Job description

Job Description

Are you passionate about sustainability, climate tech, and maritime innovation? Here’s your chance to co-found a venture redefining emissions control at sea—by bringing high-efficiency carbon capture technology directly onboard.

Our startup is building the world’s first plug-and-play carbon capture system tailored for the maritime industry—compact, scalable, and engineered to meet the world’s toughest emissions regulations without disrupting vessel operations.

Backed by top-tier research, a patent-pending membrane technology, and a proven founding team, we’re charting a new course in decarbonization—starting at sea.

The Opportunity

Join as Business Co-Founder and help take a lab-validated innovation to global deployment.

This carbon capture module is:

• 90% smaller than conventional solutions.
• 80% more cost-effective.
• 90% more energy efficient.

This solution targets a massive emissions problem (3% of global CO₂) in a highly regulated, hard-to-abate industry, and it has already caught the interest of major shipping players.

What You’ll Do

• Co-lead the venture’s business and commercial strategy from day one.
• Drive go-to-market plans, partnerships, and customer acquisition.
• Help with fundraising and investor relations with deep-tech and climate funds.
• Manage industry collaborations—especially with shipowners, logistics firms, and port authorities.
• Represent the company at maritime events, regulatory discussions, and investor pitches.

Who We’re Looking For

You might be the right fit if you:

• Have experience in maritime, sustainability, carbon markets, or clean tech.
• Understand the shipping ecosystem—regulations, operations, and economics.
• Are driven to build from scratch and shape a venture with global impact.
• Have networks in logistics, F&B, ports, shipowners, or climate finance.

Why Join?

• Be a founding leader in a $22B+ market with high regulatory urgency.
• Access funding and industry networks through elite venture programs.
• Build a solution that’s not just climate-smart, but operationally seamless.
• Deploy in one of the world’s busiest ports—and scale globally.
