About InCycling:

Every year €26 billion worth of perfectly usable chemical raw materials are getting destroyed, generating millions of tonnes of avoidable CO emissions and hazardous waste, not because they lack value, but because no system exists to capture it. InCycling is changing that. We are building a cloud-native AI-driven B2B platform with deep SAP integration, automated regulatory compliance workflows, and ML-based supply-vs-demand matching for scalable surplus chemical management. We are live with our first global DAX-tier enterprise pilot across 7 production sites in 4 countries and 3 continents with over 500 tonnes of surplus chemicals already in our deal pipeline. You would be joining at the moment where the foundation you build will define how the platform scales.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, who believe in our mission. If you do not match 100% of the requirements, but believe you can do the job, please apply: perfect candidates do not exist, but wonderful colleagues do. Qualifikation: Befristet: n.a.
