Sr. Project Manager

Remora is hiring an experienced Project Manager to enhance our Engineering and Research Organization. As a member of the Integration Team, the Project Manager will lead and drive the execution of projects, focusing on construction and facilities readiness, ensuring successful delivery within scope, budget, and timelines.

We’re a 50-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. We're building a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We'll sell the CO2 to end-users, and share that revenue with our customers, so our device will create a new revenue stream while reducing their emissions.

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 Lower carbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners.
