Office Coordinator

Support the mission behind the science.

Contribute to being the operational backbone of a biotech company tackling plastic pollution.

Samsara Eco is on a mission to solve plastic pollution for good. We've built technology that recycles plastic and textiles infinitely - turning 10 billion tonnes of landfill waste into new packaging, clothing, and more. No new fossil fuels required. Just endless reuse of what already exists. Alongside our Canberra manufacturing plant, we have people based in China, Canada, the US, and Singapore, as well as Australia.

Our technology is like our team. One of a kind. And we know that, so while we are creating technology to repair our planet, we’re also building a great place to grow careers. A place where everyone can do the best work of their life, making meaningful impact on our planet and ourselves.

This isn’t just a job. This is the work that matters most right now.
