At Glacier, we are taking on one of the world’s most pressing problems: trash. Did you know that in the US, we send over half of our recyclables to the landfill? We're working to fix that. In doing so, we’ll also be reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption, and depletion of natural resources.

Glacier’s first product is a robot that uses machine learning and a novel mechanical design to sort recyclables from trash more quickly, accurately and cheaply than any other sorter on the market. This robot will divert tons of recyclables (literally!) from landfills every day.

We’re looking for an experienced Account Executive to develop relationships with customers, drive complex sales deals, and help our founders develop the strategy and capacity planning for our near-term expansion. This role reports directly to our CEO.

• We’re backed by top-tier VCs and angels with extensive technical and industry expertise.
