About LiqTech

LiqTech is a medium-sized cleantech company with around 100 passionate employees located in Ballerup and Hobro, Denmark. Listed on NASDAQ in New York, we have spent more than two decades developing and delivering advanced water treatment and emission control solutions based on our proprietary silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes and filters.

We’re driven by innovation, collaboration, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Our decision lines are short, and our teams work closely together to make things happen.

In this key role, you’ll work with industries such as steel, chemicals, petrochemicals, mining, power generation, and food processing — sectors where water treatment and reuse are essential to both sustainability and operational excellence.

You’ll be based in Denmark (Ballerup or Hobro) and collaborate closely with our international team and customer base. Expect around 40–60 travel days per year across Europe and the U.S.

Your Key Responsibilities

Your main tasks will include:

• Developing and executing sales strategies for the industrial process and wastewater segment
• Engaging directly with end-users to identify, qualify, and close opportunities for ceramic filtration systems
• Building long-term partnerships with EPCs, system integrators, and technology providers
• Translating customer challenges into technical and commercial solutions together with our engineering team
• Leading negotiations and closing deals that balance short-term wins with long-term strategic relationships
• Representing LiqTech at key industry events, conferences, and exhibitions
• Providing market insights and customer feedback to help refine our solutions and strategy

You will report to SVP Commercial and collaborate closely with our global sales, marketing, and engineering teams.
