๐ข About Chooose
Chooose is a mission-driven climate tech startup building the software backbone for the lower carbon fuel value chain.

About This Role
As Strategic Account Lead, you'll own the full customer relationship for a portfolio of enterprise clients, driving adoption of Chooose's SaaS platform for decarbonization programs like Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Your work will directly shape how major industries measure and reduce their carbon footprint, making this role critical to both company growth and climate action.
