About Noya:

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.

About the Role:

This role will be critical to Noya’s success, in both the short and long term. Reporting to Noya’s CEO, you will have the opportunity of a lifetime to build and lead Noya’s supply chain function, which will be responsible for developing a best-in-class supply chain that will allow Noya to reach planetary-scale impact.

Our Head of Supply Chain role is central to getting Noya’s direct air capture technology into the field and ready to scale massively in the near future. You will build the procurement and EPC strategy to support Noya’s direct air capture deployments, and you will lead hiring efforts to build your future teams to support these scale-up goals. You will lead negotiations with suppliers to deliver Noya’s carbon capture materials, supporting equipment, and manufacturing components for our direct air capture processes. Your day-to-day efforts will range from developing high-level, multi-year strategy to executing on smaller tasks in the pursuit of Noya’s goals.

On top of all of that, you will dive head-first into a sea of opportunity to build one of the most climate-critical technologies that is currently under development. Ultimately, we are looking for a curious, first-principles thinker who will break through walls to achieve Noya’s mission of accelerating the world towards carbon negativity.
