Seven Clean Seas is an ocean-impact social enterprise; and what does that really mean? We build high-impact projects that clean the ocean, whilst providing stable work for local people across Asia. Our business services both increase this impact through revenue, and via supporting businesses ‘do better’ - specifically on their journey to plastic neutrality.

We have big ambitions to create projects all over the world, and want someone to join us to support in making it happen.

The Business Development Executive will work closely with the Founding team and existing sales team to drive, shape and grow the partnership base of Seven Clean Seas, engaging with global customers on a daily basis while helping us to build and scale to remove ever more plastic from the ocean. Standout clients (so far) include The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (Qatar World Cup 2022), The Economist, SALT Brewery and Lunar.

The Business Development Executive plays a central role in our Growth Strategy and it’s an exciting opportunity to have a decisive impact on the business starting from day 1.
