About The Position

Remora is seeking a VP of Operations to build, lead, and scale our end-to-end operations as we transition from R&D into production of complex, real-world industrial systems. This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role owning supply chain and manufacturing, plant-operations, quality control, field service, and facilities maintenance. As a member of the executive team, you will work closely with the CEO on scaling operations, solving real-time challenges, and driving rapid and efficient growth. We're building modular carbon capture systems for vehicles — turning exhaust into beverage-grade CO2 sold to breweries and greenhouses. We deploy in regions facing severe CO2 shortages, where prices are highest, allowing us to generate high margins without tax credits or carbon credits. We've signed up some of the largest companies in the world to pilot our technology, including iconic multibillion-dollar brands, top trucking companies, and some of the most recognizable Fortune 100 companies. We’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from top investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners.
