Job description

About Critical.

At Critical., we’re rewriting the narrative for plastic waste. Our flagship material, Cleanstone, is made from 100% recycled plastics and is leading the charge in sustainable building materials. Think of us as the “Apple of green design and circular building materials”—cutting-edge, beautiful, near carbon neutral, circular, and transformative. We started Critical. to be good tīpuna (ancestors) so generations beyond us can thrive. We’ve spent the last 6 years developing world-leading technology to transform hard-to-recycle plastics into beautiful, durable materials that accelerate the built environment toward circularity.

As a Māori company, we seek to uplift the mauri (life force) of te taiao (the natural world) and partner with iwi Māori and indigenous communities to deploy our technology and products worldwide.

The Role

We’re growing fast — inbound leads are flowing quickly. We’re looking for a part-time Sales Rep to help reduce the sales cycle, respond promptly, and close deals with architects, designers, and brands who want to use Cleanstone. This is not a cold-calling role; we already have leads. Your responsibilities include :

  • Manage ~20+ active deals weekly in Pipedrive
  • Respond to new leads within 8 hours (first call + email)
  • Qualify projects, send samples, and lock in review calls
  • Prepare and send quotes within 24 hours
  • Follow our proven playbook to maintain momentum (no deal idle >

3 days)

  • Handle objections with care and provide technical / design resources
  • Close deals or book the next action (order, follow-up, spec-in, or site visit)
  • Duplicate and track won deals for future sales opportunities
  • Who You Are / What We Need

    You’re more than a salesperson—you’re a trusted guide who listens, responds, and helps customers imagine what’s possible with Critical. Cleanstone. You’re service-oriented, detail-focused, organized, and thrive in a pipeline environment.

    Must-Have Skills & Attributes

  • 2 years’ experience in sales (bonus : architecture, design, or building materials)
  • Understanding of architectural specification processes and tender processes; ability to convert architectural drawings into quotes
  • Comfortable working to a sales cadence and targets
  • Organised and disciplined : able to juggle 20+ active deals at once
  • Tech-savvy : CRM (Pipedrive preferred), Google Workspace
  • Self-starter who thrives in remote, flexible environments
  • Nice-to-Haves

  • Previous experience selling into design, fit-out, or construction industries
  • Knowledge of sustainable design, green building, or circular economy principles
  • Remuneration & Benefits

  • Base Salary : $70,000 pro rata at $42,000
  • Commission : 3% to 6% - paid upon client payment
  • Why Join Critical.?

  • Impact : Help turn waste into taonga and transform the building materials industry
  • Purpose : Join a kaupapa-driven team guided by tiakitanga (guardianship) and manaakitanga (care)
  • Growth : Work in a fast-scaling startup with strong demand
  • Flexibility : 24 hours / week, remote-friendly with potential to go permanent full time depending on performance
  • Support : Work directly with the founder, learning and contributing to scaling systems
  • How to Apply

    Send your CV and a cover letter to telling us why you’re the sales guide we need. Bonus points if you share examples of deals you’ve closed in architecture, design, or building materials.

    Our Values

    As a Māori company we uplift the mauri of te taiao as our health depends on the wellbeing of our natural world. We aim to partner with iwi Māori and Indigenous communities as we scale globally. We value great people above great ideas and strive to create tūrangawaewae for our team, fostering manaaki as we navigate our journey to the mission. Guided by Māoritanga, we seek to restore the environment for future generations.

    Kaihoahoa atawhai. Invention by empathy. Whāia te iti kahurangi. Ambitious to change the world.
