Job Description

Company Overview

Outlast is disrupting the largest market you’ve never heard of. The bulk recyclables industry is a ~$1 trillion industry – yet is largely a technological desert. Outlast is transforming recyclables trade through technology. Our platform enables suppliers and buyers to safely and effortlessly transact their materials at the push of a button. Beyond connecting suppliers and buyers, we also provide global logistics, financing, and quality control. As a company, we are keenly focused on optimizing the customer experience and doing good for the environment by promoting recycling. On the latter, the proof is in the facts : recycling 1 ton of material is the equivalent to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of more than 7,000 miles in a passenger car. Outlast is poised for explosive growth, completing several rounds of funding and landing contracts that can scale to $100s of millions in revenue.

• Test campaign formats, offers, and channels; continuously optimize based on results.
• Use feedback loops from both sales and prospects to refine strategies in real time.
• Foundation for Scale

• Identify highest-ROI opportunities for team expansion and budget allocation.
