CEO / Business Co-Founder (f/m/d) role at startup PEELBACK

Business development

• Convert existing interest into signed LOIs and pilot agreements with EU recyclers and battery manufacturers.
• Own commercial strategy as PeelBack moves from pre-pilot validation to recycler-scale proof.

Operations & partnerships

• Build the operational and commercial foundation of the company alongside Anna Maria Dominic (CTO/technical founder).

Requirements

• *What you bring

Core experience

• *- Business development and fundraising experience, ideally in deep-tech, climate-tech or industrial/circular-economy startups.
• Comfort working against a hard regulatory deadline (EU battery regulation, Nov 2026) and translating technical validation into commercial traction.

Especially valuable

• Existing network among EU recyclers, battery manufacturers or materials-recovery buyers.
• Experience with accelerator/incubator environments (PeelBack has been through two startup accelerators).
• Familiarity with IP-heavy, patent-protected deep-tech ventures.

Benefits

Why join PeelBack

• A technology already validated at 95–99% purity, with a next-gen patent co-filed with a recognized green chemistry expert (Dr. John Warner).
• Real regulatory tailwind: the EU 2026 deadline makes PeelBack's solution urgent, not speculative.
• Founder equity: an indicative ~50% co-founder stake has already been discussed, to be finalized in the term sheet.

PeelBack welcomes co-founder candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, sexual identity, or any other characteristic. This is a search for the right partner to build the company with, not a conventional hire.
