Head of Partnerships (Recyclers & EPR)
- Full-time
- Gurugram
- Partnerships
You build the relationships at both ends of every lot: the registered recyclers we supply, and the EV makers, importers and fleets the batteries come from.
What you'll do
- Build and manage supply relationships with CPCB-registered recyclers: specifications, pricing, payment terms and dispatch schedules.
- Turn each recycler's acceptance criteria into a written specification the yard can seal lots against.
- Track the market: rates, which chemistries are in demand, and who is adding processing capacity.
- Build relationships with EV makers, importers and fleet operators, as sources of batteries and as partners on their obligations under the Battery Waste Management Rules.
- Represent Optimite Energy with industry bodies and at events.
What you'll bring
- Seven or more years in B2B sales, sourcing or partnerships in batteries, metals, recycling, EVs or automotive.
- A working network among recyclers, battery makers or EV companies.
- Commercial judgement: you know what a deal is worth before you sign it.
- Clear writing and strong negotiation in English and Hindi.
Good to have
- Working knowledge of the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 and EPR.
