About Charm
Our mission is to reverse climate change and return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert waste biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into permanent, underground storage as carbon removal, or reform the bio-oil to produce syngas for fossil-free steel.
Last year, our carbon removal pathway took off with support from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft, and we deployed our first mobile pyrolyzer. In the next 18 months, we’ll build and deploy the next pyrolyzer revision, demonstrate our fossil-free syngas pilot, substantially expand our operations in the Midwest and put more than 1,000 tonnes of CO₂e underground.
We’re looking to expand our team of creative and hands-on engineers, fabricators, operators, and forward-thinking humans. We value psychological safety and collaboration. We take calculated risks and don’t sweep mistakes under the rug; instead, we pin them to the wall and learn from them. We value that everyone’s unique backgrounds and perspectives shape their work. We encourage you to read our company values.
Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
Charm is one of the leading permanent carbon dioxide removal companies, and our continued scale-up will require us to grow our team dramatically in the years ahead. We are looking for a Head of People to drive our recruiting, talent development, and human resources efforts. Carbon removal is so nascent that there is effectively no one with experience in the field, but to keep the climate below 1.5°C, IPCC models require the industry to grow to 10,000,000,000 tons CO₂ removal by 2050. This represents 70% year over year growth for the next 27 years, twice as fast as software. We will need to bring in talent from many other industries and universities, have a strong focus on talent development, and champion the climate tech industry as a whole.
This role will report to our CEO, be a member of our leadership team, and initially oversee a small team of recruiters, recruiting coordinators, HR generalists, office managers and external coaches.
The ideal candidate is world-class at recruiting and talent development. Experience with companies designing and building new hardware internally is a requirement. Experience with hourly manufacturing/ field operations labor is highly desirable.
This role is located at either our San Francisco, CA Minifactory or our Fort Lupton, CO Miniforge, and is not open for remote work.
You would make a great addition to the team if:
- You solve problems with creativity and curiosity
- You take high ownership of your work from end-to-end
- You are eager to learn and teach others
- You readily challenge your assumptions when faced with a difficult problem
- You collaboratively seek out teammates for feedback and advice
- You care deeply about our mission & the transition to a greener, more equitable future

COVID-19
The nature of our work requires the vast majority of our team to be in-person full time. As the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, we’ve continuously adapted our safety policy to keep our team safe and productive.

If you’re invited to our office for an interview, you will be asked for proof of vaccination.

We are excited about all of those who choose to apply, and for those who end up joining us, to see how you better us as a team and company. We are more than the sum of our parts.
