About the role
About Seabound
Seabound is an award-winning startup decarbonizing global shipping by capturing CO₂ emissions directly onboard ships. To date, we’ve completed two world-first pilots; raised >$10M in equity and grant funding from top investors including Lowercarbon Capital, Collaborative Fund, Y Combinator, and Eastern Pacific Shipping; and partnered with leading shipping and industrial players. Having recently completed our first full-scale commercial systems, Seabound is now entering its commercialization and scale-up phase.
The Role
We are seeking a Head of Business Development to lead and grow Seabound’s commercial function. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will own customer and key partner relationships; drive near-term commercial execution; and help build the foundations of Seabound’s long-term sales, business development, and partnerships capabilities.
This role will start highly hands-on and execution-focused, with scope to define longer-term strategy and take on broader commercial leadership responsibilities as the company scales.
