Job description

About Graphyte

Combining pragmatism and science, Graphyte has created a carbon removal solution that accelerates progress in the race against climate change. Carbon Casting seamlessly fuses nature's ability to capture carbon with the reliability and durability of engineering, setting a new standard for carbon dioxide removal.

The Role

The Strategic Operations Manager plays a central role in helping the CEO and leadership team operate effectively and stay aligned as Graphyte scales. This role blends coordination, project execution, and business analysis - ideal for a proactive, organized, and resourceful operator who thrives in fast-moving environments.

You'll handle the details that keep leadership moving efficiently, anticipate needs before they arise, and ensure cross-functional initiatives stay on track. This is a rare opportunity to work side-by-side with a founding executive team during a formative growth phase, with visibility into board-level strategy and upcoming growth initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Executive & Leadership Support
  • Manage scheduling, meeting prep, and coordination for the CEO and executive team.
  • Plan itinerary and secure travel for C-Suite officers.
  • Organize company events, offsites, and team learning initiatives.
  • Support Board and investor communication logistics.

Operational & Project Execution

  • Drive special projects ("SWAT teams") that strengthen internal processes, systems, and reporting.
  • Partner with Finance, Engineering, Strategy, and Operations to track deliverables and remove roadblocks.
  • Build lightweight tools and documentation for recurring workflows and decision-making.
  • Culture & Internal Communications

  • Support cross-team communication and alignment.
  • Help reinforce a culture of accountability, transparency, and mission-driven collaboration.
  • Be a trusted connector across departments - someone people turn to for clarity and follow-through.
  • Strategic Insight & Anticipation

  • Identify operational gaps and propose pragmatic solutions before they escalate.
  • Synthesize information across teams to help leadership prioritize effectively.
  • Contribute analytical or planning support for strategic initiatives (e.g., Investor engagement readiness, OKR planning and tracking).
  • About You

    You're the kind of person who sees a bottleneck and quietly fixes it before anyone else notices. You value structure but aren't afraid to build it from scratch. You balance EQ and IQ - able to read the room, handle sensitive information with care, and move quickly without losing precision. Bonus points if you have a great sense of humor.

    Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of experience in operations, consulting, finance, or strategy - or an MBA with relevant prior experience.
  • Exceptional organizational and communication skills; calm under pressure and biased to action.
  • High proficiency with PowerPoint, Excel, and project management tools (Asana, Notion, or equivalent).
  • Comfortable in startup environments where priorities shift and autonomy is expected.
  • Driven by mission, curiosity, and the satisfaction of making things work smoothly.
  • Why Join Graphyte

  • Direct exposure to the CEO and executive team of a fast-scaling climate tech company.
  • Join a fast growing company with the support of some of Clean Tech's strongest investors.
  • Hands-on experience across operations, finance, and strategic planning.
  • A mission-driven team working on one of the world's most urgent challenges : permanent carbon removal.
  • Competitive compensation and growth opportunities as the company expands.
