Job details:
We're hiring: Technical Deployment Lead — Circular Materials & Corporate Partnerships Rural Handmade × SatiQ Concrete Manufacturer Pvt. Ltd.
Most CSR programmes fund activities. We want to build permanent systems.
We convert corporate industrial residues — fly ash, glass cullet, other suitable inorganic streams — into tested circular materials and specification-grade products, manufactured with women-led Self-Help Groups.
The pathway we're building: waste stream → validated material → certified product → corporate procurement → sustained livelihoods.
This role owns that pathway end to end.
What you'd do → Turn ambiguous corporate waste problems into structured pilots with real decision gates → Own testing, certification and batch-level traceability — strength, leachate, acoustic, fire, durability, EPDs → Research prospects through their own BRSR, CSR and ESG disclosures, then build partner-specific proposals → Structure the commercials: CSR grants, paid pilots, tolling, offtake, procurement contracts → Convert pilots into repeat orders and multi-site deployment
Non-negotiable — the two-zone safety model: regulated material stays inside the generator's authorised boundary. SHGs receive only characterised, cleared material. This governs every layout we design.
We're looking for
- 1–10 years across sustainability, technical programme management, industrial BD, ESG/CSR strategy or materials commercialisation
- Technical literacy to interpret test results, not just commission them
- Multi-stakeholder B2B partnerships with long sales cycles
- Credible unit economics and first-principles problem-solving
- Responsible use of AI to extend judgement — never to replace evidence
- Equal credibility in a corporate boardroom and an SHG workshop
The practical details 📍 India — hybrid, with regular travel to industrial sites and SHG clusters 🕐 Full-time. Senior individual contributor progressing to team lead 💰 ₹ 15-25 lakh per annum fixed, plus a performance-linked component tied to contracted partnership value.
