Senior Manager of HR Programs

Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior Manager of HR Programs to partner with the Chief People Officer in scaling KoBold's global workforce. This role is crucial for establishing sophisticated processes, programs, and tooling that enhance efficiency without introducing bureaucracy, while thoughtfully considering the diverse cultural underpinnings and job responsibilities of our employees. The ideal candidate will be energized by ambiguous problem spaces and the challenge of building solutions that preserve KoBold's ethos.

About KoBold

The mining industry faces significant challenges in discovering new ore deposits, requiring substantially more capital than in previous decades due to the depletion of easily accessible resources. The industry has also under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on outdated manual techniques despite increasing demand for critical metals like copper and lithium.

KoBold addresses these challenges by building and deploying AI models for mineral exploration, complemented by novel sensors. Since its founding, KoBold has become the largest independent mineral exploration company and exploration technology developer. Our data scientists, software engineers, and exploration geologists collaborate to lead exploration programs.

KoBold has achieved its first discovery with significantly less capital than the industry average, identifying one of the best copper deposits ever discovered. This asset, characterized by high copper concentration, is expected to generate substantial revenue for decades. KoBold manages a portfolio of over 60 additional projects with discovery potential.

KoBold is a privately held company backed by prominent investors including T. Rowe Price, Canada Pension Plan Investments, Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, Standard Investments, Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi.
