About the role
We're developing a novel ironmaking technology that produces low-emission iron at cost parity with today's highly emitting incumbents - without green hydrogen or CCS. Our process: Is cost-competitive with incumbents, with no green premium Leverages existing energy and raw material supply chains Slashes emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional ironmaking Generates a saleable co-product that can further improve margins We are currently working on an experimental proof-of-concept and will be starting engineering for our pilot project later this year. We're seeking an entrepreneurial CEO & Co-Founder with experience in large industrial processes to lead commercialization, fundraising, and scale-up. You'll own the commercial roadmap, capital strategy, partner and customer engagement, and overall company direction. You'll partner with the CTO & Co-Founder , a former Lead Technology Development Engineer at Carbon Engineering (DAC) and mechanical engineer from MIT with early-stage startup experience.
Requirements
- You're motivated to build an industrial hard tech company from the ground up. You understand heavy industry, but think like an entrepreneur.
- Strong candidates will have several of the following:
- Commercial experience in a relevant sector (e.g., metals, mining, cement, lime, minerals, oil & gas, or related industrial processes), such as business development, strategic partnerships, or project development

Additional Information
About Marble Marble is a climate tech venture studio. We partner with scientists, engineers, and operators to create companies solving hard climate problems in the world's largest industries. Our first 13 companies are building transformative products across energy, industry, agriculture, and climate resilience. 100% have been successful in raising follow-on to date. We are looking to partner with exceptional individuals to create our next venture. The Dream: Affordable Clean Steel Steel is responsible for 8 - 10% of global emissions with roughly 2.6 Gt of direct CO₂ emissions annually. The demand for steel is expected to rise as much as 30% by 2050, but incumbent pathways each face barriers that make decarbonization extremely difficult. Emergent "green" production technologies produce steel at large cost premiums and face scale-up challenges. Today , no existing ironmaking technology simultaneously: (1) achieves deep emissions cuts; (2) scales economically to multi-megaton plants; (3) leverages existing energy and material supply chains; and (4) is cost-competitive without subsidies.
