Business Development Manager - Critical Minerals and Clean Coal
Novasensa | Delhi NCR | Full-Time
We are looking for someone who gets excited talking about technology and wants to help build India's clean energy future.
Novasensa is a deep-tech startup working on two of India's most important industrial challenges. Our NovaGenesis platform recovers critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel from used batteries and e-waste. Our NovaX platform improves coal quality using a dry, waterless process. Both technologies are validated, government-backed, and ready to scale commercially.
We need a Business Development Manager to help us build the relationships and pipeline that will take us there.
Why This Role
- You will work directly with the founders on real deals and wear many hats
- You will get complete training on both technologies - we will teach you everything you need to know, but you need to learn fast and act faster
- You will represent Novasensa in meetings with industry partners, feedstock suppliers, coal companies, and government offices
- You will see the full commercial cycle - from finding a lead to closing a deal
- High performers become eligible for ESOPs after 18 months - we want you to own what you build
This is an early-stage role at a company that is growing. The person who joins now will grow with it.
