Fossil fuels powered our economy for decades, at the cost of our planet. At Phlair, we're inverting that equation with breakthrough electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that pulls CO₂ from the air for permanent storage or repurposing into carbon-negative chemicals.\nWe're not here to play it safe. We're here to win.\nWhy We’re Different?\nWe solve hard problems and are product-first. Our hydrolyzer-based Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, enabling scalable and low-cost CO2 capture from ambient air. The electrochemical technology allows off-the-shelf components and is ideally suited to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources.\nWith proven offtake agreements from customers such as Google, McKinsey, JPMorganChase, Shopify, Stripe, H&M, and Deep Sky; we're one of only seven DAC companies with real market validation.\nProject Dawn isn't just our flagship; it's our shot to scale CO₂ removal globally.\nYour Mission at Phlair\nOwn Finance end-to-end.\nOwn Corporate Finance, i.e. oversee accounting, own financial planning (Financial Model, Corporate Model)\n\nTake over more strategic and project related topics, gradually take over ownership on Techno-Economic-Model and Project Model\n\nExplore debt financing and support with equity fundraising and investor relations\n\nYour targets are your North Star. Nothing is set in stone in our world, we adapt fast, but we always hit our goals.\nWhat You Bring to the Team\nNon-negotiable:\nSTEM with experience in finance or business with experience in technical environment\n\nMinimum of 2 years working experience; prior exposure to PE, top-tier consulting, or a fast-paced startup setting is a strong plus.\n\nEssential Traits\nBias for action - You prototype, test, and ship while others are still planning\n\nComfortable with intensity - extreme ownership and going the extra mile motivates you\n\nEgo second - You care more about winning than being right\n\nFigure things out independently - No hand-holding. You own problems end-to-end\n\nExcellence as standard - Mistakes happen, but mediocrity doesn't\n\nBonus Points\nStrategic Thinker - Comfortable operating at the intersection of finance and business strategy development\n\nCommercial Mindset - You don't just look at the numbers, you understand the commercial dynamics of scaling a deep tech company\n\nHow we work at Phlair\nIn-person matters: We work fully onsite in Ismaning, Germany. Our pilot plant is here, our breakthroughs happen here, and our team wins here-together.\nGoals matter: We do everything to achieve our goals. If your workstream is the bottleneck, you don't stop. This isn't about serving hours, it's about hitting goals that matter.\nLeadership means showing up and doing the work. We get that experienced people have more commitments, but championship teams require championship effort.\nWhat We Offer?\nCompetitive salary + meaningful equity\n\n30 vacation days (including 2 recreational leave days)\n\nRelocation support to Munich\n\nGermany-wide public transport pass\n\nEGYM Wellpass fitness membership\n\nFresh team lunches with our chef Amelie\n\nDirect access to CEO, CTO, and CSO\n\nLearn more about Phlair\nOur Mission, Vision and Team\n\nPhlair Secures Frontier’s First Electrochemical DAC Deal\n\nTechnology Behind Phlair\n\nThe Future of DAC\n\n------\nIs this a fit for me?\nWe're building for the 3-5% who are energized by winning and thrive under pressure. Our pace demands people who see excellence as non-negotiable and execution as everything. We cherish work-life-harmony, not balance. If you need extensive structure or prefer playing it safe, we're probably not the right fit.\nDon't tick every box? We value potential and spikes over perfect resumes. If you believe you can contribute to our mission at this intensity level, tell us why.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3879,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Alternative Fuels","ESG & Carbon Accounting Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T18:26:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.345,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":82,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/phlair-finance-lead-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/phlair-finance-lead-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T11:40:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15436,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":686568},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686568"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fphlair-finance-lead-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fphlair-finance-lead-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fphlair-finance-lead-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/phlair-finance-lead-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fphlair-finance-lead-mfd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":760605}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"phlair.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":760605},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
