Customer & Commercial Executive | Perth, WA | Executive Leadership Team

We built Australia's only geological repository. Now we need an outstanding commercial leader to deliver the next phase of our growth.

About Tellus

Tellus operates Sandy Ridge, Australia's first and only geological repository for hazardous and low-level radioactive waste, in WA's Goldfields region. We help Australian industry start up, scale up and clean up safely and responsibly, permanently isolating the wastes that others can't. Our work underpins the clean energy transition, resources sector growth, energy decommissioning and national environmental remediation.

We're a committed team, driven by a purpose to clean up Australia of hazardous waste, and we're growing.

The role

This is a new executive role, reporting to the CEO, and joining a high-performing Executive Leadership Team, who are shaping the future of Australia's industrial landscape. You will lead how Tellus grows, wins, prices and contracts work, across Sales & Business Development, Prime Contracting, Logistics Solutions, and Customer Solutions & Growth. Our teams bring deep customer and technical knowledge. You bring the growth leadership that brings them together and scales the business.

At Tellus, we judge every deal on margin, risk and reputation, not revenue alone. We want someone who puts customers at the centre, builds a growth program that connects to where the business is going, and turns that growth into earnings.

This is your chance to build the commercial engine of a nationally significant business. You will:

- Build a multi-year growth program, grow our addressable market and open new sectors and geographies
- Own our customer relationships,



with one view of every customer
- Map the pathway from growth to earnings, so every tonne we win adds margin
- Build the commercial governance that makes growth secure: stage gates, risk pricing and sound contracts
- Partner with Operations so that what we sell, we deliver safely and profitably

About you

You're an outstanding commercial leader from industrials, mining, mining services or waste, with a drive for results that people want to follow. You've created growth, not just ridden it: you've built a multi-year growth program, grown an addressable market and shown how it translated into earnings. You put customers at the centre, you know when to walk away from a deal, and you connect every pursuit to the strategy behind it. You bring senior customer relationships across WA's resources, energy or industrial sectors.

Experience in waste, environmental services or decommissioning will set you apart.

This is a genuine step up for a commercial leader ready to join an executive team.
