LiquiGlide is an exciting, fast-growing start-up whose mission is to fundamentally alter interfaces between liquids and solids to eliminate waste, save lives, and enable a new engineering paradigm. Originally developed at MIT, LiquiGlide’s technology platform enables custom-design of slippery coatings for endless applications—packaging, medical devices, and manufacturing.

We will bring about a greener, safer, more efficient world.  LiquiGlide® has won a variety of innovation awards and been featured on CNN, NBC, ABC News, BBC, and Fox News, as well in The New York Times, and we are working with some of the largest and most successful businesses across many industries.

Building on the success of Elixir, LiquiGlide has collaborated with renowned industrial designer

Yves Behar to create “EveryDrop TM ” Tottles. Enabled by our patented liquid surface technology,

these new packages (and LiquiGlide-enabled tottles generally) represent a new dispensing

platform for viscous products that are currently constrained to jars, tubes, and pump bottles. The

EveryDrop platform allows consumers to see how much product is left, easily dispense it, and

recycle the package, enabling a superior user experience and a counter-worthy package with a

differentiated silhouette on the shelf. Our mission is to make the EveryDrop dispensing platform

ubiquitous. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President of Marketing and

Business Development will identify new business partners and opportunities, develop outreach

strategies, and facilitate commercialization programs, and establish a pipeline of prospective

customers for EveryDrop packages. The role is based at LiquiGlide’s office in Cambridge, MA.
