About the company:

Cement is responsible for about the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as all of the cars on the road today worldwide. Cement has been widely considered one of the most difficult materials to decarbonize and has even been called out as the reason why we need point-source CCS. We have invented a way to make carbon-negative Portland cement that does not rely on point-source CCS and is identical to conventional cement and, most importantly for impact, is lower in cost. Simply put, our process will turn one of the most intractable climate problems into a carbon-negative climate solution.

We are looking for a dynamic and organized Office Manager to join our People Operations team! As the Office Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient operation of administrative and office support functions within our Oakland lab. You will be responsible for managing office procedures, maintaining supplies and equipment, overseeing contracted staff, and providing support to various departments. The ideal candidate will have excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
 
This is an onsite position with the expectation of being onsite 5 days a week. This person will report to our Internal Operations lead. If you are passionate about the climate, consider yourself highly organized, and are a people-oriented individual, learn more about the role below.
