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.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Communications Analyst, Researcher, and Writer to support content development, media strategy, and industry research. Unlike a marketing role, this position is focused on thought leadership, media engagement, and technical storytelling—helping craft Claros' voice in the industry, ensuring our innovations are well-understood by policymakers, investors, and media.

This is an onsite position based in our Minneapolis office, where you will collaborate closely with the Communications team and company leadership. The ideal candidate has strong analytical skills, research capabilities, and the ability to distill complex technical topics into compelling content. **
