Executive Commercial Leader - Critical Minerals

CSG Talent is partnering with an emerging critical minerals developer entering a pivotal phase of growth as it progresses towards commercial production.

The business has already established a strong pipeline of strategic commercial opportunities and is now seeking an experienced commercial executive who can take those conversations through to signed agreements.

This is not a role focused on generating leads. It's about closing deals.

We're looking for someone with a proven track record of negotiating and executing complex commercial agreements, building long-term strategic partnerships, and converting opportunities into tangible business outcomes.

• Lead the company's commercial and business development activities.
• Progress existing strategic discussions through to executed commercial agreements.
• Structure and negotiate complex commercial arrangements with customers, strategic partners and industry stakeholders.
• Develop longterm partnerships that support project financing and commercial growth.
• Manage high value commercial negotiations from initial engagement through to execution.
• Work closely with executive leadership to shape commercial strategy and market positioning.
• Represent the business with customers, partners and investors globally.

You will have:

• 15+ years' commercial leadership experience within mining, critical minerals, battery materials, industrial technology, chemicals or related sectors.
• A demonstrated track record of closing complex commercial transactions, rather than simply generating opportunities.
• Experience negotiating LOIs, MOUs, strategic partnership agreements, offtake agreements, term sheets, licensing agreements or similar commercial contracts.
• Experience managing executive level negotiations with customers, Automotive OEMs, investors, trading houses or strategic partners.
• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to navigate complex, multi stakeholder negotiations.
• The credibility to operate as a senior representative of the business with global customers and partners.

You'll join an executive leadership team at a defining point in the company's growth, taking ownership of a live commercial pipeline with the opportunity to convert strategic discussions into long-term partnerships that will directly influence the future of the business.

If you have a reputation for getting deals across the line and are looking for an opportunity where your commercial impact will be immediately visible, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
