Senior Synthetic Chemist – Sorbent Innovation Lead (80–100%)

About the role

In this role, you will apply deep synthetic chemistry expertise to design, synthesize and evaluate next-generation sorbent materials for Direct Air Capture. You will take scientific ownership of early-stage material innovation, connect synthesis decisions with performance data and help identify the most promising sorbent concepts for further development. You will play a central role in coordinating across stakeholders to ensure alignment of research priorities, technical development and broader organization goals. The role is ideal for a hands-on chemist who enjoys driving technical work independently while collaborating closely with experts across characterization, engineering, scale-up, legal, and external innovation. This role is a strong fit if you: You are a hands-on synthetic chemist, ideally with experience in material synthesis or functional material development. You enjoy working as an individual contributor and technical expert, while effectively coordinating with cross-functional stakeholders. You want to stay close to lab-based experimentation, synthesis, characterization, and scientific problem-solving. You are motivated by early-stage R&D and material innovation,
