About The Position

Remora is seeking a Sales Operations Associate to support and scale our commercial efforts across both our carbon capture systems and the CO₂ we capture. In this role you will serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO helping to drive the day-to-day execution of sales operations, including deal support, prospecting, sales enablement, and pipeline management. The position plays a critical role in enabling a smooth, organized sales process by driving core operating rhythms, owning tactical follow-ups, maintaining accurate commercial data, and coordinating across internal and external stakeholders. The ideal candidate is an analytical, proactive professional who supports deal execution, improves sales processes, and drives efficient, transparent commercial progress in ambiguous environments. We're building carbon capture for trains and trucks. We generate revenue for railroads and trucking companies by extracting, purifying, and selling CO2 from their exhaust. Our technology can capture up to 90% of the CO2 in the vehicle's exhaust, while also reducing soot, particulate matter, and NOx. We've partnered with some of the largest railroads and trucking companies, including Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Ryder, and Werner. We've now raised $117 million from prominent investors, including Lowercarbon Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and Y Combinator.
