The Company An emerging, ASX‑listed industrial technology business is developing a proprietary process to recover high‑value metals from complex waste streams. Having achieved strong laboratory validation, the company is now entering a pivotal transition phase—moving toward pilot‑scale demonstration, early commercial partnerships, and the foundations of a scalable, revenue‑generating model. Operating at the intersection of circular economy innovation, critical minerals recovery, and downstream refining, the organisation offers a differentiated solution to global supply chain challenges across recycling and resource processing. The Opportunity This is a rare opportunity for a commercially minded Chief Executive Officer to lead the business through its next stage of growth—translating proven technical innovation into real‑world deployment and market adoption. Reporting directly to the Board and working closely with the founding leadership during transition, the CEO will play a hands‑on role in shaping strategy, securing partnerships, and building a high‑performance organisation. Key responsibilities include: Defining and executing the commercialisation pathway, including customer acquisition, supply channels, and strategic partnerships Establishing a strong market position as a downstream refining solution across critical minerals and recycling value chains Securing feedstock, offtake, and pilot opportunities to drive early revenue pathways Leading engagement with investors, partners, and broader stakeholders to build a compelling commercial narrative Overseeing the delivery of demonstration‑scale operations and ensuring readiness for scale‑up Building organisational capability, systems, and culture to support growth Success in the role will be evidenced by: A clearly defined and executed commercialisation strategy Delivery of a demonstration plant generating both technical validation and commercial traction Established partnerships across supply and customer ecosystems Strong foundations for a scalable, revenue‑generating business within the medium term You You are an experienced executive with a track record of commercialising technology or industrial innovation in early‑stage or scaling environments. You are comfortable operating with ambiguity, balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution. Your background may include: Industrial technology, clean technology, resources, recycling, or adjacent sectors Experience in taking new technologies or processes to market Strong commercial acumen with the ability to translate technical capability into compelling value propositions Demonstrated success in building partnerships and navigating complex stakeholder environments Exposure to capital raising, investor engagement, or public markets (advantageous but not essential) Critical Requirement: A key element of this role is acting as the primary interface with investors and capital providers. As such, the successful candidate will be expected to take an “at‑risk” position in the business through a meaningful personal equity investment. This alignment is considered essential to establishing credibility with investors and demonstrating conviction in the commercial opportunity. You are a visible, credible leader who can build trust with boards, partners, customers, and investors alike, and you thrive in environments where you can shape direction, create momentum, and deliver tangible outcomes. The Rewards The opportunity to lead a breakthrough technology at a critical inflection point Significant influence over strategy, direction, and long‑term value creation Close engagement with an experienced and supportive Board The chance to build and scale a purpose‑driven organisation addressing global supply and sustainability challenges Competitive executive remuneration, including equity participation aligned with company growth and success This role offers both professional challenge and the potential to create meaningful impact in a rapidly evolving global market. null
