## Description ABOUT OUTLAST   Outlast is disrupting the largest market you’ve never heard of. The bulk recyclables industry is a ~$1 trillion industry – yet is largely a technological desert. Outlast is transforming recyclables trade through technology. Our platform enables suppliers and buyers to safely and effortlessly transact their materials at the push of a button. Beyond connecting suppliers and buyers, we also provide global logistics, financing, and quality control. As a company, we are keenly focused on optimizing the customer experience and doing good for the environment by promoting recycling. The proof is in the facts: recycling 1 ton of material reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 7,000 miles driven by a passenger car. Outlast is poised for explosive growth, completing several rounds of funding and landing contracts that can scale to $100s of millions in revenue.   THE ROLE We’re looking for a Procurement Specialist to own scrap aluminum purchasing for Outlast.

Source, negotiate, and purchase material at volumes and pricing that meet our targets. This is the core of the job. Build supplier relationships. Identify, qualify, and onboard new suppliers. Grow our sourcing network beyond the existing bas
