About Lithos

Lithos Carbon revolutionizes the carbon capture industry through enhanced rock weathering technology. We work with farmers to spread basalt rock on farmland, which increases soil health and repurposes post-industrial waste. Our technology is aimed at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a fraction of the cost of other methods, while helping farmers improve crop yields. Our team is made up of industry-leading academic scientists and proven entrepreneurs, and we are backed by top-tier investors like Union Square Ventures and Greylock Partners. We started commercializing the technology in 2022 and already signed customers for our permanent carbon removal credits including Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, and McKinsey’s Frontier program. You can read about our work in FastCompany, Axios, and on our blog.

About The Role

We are seeking an exceptional Head of Sales to drive Lithos's commercial growth and shape the future of the carbon removal industry.

Reporting to the Head of Carbon Strategy, you will be instrumental in accelerating the adoption of enhanced rock weathering and establishing Lithos as the premier provider of high-quality carbon removal. This is a hybrid full-time role based in Bellevue, WA. Relocation assistance is negotiable.
