As the Senior Project Director, you will spearhead the development and delivery of Deep Sky Climate's critical infrastructure projects, including Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities and sequestration sites.

This includes a strategic focus on developing internal skills and aligning project development expertise with risk mitigation practices.

- Strategic Focus on Depth and Breadth:
- Develop project development expertise holistically, including site selection, power structuring, financial modelling, and contracting, to prepare for future projects.
- Ensure alignment of risks across project phases by integrating key elements such as off-take agreements and sequestration contracts.
- Recommend and implement strategic over-investment in team building and development to establish organizational readiness for large-scale, high-complexity projects.
- Stakeholder and Community Management:
- Engage with local communities and government agencies to build and maintain strong relationships.
- Act as the primary interface with stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment on project goals and progress.
