Head Of Program Management

Noya is reversing climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. We’re a scrappy team of engineers, scientists, and operators taking on the biggest problem anybody could be working on. We’ve developed a process that leverages abundant materials to remove CO2 directly from the air with dramatically lower capital and operating expenses than other approaches.
YOUR MISSION IN THIS ROLE
This role is fundamental to the long-term success of our mission. Your program management expertise will help you shepherd our first commercial installation into existence.
As Head of Program Management at Noya, you will work on a multidisciplinary team. You’ll work with our Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Chemical Engineers, and Scientists, as well as building code consultants and key suppliers, to take our Direct Air Capture approach from our Noya HQ pilot to a commercial installation. You’ll lead us in planning all the way through to implementation, while also helping us figure out how to do so more efficiently for each subsequent installation. In addition to all the fun that will be involved in getting our first commercial carbon vacuum live, you’ll also have your hand in many different aspects of our Operations. “Head of Program Management” will be your title, but you’ll have lots of different internal and external asks made of you. There will never be a dull day!
And on top of all that, you will dive head-first into a sea of future potential full of unimaginable growth opportunities. Ultimately, we are looking for a curious operator who wants to help solidify a bright future for all of humanity.
