Communications & Research Analyst

Company Description:

Claros Technologies is a venture-backed, deep-tech company solving the worldwide challenge of destroying PFAS in the environment. PFAS remediation is rapidly becoming a multi-billion-dollar, global market and is at the center of regulatory action in the US, Europe, and Asia that requires the removal of this carcinogen from drinking water, industrial processes, and waste sites. Claros has developed a patented, scalable destruction technology proven to fully destroy 99.99% of PFAS in customers’ samples.

We are a diverse team of scientists, business-builders, and impact leaders committed to solving problems without creating new ones. The company closed a $20M financing round in the beginning of 2024 with leading environment venture capital firms, which provides the credibility and resources required to convert current pilot users into full scale commercial customers as well as to sell easy-to-identify prospects across the globe.

If you are a mission driven, highly motivated Marketing Specialist, join us as we solve one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time.
