Grant & Commercial Proposal Coordinator

About RenewCO2

RenewCO2 makes carbon-negative chemicals and fuels. Our electrocatalytic CO2 utilization technology runs on electricity, water, and waste CO2, and the product drops straight into existing industrial supply chains. Because the process is energy-efficient, our cost structure competes with fossil-derived incumbents rather than relying on a green premium.

We are venture-backed, and we have won grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, DARPA, the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology, and Breakthrough Energy, among others. The technology is demonstrated at pilot scale with customers, and we are now building toward commercial scale.

The company started in the United States, where most of our R&D is executed, while product development and manufacturing happen in India.

Our customers are chemical, fuel, and materials producers across Asia, Europe, and North and Latin America. Your work has to hold up for a procurement team in Rotterdam, a process engineer in Houston, and a plant manager in Gujarat, not just one of them.

This role is based in Chikkaballapur, Karnataka, at Ohmium International, which builds green hydrogen electrolyzers at a gigafactory there. RenewCO2 has a joint development agreement with Ohmium: working beside a partner that already makes electrochemical stacks at volume shortens our path to manufacturing at scale.

Non-dilutive funding and commercial bids are two of the most consequential work streams at our stage, and both get won or lost on execution details: a compliance matrix, a budget justification that reconciles, a letter of commitment that arrives before the deadline instead of after it. You own that execution.

You will run the mechanics of every grant application and every commercial proposal we submit. The calendar, the outline, the compliance checklist, the assembly, the correspondence and follow-up, the submission itself. Our technical and commercial leaders then spend their time on content and strategy instead of forms and formatting.

This is a hands-on job. You will be building the documents yourself rather than directing someone else who builds them, and you will learn a good deal about electrochemistry and about how large industrial customers buy along the way.

You will work directly with our CTO and CEO, the U.S. technical team, university and industrial partners, and counterparts at Ohmium under our joint development agreement.

• Track a pipeline of funding opportunities across U.S. federal programs, Indian national and Karnataka state programs, and relevant international and philanthropic sources.
• Write short bid and no-bid briefs: eligibility, fit, cost share, effort required, deadlines, and what we would need from partners.

• Own the proposal calendar, working backward from the deadline through kickoff, outline, content plan, review rounds, and submission with real buffer.
• Build the compliance matrix for every solicitation, covering page limits, margins and fonts, required sections, file naming, and appendix rules, then verify compliance before we submit.
• Build the standard components: forms, budgets and budget justifications, cost-share documentation, letters of commitment and support, biosketches and CVs, current and pending support, statements of project objectives and milestone tables, data management plans, and community benefits plans where required.
• Coordinate subrecipient packages with university and industrial partners, including whatever each research office requires and how long it takes them.
• Edit contributed technical text to fit page limits without changing what it claims, and query the author when meaning is at stake.
• Submit through the portal, then archive the complete submitted package.

• Manage responses to customer and EPC RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, and tenders: requirement matrices, response outlines, contributor assignments, and the consolidated final document.
• Complete supplier prequalification questionnaires and vendor registrations, and keep our profiles current in customer procurement portals.
• Keep the clarification and Q&A log during a live bid, and track deadlines for questions, addenda, and submission.
• Pull commercial and legal inputs together with finance, counsel, and technical leads: pricing sheets, terms and conditions review, insurance, HSE and QA documentation.

• Build and…
