Job Description

Company Overview:

Found Energy is building clean energy delivery platforms capable of replacing fossil fuels for heavy industries ranging from aluminum production (4% of global CO2 emissions) to fertilizer production (2% of global CO2 emissions) to maritime shipping (3% of global CO2 emissions). Building off technology developed at MIT that enables metallic aluminum to split water, our energy delivery systems safely generate hydrogen and industrial heat on-site at >5x the volumetric energy density of liquid hydrogen and >3x that of methanol and ammonia. By integrating storage, transport, and generation into a single package, our technology solves some of the biggest pain points in renewable energy transportation and storage.

At Found Energy, we believe in securing a livable and equitable future for our planet, and we are looking for partners who are motivated by this goal to join us. For more information, visit https://found.energy.

We are looking for a proactive and ambitious Business Development Representative to spearhead our customer expansion initiatives. As the face of Found Energy, you'll work collaboratively with customers in industrial sectors, providing solutions to meet their decarbonization objectives.

This is an excellent opportunity for a dynamic Business Development professional who is passionate about renewable energy and is eager to make a meaningful impact in a startup environment.

This job is in-person at our Boston office.
