Head of Sales & Marketing

We're hiring a Head of Sales & Marketing at Free The Sea.

We are on a mission to prevent plastic entering the ocean by creating waste management infrastructure in underserved coastal communities in Indonesia, collecting plastic directly from households and re-routing it away from the sea.

We're not a corporate. We're not a startup chasing metrics. We're a team that genuinely cares about the ocean, about the communities connected to it, and about doing things the right way. If that resonates with you, keep reading.

We're looking for a Head of Sales & Marketing who is equal parts thinker and doer — someone who can set the direction and roll up their sleeves to make it happen. A real player-coach.

You'll own both functions end to end: building the brand and closing the business. You'll drive revenue across our Impact Partnerships (corporate sponsor ships and philanthropic partnerships) and our recycled & upcycled products offtake channels. You'll work closely with our existing marketing team and regional sales managers.

This is not a role for someone who needs a big budget or a perfectly defined brief. It's for someone who thrives in meaningful, hands‑on environments where creativity and commercial impact go hand in hand.

• Brand stewardship - keeping Free The Sea's identity consistent, sharp, and unmistakably ours
• People-first storytelling - campaigns and content with real humans at the centre
• Inbound lead generation - systems and content that attract the right partners and buyers organically
• Impact Partnership sales - B2B outreach and closing across corporate sponsors and philanthropic partners
• Product offtake sales - building commercial relationships for recycled and upcycled products
• Marketing and sales strategy — owning the roadmap and connecting everything back to impact

• 7–12 years across marketing, branding, or B2B sales - ideally both
• Background in nonprofit, sustainability, social enterprise, or purpose-driven brands
• Proven B2B sales track record - you've opened doors, built pipelines, and closed deals
• Strong brand instincts and hands-on inbound/growth experience - we need both
• Data-literate - you track what matters and make decisions based on it
• Has managed a small team or is ready to step into that role
• A social heart. You genuinely care about the ocean and communities. Non-negotiable.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
