Customer Acquisition Manager Join us in revolutionizing an industry with new state of the art technology that helps people, companies and societies with clean air! You will not regret it. About CLER At CLER, we’re redefining clean air. We are a Swedish deep-tech start-up on a mission to set a new global standard for air purification. Our proprietary, filter-free technology delivers ultra-clean air with no maintenance, lower energy consumption, and a far more sustainable footprint than traditional solutions. Why this matters: 99% of the world’s population breathes air that fails to meet WHO guidelines, causing more than seven million deaths each year. Indoor air quality is often 2–5x worse than outdoor air, even though we spend 90% of our lives indoors. CLER is built on smart Swedish engineering and rigorous innovation.
