Redesigning the way colours are made. Sparxell developed the world's first performance pigment from plants, inspired by nature, using cellulose as feedstock and nanostructured in a wide range of vibrant shades. Our mission is to make all colourants nature-positive. Sparxell’s patented technology arises from multiple years of interdisciplinary research performed at the University of Cambridge. It has been awarded several major innovation prizes, validating Sparxell’s ambitions to foster sustainability in advanced materials, with a targeted impact on multiple sectors, from cosmetics to fashion, packaging, paint and food.

You hold a Ph.D. or an M.Sc./M.Eng./B.Sc degree in polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, soft matter physics, colloidal science, materials science, organic chemistry or chemical engineering, with at least 3 years of relevant academic and/or industrial experience.

You have a goal-oriented and strategic mindset to ensure the successful delivery of projects and adhere to the long-term vision for the company's development efforts.

You are keen to engage in a fast-paced and exciting working environment in which you will play a decisive role in the company’s future success.
