Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Heirloom Full time

We are a team of passionate individuals working together to harness the power of nature to combat climate change. Our planet quietly pulls carbon dioxide from the air and stores it as stone, a process that has been occurring for eons.

At Heirloom, we aim to accelerate this natural process, making it an effective tool in the fight against climate change. We use the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2 from the air and store it permanently underground.

About Us

We come to work every day with a shared goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035, and not stop before we achieve it. To do this, we bring together the perfect blend of science, technology, know-how, and strategy, creating low-cost, high-quality carbon removal.

If we succeed, we will directly mitigate climate change, building a world that we can be proud to pass on to our children and grandchildren. In doing so, we will catalyze an industry that will rival the largest the world has ever seen.

Our Mission

We believe that building a diverse company is critical to our success. As temperatures continue to rise, marginalized communities will face the harshest impacts of climate change. We put recruiting, hiring, and retaining individuals from underrepresented groups at the top of our priority list.

You don't need to tick all the boxes in the description below, even if you identify as Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Hispanic or Latino, LGBTQ+ - or with any other underrepresented group, we encourage you to apply.

Chief of Staff Role Overview

The Chief of Staff (CoS) will act as a strategic advisor and operational partner to the CEO and executive team, driving key initiatives, improving organizational efficiency, and ensuring alignment across all business functions.

This role is pivotal in supporting the company's scaling efforts, fostering collaboration, and enabling the leadership team to focus on strategic growth opportunities.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Strategic Planning & Execution: Partner with the CEO to develop and execute strategic initiatives and OKRs. Monitor progress on key goals and provide regular updates to stakeholders.

  3. Leadership Support: Prepare briefing materials, presentations, and key documents for the CEO and board meetings. Serve as a trusted sounding board to the CEO and leadership team, offering insights and recommendations.

You will also help the CEO spend time effectively by working closely with the executive assistant to ensure their calendar matches strategic priorities.
