Role Overview:

The Corporate Development Manager at Maltha Group will play a pivotal role in delivering our strategic vision to diversify product offerings and enter new geographic and material markets. This role exists to fill a key capability gap identified in our longterm strategy — enabling expansion into regions where Maltha currently has limited or no presence and accelerating growth in emerging secondrawmaterial sectors such as PVB, flat glass, fine fraction, CSP, and photovoltaics.

By building strategic insight, identifying market opportunities, and driving the execution of growth initiatives, the Corporate Development Manager strengthens Maltha’s ability to capture value, grow revenue, and reinforce its position as a leader within the glass recycling sector.

   • Lead market-entry assessments for emerging 2nd raw material markets (e.g., PVB, photovoltaic glass, flat glass, powder products) and build business cases for investment.  
   • Analyse market demand to ensure alignment between sourcing and commercial opportunities, supporting operational effectiveness.  
2. Commercial & Product Diversification 
   
   • Support expansion of flat glass sales outside Belgium and powder sales beyond Portugal, driving revenue through new customer segments.  
   • Develop markets for Fine Fraction and CSP by identifying commercially viable outlets that simultaneously improve operational efficiency and mass balance.  
3. Partnerships, Client Development & Industry Presence 
   
   • Build new customer relationships in emerging markets and convert them into longterm strategic partnerships.  
   • Represent Maltha at major industry conferences, trade associations, and policy forums to raise visibility and influence sector direction.  
4. M&A and Strategic Growth Initiatives 
   
   • Support the Managing Director in identifying, assessing, and executing M&A opportunities that strengthen Maltha’s market presence or expand the Group footprint.  
   • Coordinate crossfunctional teams through due diligence, valuations, and integration planning. 
5. DataDriven Strategic Insight 
   
   • Provide continuous market intelligence, competitor analysis, and strategic recommendations to inform leadership decisionmaking.  
   • Prepare reports, investment proposals, and strategic papers for senior leadership and the wider Renewi organisation. 
6. PostDeal Integration & Value Realisation 
   
   • Work with operational and commercial leaders to ensure successful onboarding of new markets, customers, or acquired entities. 
   • Track value creation through performance metrics, synergy delivery, and ongoing market development.

Skills & Experience:
Essential 

• Strong background in corporate development, strategy, business development, or M&A. 
• Proven market analysis and financial modelling capability. 
• Experience developing new markets or product lines, ideally within recycling, manufacturing, materials, or circulareconomy sectors. 
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence crossfunctional teams and external stakeholders. 
• Strong commercial acumen and strategic judgement. 

Desirable 

• Experience in sustainabilitydriven industries. 
• Knowledge of secondary rawmaterial markets or recycled materials. 
• Exposure to crossborder market development.  

Qualifications:

• Degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Sustainability, or related field. 
• MBA, MSc, CFA or similar qualifications beneficial but not required.
