The Role

Reporting to the CEO, the Head of Deployment will be responsible for leading the first full scale carbon removal deployment in North America and subsequent scaling of the Heirloom network. This person will build and lead an organization that designs, deploys and commissions new Heirloom carbon removal sites in a highly scaleable fashion. This senior executive role will also drive shared alignment with a Field Operations team to enable day-to-day operations and comprehensive site management.

This is a unique position that likely will require strong construction skills and experiences gained in other industries (i.e. renewable energy, manufacturing, industrials) to be applied and modified to fit Heirloom’s needs. The Head of Deployment will wear multiple hats and serves as an agile and critical member of the Heirloom leadership team, which is based in Brisbane, CA.
