About the company:

Charm Industrial is working to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We design, build and operate a fleet of mobile fast pyrolyzers that convert ag and forest biomass residues into bio-oil for use in carbon removal and direct-reduced-iron steelmaking.

In 2020 our Chief Scientist and co-founder Shaun Meehan had two breakthroughs (bio-oil intermediate and bio-oil sequestration) that kickstarted the company. Within 10 months we completed our first carbon removal injection and in 2021 we completed more than 5,000 tons of CO₂e removal for customers like Stripe, Shopify and Microsoft.

About Charm

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.

Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana. Join us in 2026 as we work toward putting 10,000 tons of carbon back underground!

We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values.

Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!

The People and Safety Administrator plays a critical role in supporting the People & Safety function at a fast-growing startup. This hands-on, people-first role combines core People Team administration with Safety support, helping to build scalable, consistent processes while reinforcing a strong, values-driven culture.

Working closely with leadership and cross-functional partners, this role ensures the day-to-day People and Safety operations run smoothly, brings clarity and structure to evolving processes, and proactively identifies gaps before they become issues. The ideal candidate enjoys managing details, asks thoughtful questions, and thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where systems are still being built. Strong organization, attention to detail, curiosity, and a proactive mindset are essential.
