AMP is hiring an End Market Development Manager to help advance our offtake commercialization strategy, develop high-value end markets, and build strategic partnerships across recyclables and organics.

Role Overview

The End Market Development Manager will help guide AMP’s strategy and execution of  end market development commercialization and strategic partnerships across recyclables and organics. The role combines immediate commercial responsibility–supporting long-term offtake agreements and strategic customer relationships – with the development of new end markets and partnerships that improve project economics that supports AMP’s scaling.

This position will transform AMP’s approach to material commercialization from transactional sales into a strategic capability that drives value creation across all waste fractions. The mandate includes commercially validating new market pathways and developing strategic partnerships for organics and advanced materials recovery, including composting, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, methanolysis, SRF/RDF, and other emerging end-market opportunities. Success in this role will be measured by the development of new strategic partnerships and commercial agreements that increase the value of materials recovered by AMP facilities.

The position reports to the Managing Director, Commercial Strategy & Partnerships, and will work cross-functionally with R&D, Operations, and Finance.

Strategic Deal Origination and Execution

Support origination and execution of strategic partnerships with organic processors, advanced recyclers, petrochemical firms, and materials producers where AMP’s systems can serve as integrated feedstock or offtake solutions.
