling, petrochemicals, or materials production, ready to originate strategic partnerships.
