Geocycle - Head of Market & Communications

Overview

Providing waste management solutions in a future oriented way requires disruptive thinking, active engagement and collaboration. Geocycle rethinks waste challenges to provide innovative ways to manage it. Our promise is clear: We work relentlessly to bring society a step closer to a zero-waste future.

Geo means ‘earth’ in Greek. Cycle evokes recycling. But it also suggests a larger process – the regenerative cycle in nature where waste materials are the foundation for creating new life. The name Geocycle alludes to the ‘holistic’ nature of what we do: turning waste into energy and recycled materials. By this, we participate in a regenerative, circular economy that closes resource cycles. Our dedicated experts and partners work persistently toward this goal. We are the most driven, innovative, disruptively thinking and energized solution provider for a circular economy.

No agencies can be considered for this job posting, and no agency involvement is required unless contractually assigned.

We are open to considering various locations for this position, please clearly indicate your place of residence and/or willingness to move to specific locations in your application.
