Thermal Ceramics makes materials that protect people, machines and the planet.

It's technical, yes, but it's also about sustainability, safety, and shaping the future of transport.
This role puts you at the heart of our global growth strategy. You'll lead business development across regions, helping us bring smarter, safer thermal solutions to OEMs and Tier 1s. It's commercial, collaborative, and full of opportunity to make a meaningful impact - not just for our customers, but for the wider world.
*The role*
You'll lead global business development for our automotive customers, with a focus on EV and ICE applications. That means spotting opportunities, shaping strategy, and working closely with regional teams to turn plans into results. You'll also be the one making sure we're in the right conversations, with the right people, at the right time.

- Keep the new business pipeline fresh, focused and forward-looking
- Champion innovation in automotive applications with product and tech teams
- Attend industry events and stay on top of trends
- Collaborate with sales, engineering, customer service and production
Qualifications
*About you / What you'll bring*
- Degree in Business or similar, or equivalent experience
- At least 5 years in a commercial role working with OEMs and Tier 1s
- Solid understanding of EV and ICE applications (ESS/Fuel Cell knowledge is a bonus)

- A knack for turning technical detail into commercial opportunity
*What you'll get*
- A remote-first role with global scope
- Travel opportunities (up to 50%)
- The chance to shape strategy in a growing, sustainability-focused market
- A collaborative team across regions and disciplines
- Competitive salary and benefits (we'll talk specifics when you apply)
