Travertine is a climate tech start-up based in Boulder, CO that is rapidly scaling an electrochemical technology for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sustainable critical element extraction. Our process takes carbon dioxide from the air and sources of waste sulfate to produce carbonate minerals, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen. The sulfuric acid is used in industrial applications such as extracting critical elements like lithium and nickel for EV batteries and phosphorus for fertilizer. The Travertine process was developed by Prof. Laura Lammers at her UC Berkeley lab. Travertine was founded in 2022 to scale this process to gigatons per year of CDR.
In 2022, we raised a seed round from the Grantham Foundation and Clean Energy Ventures. We were one of the first companies to receive pre-purchases of CDR from the new Stripe-led $1B Frontier fund, and we received a $2M grant from the DOE’s ARPA-E program. We were also named C&EN 10 startups to watch in 2022 and a finalist for the Bloomberg NEF Pioneers award in 2023. We believe in developing practical approaches to solving the climate crisis.
The Role
We are looking for a Grant Manager who has experience administering federal SBIR grants. This role will be responsible for project tracking, invoicing, and reporting for an exciting $2M SBIR grant that we received from the Department of Energy’s ARPA-E MINER program. This program is focused on commercializing technologies that can sustainably extract the critical elements that are needed for the energy transition like lithium and nickel. We have assembled an amazing team including three world-class academic collaborators and a number of excellent contractors who you will interface with along with our internal team.
In addition to managing the ARPA-E grant, this role will help with quarterly stakeholder reporting, grant sourcing, grant writing, invoicing, permitting, and other related tasks. This is an opportunity to be on the ground-floor of building the CDR industry and developing technologies to sustainable extract critical elements.
Responsibilities
This role will manage many people, things, and tasks but key responsibilities are listed below:
Qualifications
This role is based in our headquarters in Boulder, CO.
Salary range is $50,000-$90,000/yr depending on experience.
Benefits
- Stock options
- Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance
- Optional 401k
- Flexible time off policy
