What the job involves
- We are Seenons, a tech company with a mission: a world without waste. Our international platform brings together all players in the waste industry for circular waste management
- We help large organizations to reduce waste and together save as many valuable resources as possible from industrial waste. With huge shortages of raw materials and, on the other hand, 76 million roll cages full of waste, something has to change
- This is why we're looking for an ambitious Senior Product Manager!
- As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll play a critical role in bridging the gap between waste savers (our customers) and service partners (our logistics and operational providers)
- Your focus will be on improving waste collection processes and resolving operational issues through clear communication, scalable tools, and seamless integrations
Our take
Waste is a major problem in Europe, with millions tonnes of waste incinerated per year. While the EU has set ambitious targets of zero waste by 2030, and zero-waste influencers have taken TikTok by storm, the infrastructure doesn't yet exist to achieve these goals. Enter Seenons, a Dutch startup aiming to make zero waste a reality. Its platform is designed to connect the waste chain and stimulate the circular economy, saving resources and fighting climate change in the process.
Seenons' platform works by linking together waste companies in a kind of marketplace, connecting waste channels in such a way that the right kinds of waste reach the right processors. This saves a huge amount of waste from the incinerator - Seenons has calculated that its solution could reduce waste in the Netherlands by half a million tonnes, or around 25%. As the only solution of its type in Europe, the company has collected numerous awards and venture capital funding to support its goals.
Seenons has grown its team swiftly, and has its sights set on becoming the European leader in the circular economy by 2026. As demand for zero-waste solutions is on the rise, it seems set to continue its promising trajectory into the future. Funding raised will help to make technological improvements to its offering, as well as invest in international growth.
