- 3+ years of experience doing relevant infrastructure development, such as investing or project developing anaerobic digesters, RNG plants, power plants, or other biofuels or waste projects
- 3+ years of experience doing relevant fundamental research on biofuels or solid carbon technologies, such as waste-to-value thermochemistry or biochemistry
- Reason from first principles about hardware technologies and basic chemistry, quickly identify technology risks and create technical roadmaps for solving risks
- Comfortably interface with customers and potential partners, conduct thorough interviews and facilitate sales conversations
- Travel to sites to inspect key technologies and perform testing/validation
- Write concisely and informatively, prepare thorough analyses, marketing materials, and case studies on high potential methods of waste valorization
- Be fluent in pro formas and comfortable with data analysis. Move efficiently through modeling Profit & Loss statements
- Background may come from adjacent industries where success depends on structuring, pricing, and negotiating multi-stakeholder commercial agreements—for example, advanced manufacturing, commodities, or project finance

What the job involves
- The Organics and Offtakes Product Manager will develop AMP’s global strategy and roadmap for offtakes – with a particular emphasis on organics, followed by other hard to valorize fractions. The role focuses on Research and Development and Commercialization of new end markets and partnerships that divert more waste and create better facility unit economics
- Success in this role will transform AMP’s ability to develop projects with greater value creation across all waste fractions. The mandate includes developing, validating, and scaling new models for organics and advanced materials recovery
- Success will include identifying and developing project models, integrations, partnerships, and technology roadmaps for TRL 5-9 technologies such as composting, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, methanolysis, SRF/RDF, synthetic aggregates, and other emerging technologies
- This position works closely with the Head of Product, CTO, engineering and commercial counterparts to explore and validate new ways to convert waste fractions into valuable products, such as manufacturing feedstocks, building materials, solid carbon products, and biofuels
- This unique role can have an outsized impact in changing how society handles its waste and create significant climate and ecological impact on an international scale
- Develop and execute AMP’s offtake strategy — identify, validate, and commercialize new outlets and technologies that move economics from cost to value
- Partner with the commercial team to prepare and manage high-quality carbon credit program applications, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with AMP’s organics strategy and value-generation goals
- Support the Engineering and Operations teams to ensure technical feasibility and feedstock compatibility for new pathways; coordinate and perform feedstock testing and acceptance validation; evaluate new technologies for achieving targeted feedstock chemistries
- Build and maintain AMP’s partner network — establish relationships with processors, converters, technology developers, and national labs across the bioeconomy, fuels, and materials sectors
- Advise commercial originators on optimal, specific offtake strategies for each project and market context, as well as for all proposals and solicitation responses
- Present to and host on site potential customers and partners at AMP and customer facilities
- Coordinate with Government Affairs and commercial originators to strategically position AMP for regional success in organics offtake markets through targeted policy and stakeholder engagement
- Coordinate development playbooks for viable offtakes, including regional viability, permitting strategies, site requirements, and end-market capacity
- Prepare Go-To-Market — prepare AMP to sell against value propositions of offtakes at all levels of the funnel, from website, through marketing collateral, Municipal Case Studies, RFPs, and more
- Develop market collateral — work with Marketing and Commercial to communicate AMP’s offtake strategy and value creation to municipal and private customers
- Drive integration of future waste valorization methods by mapping high-value revenue pathways
- Supervisory Responsibilities:
- None Directly
- Mentors and develops cross-functional teammates to strengthen commercial, analytical, and negotiation capabilities
- Coordinates cross-functionally with Operations, Finance, and Engineering leadership to align offtake objectives with production, pricing, and technical validation
Our take
Recycling rates and economics are becoming increasingly potent problems, as many countries strive to increase the efficiency of their renewable supply chain. AMP tackles this problem through a mixture of hardware and artificial intelligence software to automate and design new facilities and tools for the purpose of sorting through and organizing discarded recyclable materials.
AMP stands out from other manufacturers focussing on the same global problem due to its ability to retrofit facilities with new hardware and software. Its scalable and flexible tech includes AMP Cortex, a high-speed robotic sorting system focused on physical tasks, implementing machine learning to achieve an impressive 99% accuracy and 80 picks per minute. This is bolstered by the AMP Vision modular computer vision system that helps to analyze material flow. With a range of other savvy - and patented - tools at its disposal, AMP is turning heads in its native US.
AMP is using its most recent round of funding to scale up its operations. Based out of Colorado, the company has 400 AI systems deployed across America, Asia, and Europe, so this extra funding sets it up very nicely to keep up with the rising demands for sustainable wate management solutions.
