MOOW are looking for a committed, visionary, and action-oriented CEO who wants to drive significant change in the construction industry. The company is focused on developing the building materials of the future, based on willow wood – one of nature’s fastest-growing and most sustainable resources.

Now, we are looking for the right person to lead the company out of the development and design phase and onto the market.

The position is dynamic and versatile. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Defining and implementing the company’s strategic direction, ensuring progress from prototype to commercial partnerships, including sourcing and supply chain management.

  • Leading fundraising activities, preparing pitch decks, and liaising with potential investors.

  • Developing and executing an international go-to-market strategy – you will take on responsibility, but we will support you all the way.

  • Are skilled at negotiating agreements, including B2B agreements, building relationships, and driving progress.

  • Understand the fundraising process and know what investors are looking for.

  • Are curious about biomaterials, and have some knowledge about the construction industry, or cleantech – though this is not a requirement.
