Job description

About Charm

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon‑rich bio‑oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio‑oil to make fossil‑free iron.

Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.

We’re expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands‑on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you’re excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values.

Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!

About the role

The voluntary carbon removal market is nascent, ever‑changing, and complex. As Charm drives down the cost curve of CDR deliveries and moves molecules, we must continuously validate the long‑term engineering roadmap, determine estimated future costs, and understand how process and product carbon efficiency changes as the business evolves. All of Charm’s various departments collaborate together so that we make informed and forward‑looking decisions. The Senior Technoeconomic Analyst will play a critical, cross‑functional role in supporting these efforts and will have a meaningful impact on the overarching engineering, financial, and strategic roadmaps.

Through the development of detailed models, the role will own the Charm Duo’s life‑cycle analysis, conduct first‑principles modeling, leverage insights to identify opportunities to drive meaningful system improvements, and support long‑term cost curve development.

The role will report directly into the Corporate Finance & Strategy Manager and work hand‑in‑hand with our Engineering, Research, and Carbon Accounting teams.
