Head of Product

Waste is one of the world’s biggest problems and the only viable solution is an accelerated transition to a global circular economy. Today, according to the OECD, only 9% of the world’s plastic has ever been recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills and incinerators. This is partly due to the high cost of manual waste sorting, but at Recycleye, we are changing that.

We’re reinventing the economics of recycling for the global waste management industry through intelligent waste sorting automation robotics. Our team is on a mission to turn the world’s waste into resource, by combining ground-breaking computer vision, machine learning and robotics technologies like never before. Our goal is to fully automate the $2.5 trillion waste recycling industry and to achieve it, we are being supported by global players such as Microsoft, FANUC and Arrow Electronics.

We already count several of the world’s largest waste management companies amongst our clients and are experiencing accelerated growth. We now need a Head of Product to join our busy team and help us deliver that growth.

Your task as Head of Product is to continue to increase the company's success within our existing product line as well as new launches. You will head up theproduct team to develop a concrete product strategy and efficient product development processes.
