Head - Sales

Position: Head – Sales - SWCNT-Based Static/ESD Concentrate Solutions

Company Overview

NoPo Nanotechnologies one of the few deep tech companies globally that leads the research and development in the nanotubes space. The company manufactures and sells high-quality single walled carbon nanotubes using proprietary methods known as HiPCO®. These nanotubes are used in a variety of applications, including energy storage (Li-ion, Na-ion batteries, etc.), space, defense, and electronics. No Po is currently scaling up production to meet the customer demands.

Position Overview

We are launching conductive additive product line for electrostatic discharge for elastomer and plastic industries. 0.1wt% of NoPo SWCNT can provide electrical resistance of 109-11 Ohm/square. This makes SWCNT a perfect replacement for carbon black for applications areas like transparent film/conductive packaging/films/coating/molded parts/elastomers and others. We are seeking an experienced Sales Head for market creation and to drive revenue growth for our Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) based permanent anti-static and ESD concentrate solutions. The successful candidate will lead global sales efforts targeting polymer, paint, epoxy, master batch and other industries, focusing on technical sales and relationship management with B2B customers.
