Shape the Future of Climate Tech with Phlair!

Fossil fuels have powered our economy for decades—at the cost of pollution and a changing climate. At Phlair, we’re reversing that equation. With our cost-efficient, scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, we pull CO₂ from the air to either store it permanently or repurpose it into CO₂-negative chemicals. Join us in enabling a carbon-negative future.

Why We’re Different?

We’ve developed a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, enabling scalable CO₂ capture. With partners like Frontier Climate, Stripe, and Shopify, we’re on track to make a global impact.

Our Project Dawn is our flagship initiative, setting the foundation to scale our technology and remove millions of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere. We're one of the only seven DAC companies with a proven offtake agreement. Phlair is poised to become a technology leader, leveraging renewable energy and low-cost DAC to provide clean energy solutions that go beyond carbon removal.

Is this a fit for me?

We're building for the 3-5% who are energized by winning and thrive under pressure. Our pace demands people who see excellence as non-negotiable and execution as everything. If you need extensive structure or prefer playing it safe, we're probably not the right fit.

Your mission at Phlair

As a Founders Associate, you work across whatever the company needs most — commercial traction, strategic analysis, customer research, or special projects. You operate with high autonomy and are expected to bring structure to ambiguity. You work closely with the commercial team, CEO, and technical teams to help turn technology progress into real market traction.

This role is ideal if you want to understand how deep-tech climate companies sell, position themselves, and navigate regulation-driven markets.

What You’ll Work On

• Drive go-to-market and business development efforts, from lead research to early customer conversations.
• Structure and maintain CRM data, sales funnels, and market intelligence, including building AI-enabled workflows and automations using tools like n8n.
• Track and analyze climate policy, regulation, and market signals that influence buyer behavior and demand for CDR.
• Support hiring efforts and internal team initiatives, from sourcing and screening candidates to helping shape culture and onboarding as the team grows.
• Tackle different operational topics.

You’ll do real work that matters.

What You Bring

• Graduated from a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in business, engineering, natural sciences, economics, or a related field.
• Prior internship experience in startups, consulting, policy research, sales, or venture is a plus, but not required.
• Strong interest in climate tech, carbon removal, energy, or industrial decarbonization.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to structure information and communicate clearly in writing and presentations.
• High ownership mentality, reliability, and comfort working in a fast-moving, unstructured environment.
