About the company:

Over millions of years, silicate rock weathering has regulated Earth’s climate. By crushing silicate rocks and spreading them on agricultural soils - an approach called Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) - we can accelerate Earth’s natural process into a solution capable of addressing the urgency of climate change.

Existing agricultural and silicate rock sites - namely 5,000+ global silicate rock quarries surrounded by agricultural land - have the potential to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 with enhanced rock weathering. Despite this potential, ERW hasn’t scaled given the extraordinary scientific, technological, and operational challenges involved. Terradot, founded out of the Stanford ecosystem, is addressing these challenges by advancing the science, building the technology, and assembling the coalition needed to make this potential a reality.

We’ve started in Brazil – one of the world’s most optimal locations for ERW thanks to its tropical soils, strength in agriculture, and clean electricity grid. There, we are building the most ambitious ERW hub to date. This hub will drive the necessary breakthroughs in ERW science, ensuring every tonne of carbon dioxide removed is measured and tracked with certainty. 

These insights will power digital tools for the optimization and verification of carbon removal projects, enabling the replicability of these hubs globally If successful, this approach will uniquely and rapidly catalyze global-scale carbon removal, enabling the transformation of [300] such quarries in Brazil and [5,000+] global quarries into carbon removal hubs. 

Terradot has assembled a growing team of leading scientists and engineers with decades of published research (over 100,000 citations on ERW) and hands-on expertise in related fields, providing unmatched experience to drive advancements in ERW.

Logistics Specialist

Location: São Paulo, SP (On-site)

About the Role

We are seeking a results-oriented and data-driven Logistics Specialist to support the execution and continuous improvement of Terradot’s national logistics strategy. This role is vital to ensuring the efficient, reliable, and cost-effective movement of large-scale volumes of basalt rock across Brazil—from quarry to field.

As Terradot transitions to a process-driven operation and scales its carbon removal deployments, logistics becomes a strategic pillar of our success. The Logistics Specialist will work cross-functionally with the SOP, Deployment, and Operations teams to ensure that every freight operation is planned, tracked, optimized, and executed with excellence.

We are hiring the Logistics Specialist to:

  • Execute freight planning and control under a centralized Control Tower model.

  • Bring strong logistics acumen to track and optimize every movement in real time.

  • Ensure backhaul opportunities are captured through structured carrier engagement.

  • Serve as a key point of contact for trucking partners, bridging platform (e.g., GoFlux) capabilities and field needs.

  • Act as the operational owner for freight KPIs, performance analysis, and execution troubleshooting.

Role Responsibilities

  • Coordinate and execute the transportation of basalt rock from supplier quarries to field deployment locations.

  • Manage freight bookings and dispatching via digital platforms (e.g., GoFlux), ensuring real-time visibility and tracking.

  • Identify and analyze cost outliers, negotiate rates where applicable, and ensure consistent freight cost control.

  • Monitor fleet performance, service levels, and delivery timelines, escalating deviations as necessary.

  • Support the deployment and day-to-day operation of the Control Tower framework for logistics management.

  • Maintain relationships with key trucking providers, driving consistent engagement to support backhaul availability.

  • Track and report on logistics KPIs (e.g., cost/ton-km, on-time rate, utilization rate), surfacing insights to inform strategy.

  • Collaborate with SOP and Deployment teams to ensure alignment between freight plans and project timelines.

  • Assist in the development and rollout of logistics standard operating procedures (SOPs).

  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in route planning, load optimization, and carrier onboarding.

What Success Looks Like (90 Days, 6 Months, 12 Months)

In the First 90 Days

  • Become fully integrated into the logistics execution flow and GoFlux platform.

  • Deliver structured tracking and reporting tools for freight visibility.

  • Build strong working relationships with top transport providers and field execution teams.

  • Deliver savings and improved reliability through active cost and service control.

In 6–12 Months

  • Institutionalize a consistent Control Tower rhythm for all deployments.

  • Reduce average freight costs through efficiency initiatives and backhaul optimization.

  • Drive national freight execution with consistency, visibility, and proactive issue resolution.

  • Help Terradot scale deployments 3x with no increase in operational friction or logistics overhead.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field.

  • 3–5 years of experience in freight execution, logistics operations, or supply chain management.

  • Proven track record in managing and optimizing road freight logistics at scale.

  • Hands-on experience with logistics platforms, digital freight matching, or control towers.

  • Strong analytical mindset and ability to extract insights from operational data.

  • Excellent coordination and communication skills, particularly in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.

  • Ownership mindset with a strong bias toward execution and continuous improvement.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience in field logistics for agribusiness, mining, or industrial projects.

  • Familiarity with national trucking networks, backhaul economics, and freight procurement.

  • Exposure to startup or scale-up environments.

  • Experience integrating logistics with broader planning and deployment processes.

Compensation

Market-competitive compensation, based on qualifications and performance, with structured opportunities for professional development and growth within Terradot.
