Communications and Brand Manager in Canberra

“BE THE CATALYST THAT DRIVES REAL CHANGE FOR OUR PLANET.”

Samsara Eco has one clear mission: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling.

Yes, it’s a mighty mission but it’s something every single one of us here at Samsara Eco is determined to achieve.

And it’s what motivates us to dedicate our time and energy to every single day.

Our technology is like our team.

One of a kind.

And we know that, so while we are creating technology to repair our planet, we’re also building a great place to grow careers.

A place where everyone can do the best work of their life, making meaningful impact on our planet and ourselves.

WHO WE ARE...

We’re a biotech innovator with a mission that matters.

We’re taking the 10 billion tonnes of plastics and textiles wasting away in landfill and recycling it – infinitely – to create a truly circular loop for packaging, clothing, airbags, and everything in between.

It means brands can make the products we all know and love without the environmental damage.

Because by using what we already have, we can end the world’s reliance on dirty fossil fuels to slow climate change and ensure we have a liveable planet for future generations.

This isn’t just a job. This is the work that matters most right now.

This role is based in Jerrabomberra, on the border of NSW/ACT approx. 30 mins from Canberra CBD
