You will drive growth by supporting the adoption of NOOSA™ fiber, guide and support potential customers through their circular transition journey.

In practice, you will have to do much more than that to ensure the development of the market is successful. You will be part of a young start-up environment, directly reporting to the founders and at the same time having a strong force of proposition and learning from other teams.

• You are a natural born communicator, you have an innate talent for connecting with people and you quickly understand how to effectively communicate NOOSA’s value proposition to a very diverse audience of potential users. You are a killer at pitching, convincing and convert leads into engaged users.
• Lead strategic meetings to gather information on the customer and be able to identify the right value proposition for them. Build business cases to prepare future off-take and pricing negotiations throughout the client onboarding process (product development).
• Work closely with the technical team for optimized product development, debunking problems and present market insights. You have a strong ability to learn & show curiosity towards textile and clean technologies.

• Project Management: You bring a strategic reflexion by analyzing the environment through business cases, data analysis and you’re a killer at organization/planning a project from A to Z.
• You are adaptable and resilient: and you can put yourself in the shoes of a large workwear group but also a carpet manufacturer as well as a niche fashion designer. You are adaptable to a very diverse team.
• You navigate through Microsoft Office (Excel) and CRM tools. Experience with Odoo and Sales tools is a plus.
• Fluent in English and one additional language (Portuguese, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese are a plus).
