About The Position

Solcoa is building the next generation of American metalmaking, starting with rare earths — the metals of power and motion. We've developed a new chemistry that converts rare earth oxides into high-purity metals — the materials inside every EV, fighter jet, wind turbine, and data center — cleaner, cheaper, and faster than any conventional process. Now we're scaling it to thousands of tonnes of annual production. We're hiring a Chief Commercial Officer to lead Solcoa's sales, customer relationships, and commercial partnerships. Reporting to the CEO, you will turn customer demand into signed agreements and recurring revenue as we scale production. This is a hands-on role: you will win customers, close deals, and build the commercial team.
