How to Apply for Associate Project Manager

at Vaulted Deep

🏢 About Vaulted Deep

Vaulted Deep is pioneering permanent carbon removal by geologically sequestering organic waste, a unique approach that directly tackles climate change while advancing environmental justice. Unlike many carbon capture companies, they focus on waste streams and community impact, making them mission-driven innovators in the climate tech space. Working here means contributing to scalable, tangible solutions for carbon removal with a strong social equity component.

About This Role

As Associate Project Manager, you'll coordinate Vaulted's stagegate process for multiple carbon sequestration sites, ensuring cross-functional teams meet readiness criteria from investment through construction handoff. You'll synthesize complex technical and operational data into clear briefings for leadership while maintaining integrated timelines and communication channels across remote teams. This role is impactful because you'll directly enable the scaling of permanent carbon removal projects that combat climate change.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by updating integrated timelines for multiple sequestration sites, then proactively sourcing deliverable updates from engineering and environmental teams. You'd synthesize these inputs into a briefing for the Director of Site Delivery, prepare materials for a bi-weekly leadership review, and ensure all action items from cross-functional meetings are tracked in Vaulted's project management systems. Throughout, you'd maintain communication channels to reduce silos between remote teams working on different aspects of site development.
