About Talus

Talus' mission is to realize humanity's sustainable future by improving access to food and fuel for all. We achieve this by producing green ammonia -- the fundamental component of all synthetic fertilizers -- using renewable electricity, water, and air.

We're building a distributed network of modular green ammonia systems globally, offering reliable, carbon-free ammonia to our partners at a fraction of the current market price. Our first system is operational in Kenya, and we aim to expand our platform to enhance access to locally produced renewable energy and alternative fuels worldwide.

As the company scales its U.S. project pipeline and enters a critical phase of growth, they are looking to bring on a Business Development Manager to work directly alongside the President, helping drive project execution and new development across the Midwest/Plains region.

• Assist in structuring and advancing long-term ammonia offtake agreements

• Support commercial efforts tied to selling green attributes to corporate partners (e.g., food & beverage, agriculture)

• Collaborate closely with deployment and operations teams to move projects from concept through execution

• Support future international expansion efforts (South America) as the platform scales

Key Requirements:

• Experience in project development, land acquisition, or business development within renewables (wind/solar) or agriculture/ethanol

• Strong understanding of electric utilities, power markets, or rural electric cooperatives

• Experience working with landowners, farmers, or rural stakeholders

• Ability to operate in a high-autonomy, early-stage environment
