Thin Air Labs is a venture capital and consulting firm helping founders fuel their growth. Our Funding Catalyst team works with high-growth ventures to identify and secure non-dilutive capital, helping founders extend runway and accelerate growth without diluting their cap table. Since inception, the team has helped companies secure more than $85 million in non-dilutive funding.

We are looking for a highly organized and persuasive writer to join our Funding Catalyst team as a Delivery Support Specialist. This role is a strong fit for someone who is passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship, curious about how high-growth companies scale, and motivated by supporting meaningful real-world outcomes. You enjoy research, writing, and analysis, and are comfortable getting up to speed quickly on new concepts and translating complexity into clarity.

At Thin Air, we are: 

• Founder focused — supporting founders who create meaningful human impact
• Infinitely curious — about our founders and the companies they’re building
• Unlike minds — valuing differences in perspective and ways of thinking
• Impact driven — striving to help bring ideas into reality and real-world impact

What you’ll do:

• Conduct in-depth research into the non-dilutive funding landscape, including grants, tax credits, and loans, to assess fit, eligibility, and timing for portfolio companies
• Support the development of funding strategies by identifying and prioritizing opportunities aligned with a venture’s stage, sector, roadmap, and business priorities
• Draft and refine funding narratives and related written materials, translating technical, scientific, and business concepts into clear, concise, and persuasive submissions
• Gather, organize, and maintain the information required to support strong applications, including business, product, market, technical, and impact data
• Support the preparation of polished, high-quality submissions through proofreading, assembly, and final review
• Maintain accurate and organized internal records across core team tools and platforms
• Contribute to workflow improvements that enhance the quality, speed, and consistency of delivery

You would be described as:

• A strong writer with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively
• Curious and quick to learn, with the confidence to work across unfamiliar sectors, technologies, and business models
• Highly organized, detail oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities without losing momentum
• Outcome focused, with sound judgment on when precision matters most and when to move work forward
• Reliable and thorough, taking pride in producing polished work with minimal oversight

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in STEM, business, commercialization, or a related discipline preferred.
  
  • Candidates with a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and 1–2 years of related experience are also encouraged to apply
• Available full-time for a hybrid work environment based in Calgary, Alberta

• Legally able to work in Canada

Nice to have:

• Experience writing reports, research summaries, technical documentation, grant materials, or other structured written content
• Familiarity with non-dilutive funding programs (grants, tax credits, or similar)
• Experience working with startups, founders, or early-stage companies
• Exposure to startups, innovation, entrepreneurship, or commercialization environments
• Experience using tools such as Airtable, Notion, Google Workspace, AI productivity tools, and project management platforms
