Posted on Jul 2, 2025
"BE THE CATALYST THAT DRIVES REAL CHANGE FOR OUR PLANET."
Samsara Eco has one clear mission: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling. Yes, it’s a mighty mission but it’s something every single one of us here at Samsara Eco is determined to achieve. And it’s what motivates us to dedicate our time and energy to every single day.
Our technology is like our team. One of a kind. And we know that, so while we are creating technology to repair our planet, we’re also building a great place to grow careers. A place where everyone can do the best work of their life, making meaningful impact on our planet and ourselves.
WE ARE...
A biotech innovator repairing our planet through infinite recycling. We’re taking the 10 billion tonnes of plastics and textiles wasting away in landfill and our environment, and recycling it, infinitely to create a truly circular loop for packaging, clothing, airbags and everything in between.
It means brands can make the products we all know and love without the environmental damage. Because by using what we already have, we can end the world’s reliance on dirty fossil fuels to slow climate change and ensure we have a livable planet for future generations.
THE ROLE...
We are looking for a seasoned commercial leader to launch and scale our first international facility in Asia — a pivotal step in globalising our breakthrough climate tech.
In this role you’ll be the driving force behind joint ventures, strategic partnerships, and market entry across the region. Based in Singapore and reporting directly to our CEO, you’ll turn first-of-a-kind innovation into large-scale commercial reality.
This is a high-impact, high-trust role — ideal for a senior executive who can confidently navigate boardrooms and factory floors, structure complex cross-border deals, and build lasting partnerships with governments, investors, and global industry leaders. You'll represent Samsara Eco across Asia and act as the CEO’s key commercial partner as we scale. This role will require travel in Asia and to Australia.
Key Responsibilities...
Strategic Leadership & Co-Delivery
Purpose-Driven Innovation: Join a team at the forefront of tackling one of the world’s most urgent environmental challenges. Your work will directly contribute to advancing solutions that repair the planet and restore global ecosystems.
Collaboration and Growth: We value diverse perspectives and collective action. At Samsara Eco, you’ll collaborate with brilliant minds across science, technology, and business in an environment that fosters creativity, mutual respect, and continuous learning.
Empowerment and Ownership: We offer a flat, flexible structure where you can take ownership of projects and make meaningful decisions. We trust our team to lead, innovate, and drive change as we scale our solutions globally.
Work-Life Integration: We believe that happy, healthy employees do their best work. That’s why we offer flexible work arrangements, competitive compensation, and benefits that prioritize your well-being and help you maintain balance between your personal and professional life.
A Future-Focused Culture: We encourage agility, innovation, and courage in everything we do. Join a team that values your unique strengths, challenges the status quo, and builds a lasting legacy of positive change.
