About the role

  • Identify, engage, and onboard scrapyards, auto-repair workshops, fleet operators, dismantlers, and other hidden battery sources across Germany/EU to Circunomics’ marketplace.
  • Negotiate acquisition contracts (spot purchases, long‑term supply agreements, take‑back schemes).
  • Perform on‑site assessments (state of health, safety, documentation) together with technical partners.
  • Create and maintain a live supplier intelligence database (capacity, lead‑times, pricing trends, regulatory constraints).
  • Collaborate with the Business‑Development team to align sourcing targets with demand from OEMs, tier‑1s, second‑life integrators, and energy‑storage companies.
  • Prepare sales & sourcing reports, dashboards, and presentations for senior leadership and investors.
  • Represent Circunomics at industry events, trade fairs, and local networking groups (e.g., recycling associations, automotive clubs).
  • Feed market insights back to Product & Tech teams (e.g., common failure modes, battery chemistries, regulatory hurdles).
  • Support the CRO in building strategic campaigns with Marketing (targeted outreach, webinars, case studies).

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience and a strong professional network within the scrapyard, auto-repair, or battery sourcing sector are essential.
  • A strong interest and/or experience in the battery industry, combined with proven experience engaging with scrapyards, auto-repair workshops, or the automotive after-market sector, is essential.
  • Proven track record of closing contracts with scrap‑yard operators, workshops, fleet managers, or dismantlers.
  • Strong negotiation, contract‑management, and stakeholder‑management skills.
  • Hands‑on, “get‑things‑done” attitude; comfortable with field visits and on‑site evaluations.
  • Excellent communication & presentation abilities.
  • Ability to work autonomously while collaborating across product, tech, and marketing teams.
Benefits
  • Flexible working hours & hybrid remote model – we trust you to deliver results, wherever you are.
  • Modern office in Mainz (optional) – open spaces, coffee bar, meeting pods.
  • Low‑hierarchy, open‑feedback culture – your voice shapes strategy.
  • English as the company language – work in an international, multicultural team.
  • Competitive salary plus performance-based bonus tied to sourcing volume, quality, and revenue generation.
  • Professional development budget – conferences, certifications, language courses.
  • Direct impact on the circular battery ecosystem – you will literally help close the loop on used EV batteries.
