Role Overview

The Organics and Offtakes Product Manager will develop AMP’s global strategy and roadmap for offtakes – with a particular emphasis on organics, followed by other hard to valorize fractions. The role focuses on Research and Development and Commercialization of new end markets and partnerships that divert more waste and create better facility unit economics.

Success in this role will transform AMP’s ability to develop projects with greater value creation across all waste fractions. The mandate includes developing, validating, and scaling new models for organics and advanced materials recovery. Success will include identifying and developing project models, integrations, partnerships, and technology roadmaps for TRL 5-9 technologies such as composting, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, methanolysis, SRF/RDF, synthetic aggregates, and other emerging technologies. The right hire has a founder mentality and is a “high slope” learner with an interest in clean energy systems, climate negative infrastructure, and waste. 

This position works closely with the Head of Product, CTO, engineering and commercial counterparts to explore and validate new ways to convert waste fractions into valuable products, such as manufacturing feedstocks, building materials, solid carbon products, and biofuels. This unique role can have an outsized impact in changing how society handles its waste and create significant climate and ecological impact on an international scale.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
