Who are we?
Avantium is an innovation-driven pioneer in the emerging industry of renewable and sustainable chemistry. We offer unique technological solutions to reduce plastic waste, new chemical processes for the bio-based economy and R&D equipment and services to accelerate the development of new catalytic processes.
Most of the materials and chemicals used in modern daily life – such as plastics, packaging, furniture and clothing – are based on fossil resources like oil, gas and coal. Changing this paradigm is an ambitious goal but also a promise for a better future. This is why we at Avantium work on developing practical solutions to accelerate the transition to a fossil-free world. We do this by focusing on innovative plant-based chemicals and materials as well as aiming to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to a valuable resource for sustainable products. Avantium’s Volta Technology is a platform technology that uses electrochemistry to convert CO2 to high value chemical building blocks and polymers.
Avantium intends to spin out Volta Technology into a new business entity, in which Avantium will remain a shareholder. This position will form part of the new Volta Technology company and not of Avantium N.V.
We are looking for a Business Development Manager who will commercialize our Glycolic Acid products which will be produced in our demonstration and flagship plants. The Business Development Manager will be responsible for the acquisition of new customers in the Personal Care market, and for developing partnerships with brand owners and distributors in that market segment. The Business Development Manager will report to the Chief Product Officer.
Responsibilities
The key objective of the Business Development Manager is to identify and develop business opportunities in the Personal Care segment that support the development, scale-up and commercialization of the Volta Technology.
To achieve this, you will be responsible for:
- Acquisition of new opportunities with key customers in the Personal Care segment and converting these into offtake agreements for the Demonstration and Flagship Plant
- Set up Distributor Agreements with distributors in the Personal Care segment
- Develop and execute a commercialization strategy for our Glycolic Acid in the Personal Care market
- Monitor market insights and market reports, collect and analyze relevant data, and provide perspective regarding interest areas and relevance to translate market insight into strategic focus
