About the Opportunity
The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear – even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers.
The organization builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models—alongside novel sensors—to guide decisions on owned-and-operated exploration programs. In the eight years since founding, the organization has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer. Data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with renowned exploration geologists.
The organization has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. The organization has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery.
The organization is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T. Rowe Price and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, Durable Capital, StepStone, and Standard Investments; and natural resources companies Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi.
About the Role
The organization is looking for a sharp, systems-minded Executive Assistant to support two C-suite executives while also owning a meaningful operational responsibility: coordinating the company-wide Ethics Share program. This is not a role for someone who primarily keeps calendars tidy—it's for someone who can manage competing priorities, take initiative on complex multi-stakeholder workflows, and represent the organization's values with every interaction.
This role will be embedded in a fast-moving, Slack-first culture where things change quickly and attention to detail is the difference between smooth and chaotic. The individual will be trusted with sensitive information, high-visibility communications, and a recurring program that touches every employee.

Ethics Share Coordination
Qualifications
The ideal candidate builds the system before anyone asks them to. They read a process and immediately start thinking about how to track it, who needs a reminder, and what could go wrong at step three. They have supported executives long enough to know what they need before they ask, and they have worked in environments fast-paced enough that "figure it out" is just Tuesday.
Communication is precise—short, clear, no fluff—because everyone around them is busy. The candidate is a natural relationship-builder who earns trust quickly and protects it fiercely. Sensitive information is treated like it was their own.
Positive energy is brought to every collaboration, with a natural ability to motivate and enthuse the people around them, even when the work is demanding or the timeline is tight. A sunny disposition is genuinely theirs—bringing good energy because that's just who they are, not because everything is always perfect. The candidate understands that they are often the messenger in the middle, and they don't take a curt Slack reply personally—they know it's not about them.
The candidate also cares about doing things the right way. The Ethics Share work isn't just a logistics task—it's a program that matters, and the same care will be brought to a slide deck review that is brought to booking a last-minute international flight.
Minimum Qualifications

The US base salary range for this full-time exempt position is $120,000-$140,000, plus equity and benefits including 401k matching.
