Samsara represents the coming together of co-founders, the Australian National University (ANU), one of Australia's largest retailers and Main Sequence Ventures, to address a big planetary problem and build the kind of solution the world has been waiting for. Not only will Samsara’s technology play a key role in solving the world's plastic recycling problems and eliminating the production of plastics from fossil fuels, our commercial potential is compelling.

- Oversee the operational setup (layout, end-stage construction, commissioning, operation) of a production facility in Victoria
- Develop robust reporting and production disciplines.
- Workplace Health & Safety - drive a zero harm culture

- You have strong financial and commercial acumen and outstanding critical path analysis skills
- You have outstanding communications skills and an ability to build relationships with external and internal stakeholders from all levels which makes you a true enabler
- You have a focus on safety, a passion for continuous improvement and ideally a working understanding of chemistry
- You have an ability to embrace change and work at the fast pace of a scale up business, but more importantly, embrace it safely and practically. Your success will in part be driven by your attention to detail but also you 80/20 mentality where required to achieve critical milestones but not compromise the integrity of the technology and product
- Degree qualified e.g. Chemical Engineering

Ideally, we would like our COO to be based in Canberra or Sydney. Some travel will be required to establish the first facility that is expected to be in Melbourne.

- **Flat structure** -
