The company
30% of global agricultural raw materials end up as wasted resources. In other words, 6% of our global carbon emissions are generated for nothing. That’s it.
At Hubcycle, we are reshaping the food industry by transforming overlooked by-products into competitive ingredients. Our approach hacks conventional supply chains, demanding boldness, peak performance, pragmatism, and collaboration. However, this does not prevent us from upholding and delivering the highest food safety standards.
We act as professionals, always.
Our culture
We believe a great workplace is about working alongside exceptional people who push us forward. We cultivate a culture of excellence, ownership, and impact, ensuring that each person at Hubcycle contributes meaningfully to our mission.
This requires creativity, resilience, and a hunger to challenge the norm. We are not here to play it safe; we are here to build a company that changes how the world sources food.
We move fast. We expect excellence.
We challenge each other constantly. We don’t hide behind excuses. We don’t tolerate mediocre standards, negligence, nor carelessness.
This environment is demanding and high-impact but deeply rewarding.
Let’s be clear: Even if this sounds sexy, Hubcycle is not for everyone.
So please read on.
Our mission
We buy what others discard.
We spot and assess agri-food by-products, turning them into high-quality, competitive & sustainable ingredients.
We’re not just avoiding waste, we’re rethinking the supply chain, creating a fully upcycled ecosystem for tomorrow’s food.
By connecting industry players to untapped resources, Hubcycle boosts circularity and food access, doing more, with less.
Role & Missions
You will be our Senior Regional Sales Representative for China. We have done the groundwork — mapped the markets, identified the appetite, confirmed the pricing edge. The opportunity is real, it is large, and it is ready to move.
Now we need someone who won't just manage a territory — someone who will hunt it down, own it, and build it faster than anyone expects. That someone is a deal-maker first, a networker always, and a builder by instinct.
Your mission: build Hubcycle's commercial footprint across your region — with an immediately active pipeline, closed deals in the first 90 days, and a territory that grows because you led it right.
Day-to-day, you will:
-
Leverage your deep local network to identify, qualify, and close deals across all Hubcycle product categories in your region.
-
Activate your contacts immediately. Your network is a strategic asset. We expect a live CRM pipeline within your first month.
Measured by: pipeline volume and quality at 30 days.
-
Hunt, negotiate, and close — directly with clients, with full autonomy on deals. You are the tip of the spear in the first 90 days.
Measured by: number of deals where you held direct client relationships in months 1–3.
-
Bypass conventional sales cycles by tapping into non-standard decision paths — your relationships are your competitive edge.
-
Activate local logistics networks to facilitate smooth delivery and operations in your territory.
-
Build and maintain a rigorous sales pipeline with a focus on upsell and cross-sell across the portfolio.
-
Provide regular reporting on pipeline activity, market intelligence, and competitive landscape directly to the CEO.
-
Contribute to defining the go-to-market approach for your region. Later, we'll expect you to tell us what's achievable — not just execute targets.
You can count on us to push you to deliver the best version of yourself. And we expect you to push us to become a better version of Hubcycle. This role comes with an uncapped commission structure
The team around you
You operate with full autonomy in your territory — but you are never alone. You can count on Hubcycle's full ecosystem behind you: category experts, sourcing specialists, quality assurance, product development, logistics, and finance.
You will be guided into our specific model by our C-level team, including the CEO. Your reporting line goes directly to the CEO, who is highly involved and supportive on both sales and technical matters.
You will also work in close collaboration with the Head of Sourcing to navigate the specificities of sourcing and selling ingredients derived from by-products and side-streams. Working with a FSSC22000-certified company strengthens your credibility with every buyer you approach.
Eventually, strong performances in your market may trigger local hires to support you on the ground.
