Director Business Development - Sibelco

Sibelco mines and manufactures a wide range of mineral products for both local and international markets. Founded in 1872, Sibelco began in Europe and has grown into one of the largest industrial minerals companies in the world - privately owned and multinational. Our vision for the future of Sibelco is to become the global leader in the mining, processing, and selling of silica sand, and a regional leader in clays, feldspar, olivine, and glass recycling. We operate as one team with a common objective and strive for excellence by continuously improving our overall performance. We take ownership, respect each other’s differences and contributions, and adhere to the highest ethical standards in the way we conduct business.

Working closely with the VP Corporate Development and many cross-functional stakeholders within our minerals and recycling activities, you will be responsible for identifying & suggesting, as well as initiating & executing new business and significant growth opportunities for Sibelco in order to drive growth beyond the business-as-usual within Sibelco’s strategic framework.

This is a very entrepreneurial but also hands-on role, where you will not only be responsible for new business development activities related to our key minerals but also for new recycling ventures and opportunities.

Thanks to your strong business development capabilities, technical savviness and financial skills, you will be instrumental in developing and scaling new ideas from scratch and make sure Sibelco continue to adapt to new markets and grow global opportunities.

You ideally have acquired more than 15 years of experience in business development, project management, venturing, and growth-related roles in various industrial, international and challenging environments. Knowledge of industrial minerals, recycling or related industries would be a plus.

Your English must be fluent as it will be your day-to-day language. Any other additional language(s) will be welcome.

But most importantly, if you embrace our core values, and if this role sparks your enthusiasm to apply your passion to contribute in a meaningful way as a part of Sibelco’s team of unique talents within a diverse international business community, then we very much look forward to hearing from you.
