📋 Description

• Buy scrap aluminum. Source, negotiate, and purchase material at volumes and pricing that meet our targets. This is the core of the job. • Build supplier relationships. Identify, qualify, and onboard new suppliers. Grow our sourcing network beyond the existing base. Get on the road and visit yards. • Learn the market fast. Get fluent in aluminum alloy grades, ISRI scrap specifications, pricing dynamics, and the supplier landscape. We’ll help, but you need to be a fast, self-directed learner. • Set up procurement workflows. Establish simple, repeatable processes for supplier communication, order tracking, pricing records, and reporting. Integrate with our platform and financial systems. • Coordinate across the team. Work with sales on material specs and timing, operations on logistics and quality, and finance on pricing and margins. Procurement touches everything here. • Use technology to work smarter. We’re a tech company. We expect you to leverage AI tools, data, and automation to be more productive — not work the way the scrap industry has for the last 50 years.

🎯 Requirements

• You’ve bought things before. Any industry. You’ve personally sourced goods or materials, negotiated with suppliers, and placed orders. You’re a buyer, not an analyst. • You can negotiate. You’re comfortable discussing price, terms, and delivery with suppliers. You can think on your feet and hold firm when needed. • You’re a self-starter. You don’t wait for instructions. You see what needs to happen and you go do it. You report results, not requests for permission. • You’re comfortable with ambiguity. We’re a startup. Processes are being built, not inherited. If you need fully defined SOPs before you can act, this isn’t the right fit. • You learn fast. The scrap aluminum market will likely be new to you. That’s fine. What matters is how quickly you get up to speed through direct engagement — calls, site visits, and market immersion. • You have energy. You pick up the phone, visit the yard, make the offer. You bring positive momentum to every interaction. Suppliers and teammates want to work with you.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary + bonus + equity • Ground-floor opportunity at a company building the future of a massive, fragmented industry • Direct impact — your work drives revenue and shapes how we operate • A team that uses AI and technology as a competitive advantage, not as a buzzword • Equity in a high-growth company • A leadership team that values action over credentials and results over process
