About Us:
SunDrive is one of Australia's most exciting innovators, operating in one of the world's most compelling spaces – renewable energy technology. We are on a mission to unlock solar's full potential by revolutionizing how solar cells are made, unleashing new heights of efficiency and sustainability.
Founded in 2015 by two UNSW graduates, we have come a long way from the breakthrough made in their garage to producing the world’s most efficient commercial-sized solar cell.
Since 2022, we have secured over $45 million in funding from Australia’s top venture capital firms (Blackbird, Main Sequence, Virescent, and Mike Cannon-Brookes’s private investment fund, Grok), tech founders, a former Australian Prime Minister, and the Australian Government.
About the Role:
As a Senior Commercial Lead for SunDrive, you will play a key role in expanding our technology into the global semiconductor industry. Your work will help us build high-value partnerships that unlock new commercial opportunities and ensure our technology is positioned for global impact.
You’ll be responsible for identifying, shaping, and converting strategic commercial opportunities—particularly with semiconductor manufacturers and equipment partners. Your deep industry understanding will help us build trust with customers, map emerging opportunities (initially focused on panel-level plating, automation, and tooling), and tailor our value proposition to solve meaningful challenges.
In this role, you’ll work cross-functionally with our executive, technical, and product teams to align technology with market needs, and provide input into our commercial strategy. Reporting to our Chief Operating Officer, you’ll be based in Europe (Southern Germany/Austria preferred) and travel to the US and Asia to develop and manage key accounts, as required.
