How to Apply for General Application

at CREW

🏢 About CREW

CREW Carbon is a mission-driven organization specifically focused on carbon removal solutions, distinguishing itself from broader climate consultancies by targeting direct, scalable climate interventions. Their work combines scientific rigor with entrepreneurial execution to develop meaningful climate technologies that address the root causes of climate change.

About This Role

This general application is for unspecified roles at CREW Carbon, meaning you'll be considered for positions that match your skills across their climate technology development pipeline. Your work will directly contribute to advancing carbon removal solutions, from research and development to implementation and scaling of climate interventions.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day would involve collaborating with climate scientists, engineers, and operations staff on developing or scaling carbon removal solutions, with tasks ranging from technical problem-solving to project coordination. You might analyze data from carbon removal projects, contribute to technology development discussions, or support implementation of climate solutions, all while adapting to the evolving needs of a mission-driven startup.

Research and mention specific CREW Carbon projects or approaches that align with your interests in your cover letter

3

Highlight any carbon removal or climate technology experience, even if tangential (academic projects, relevant coursework, volunteer work)

4

Tailor your resume to emphasize transferable skills for climate tech roles rather than generic job descriptions

5

Include a brief statement about which type of role you're most interested in (technical, operational, research, etc.) since this is a general application

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your specific interest in carbon removal (not just general climate work) and why CREW Carbon's approach resonates", 'How your skills could contribute to developing or scaling climate technologies, with concrete examples', 'Your ability to work in a mission-driven startup environment with limited structure', 'Any direct experience with climate science, carbon markets, or environmental technology']
