About the role

ABOUT OUTLAST

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. The proof is in the facts: recycling 1 ton of material reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 7,000 miles driven by 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.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Procurement Specialist to own scrap aluminum purchasing for Outlast. This is a hands-on buying role — you’ll be on the phone with suppliers, negotiating pricing and terms, placing orders, and making sure we hit our procurement targets.

You’ll report directly to the VP of Finance & Business Operations and work closely with our operations, sales, and technology teams. This role is being built from the ground up — you’ll take over sourcing responsibilities currently handled by our founding team, establish new supplier relationships, and put basic procurement processes in place.

You don’t need to come from the scrap metal industry. We can teach you the market. What we can’t teach is hustle, curiosity, and the ability to figure things out without a manual.
