Nfinite Nanotechnology Inc - Sales Leader

​

Who Is Nfinite Nanotech & How Are They Changing the World?

Over 300M tonnes of plastic waste are produced each year. Less than 10% is actually recycled, and the rest ends up in landfills or the ocean. Here’s why: Fully recyclable + compostable packaging doesn’t preserve food well, so CPG companies opt to use partially recyclable packaging and avoid compostable packaging. Nfinite Nanotech has the solution: They’ve created a thin nanocoating layer that CPG companies can add to fully compostable + recyclable packaging that preserves food freshness. Bonus: It’s easily integrated into existing production lines at high speed and low cost. 

​

​

How Will I Make An Impact?

As the Sales Leader, you’ll work closely with the CEO to build and manage multimillion-dollar collaborations with their CPG and packaging converter partners. You’ll focus on growing Nfinite’s revenue by building a portfolio of high-reward collaborations from the ground up. You will:

      

  • Build and refine Nfinite’s go-to-market strategy by developing their ideal customer profile and end-to-end sales and customer experience playbook. 

  • Develop a deep understanding of prospective customers’ business and product needs in order to help inform product requirements                  

  • Become a subject matter expert by developing a strong grasp of the competitive landscape, navigating the entire circular value chain, and keeping up with the latest trends in sustainable packaging     

  • Build relationships with net-new accounts that lead to conversions while also “landing and expanding” with current customers

  • Develop an understanding of the complete value chain

  • Develop an understanding of customer’s unit economics, volumes and product structure

  • Define, measure, and communicate key performance indicators using a data-driven approach to optimize Nfinite’s product offering and collaborate with cross-functional teams to research, propose, and develop new applications for their technology.

  • Act as an expert on all things Nfinite as the main point of contact for customers. 

  • Be a player/coach: You’ll start solo but after the commercialization strategy is set and proven, you’ll build out the sales function

​

How Do I Know If This Is For Me?

You’re passionate about sustainability and understand the value of reducing plastic waste in the food packaging industry. You have a background in CPG but also understand the needs of a small, fast-paced startup. You love all things sales and customer experience: You can build new relationships and nurture existing ones to grow accounts. You either have leadership experience or the thought of eventually leading a team excites you. You have proven success meeting targets and iterating on sales processes. Last, but absolutely not least - you value a low-ego, high collaboration environment.

​

The Process:

As many startups go, we’re still fine-tuning the interview process. Here’s what we know for sure: You’ll first have an initial screening call with Tara or Negin. After that, you’ll:
 

  1. Meet with the Head of Operations 

  2. Meet with the Founders

  3. Meet with their Sales Mentor from the Accelerator Centre

 

There might be a final step, but we’re still figuring that out!

​

And, as your Artemis Canada Recruitment Consultants, we'll work closely with you through every step of the process.

 

We understand, accept, and value the differences between people of different backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, ages, beliefs, and abilities.  We aim to create an inclusive environment and encourage diverse individuals to apply.

​

We'd love to hear from you - even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements. Send us a note at tara@artemiscanada.com or negin@artemiscanada.com if you or someone you know is interested!

​

In other words? Their nanocoating layer makes it feasible for CPG companies to use compostable/fully recyclable packaging. That means you can enjoy your fresh, crunchy chips and compost the bag after, knowing that the packaging won’t end up in oceans or landfills. You basically did the world a favour by having that snack. Win-win, right? 

 

Founded by two Penn State and University of Waterloo grads, Nfinite Nanotech is a mission-driven, venture-backed startup. They partner with consumer packaging and food companies, and already have paying customers. To continue their success, they need a strong sales leader to help them grow.
