Podback is the UK’s first coffee pod recycling service.
A not-for-profit organisation, it was created and is supported by the biggest names in coffee pod systems, NESCAFE Dolce Gusto, Nespresso and Tassimo. Our mission is to create a world where every coffee pod enjoyed, is recycled.
As Podback continues to grow we are looking to recruit a Partnership Mobilisation Manager to join our expanding team and help us to maximise the kerbside collection of coffee pods. Working with our Local Authority partners, you will be responsible for building positive relationships with their waste and recycling teams and will help these teams to integrate and apply our recycling services to maximum effect.
Your primary responsibilities include:
- The smooth implementation and adoption of Podback’s kerbside collection services within Local Authorities
- Building relationships with key stakeholders within our Local Authority partners collection, recycling and procurement teams.
- Setting and managing realistic performance targets with our partners to maximise the use and impact of our kerbside recycling services
- Managing multiple concurrent projects with Local Authority partners across the UK
- Solving problems and delivering solutions to overcome obstacles and challenges
Ideally you will have a working knowledge of Local Authority collection and recycling systems and of their procurement processes. You should be able to demonstrate that you are:
- Agile and adaptable with a flexible approach to changing workloads and demands
- An effective communicator able to communicate with a wide range of people at different levels both internally and externally, ensuring clear understanding and messaging throughout
- Collaborative and results driven to lead and deliver successful results and positive outcomes through collaboration and partnership.
The role is full-time, Monday-Friday. Our current work arrangements are hybrid, with some of the team operating out of an office in Chester. However you will be expected to travel within the UK as required by the projects you're working on.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join an exciting start-up, with major corporate backing, looking to deliver sustainable solutions. If you are seeking a role where you can make a positive difference, we look forward to hearing from you!
