About the company:

Naturally occurring minerals - alongside forests, soils, and the ocean - are one of our planet's most vital carbon sinks. Over geological timescales, carbon dioxide in the air and water chemically bind to these minerals and permanently turn to stone.

Our technology enhances this natural process, called carbon mineralization, to help minerals absorb CO2 from the ambient air in days, rather than years. By combining the best of engineering and nature, we can offer the most cost-effective and scalable Direct Air Capture solution in the world.

About Us

All across the world, from the azure pools of Turkey and Oman to the travertine terraces of Yellowstone, our planet quietly pulls carbon dioxide from the air and turns it to stone. For eons, Earth has relied on this process to balance its carbon cycle. What if it could be harnessed? What if we could do it faster, in larger quantities, and at a low enough cost to make it an effective tool in the fight against climate change?

At Heirloom, we are turning that into reality. We use the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2 from the air, and store it permanently underground. We come to work every day to slow climate change, and are united behind a single, common goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035, and to not stop before we get there.

We bring together the precise recipe of science, technology, know-how, and strategy necessary to make low cost, high quality carbon removal a reality. If we’re successful, we will directly mitigate climate change, build a world we can proudly hand over to our children and grandchildren, and catalyze an industry that will rival the largest the world has ever seen. If you want to change the planet, come join us.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Heirloom is committed to diversity and building an equitable and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and experiences. We believe wholeheartedly that building a diverse company is critical to Heirloom’s success. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, and people with disabilities.

The Role

Heirloom is seeking a Supply Chain Manager in a brand new, fast growing industry, reporting to the Head of Supply Chain, based out of Brisbane, CA HQ. In this role, you have an opportunity to build and create the supply chain management that will shape the entire industry. Since there are no preexisting templates or rules, you will make a direct impact for the company and also your own career trajectory. You will be responsible for the sourcing work stream - selecting, developing, and managing key suppliers. It is also critical in this role to reduce cost, ensure adherence to schedules, scale suppliers and the relevant supply base to match Heirloom’s growth.

About You

We are looking for candidates who get excited by our mission and to build the largest direct air capture facility in the US. Whether you have a background in engineering or you have been in supply chain throughout your career, one thing is clear- you think from first principles and are comfortable working in an environment with no set templates. Project management is key as you will be working with suppliers and ensuring timely delivery of goods and services. You have a working knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, as well as ability to understand specs and tolerances. You are naturally curious and have an uncanny ability to think on your feet. It’s important in this role to be able to debate, discuss, and argue through any negotiation process while keeping a positive attitude.

You don’t have to have every listed requirement and skill to be a great fit - you may even teach us something about what we should be looking for! If you are passionate about this opportunity and think you have the skills to succeed, please apply!
