About Alt Carbon

Alt Carbon is a translational Earth Sciences company based out of IISc Bangalore, India. We’ve built one of India’s largest earth sciences lab networks across Darjeeling and Bangalore and recently made the world’s largest Enhanced Rock Weathering carbon credit issuance, removing nearly 10,000 tonnes of CO.

We’re now leveraging our scientific, geospatial, and field infrastructure to tackle one of South Asia’s biggest opportunities: the discovery and exploration of critical mineral resources.

Backed by Lachy Groom (Physical Intelligence), Akshay Kothari (Notion), and Shastra VC, Alt Carbon has raised $15 million across our pre-seed and seed rounds.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Admin to take ownership of the administration function at Alt Carbon.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can independently run the day-to-day admin and operational requirements of a growing company. You’ll be responsible for keeping our offices, labs and facilities running smoothly, while managing vendors, procurement, logistics and other operational needs across the organisation.

You’ll work closely with teams across Alt Carbon and will be expected to build reliable processes, stay on top of details and solve problems as they come up.

Experience working in a lab, technical or similar operational workplace would be a strong plus.

What you'll do?

- Own the overall administration function across our offices, labs and facilities
- Manage day-to-day office and facility operations and ensure everything is running smoothly
- Manage vendors and service providers, including sourcing, onboarding, negotiations and ongoing coordination
- Own procurement for office, lab and operational requirements, from sourcing through to delivery




- Coordinate logistics and movement of materials, equipment and other requirements across locations
- Track administrative expenses, invoices and vendor payments in coordination with Finance
- Build and improve processes around procurement, inventory, facilities and general administration
- Coordinate with internal teams to understand and address their operational requirements
- Maintain relevant administrative records, documentation and processes
- Proactively identify operational gaps and take ownership of getting them resolved
- Support other administrative and operational requirements as the company and its infrastructure grow

What we're looking for?

- 7+ years of experience in administration, facilities, operations or a similar function
- Someone who has independently managed the administration function in a growing organisation
- Experience working with labs, technical facilities or similar operational environments is preferred
- Strong vendor management and negotiation skills
- Comfortable handling procurement, facilities, logistics and multiple operational requirements
- Highly organised, detail-oriented and good at following things through
- Strong ownership and ability to work independently without needing constant direction
- Hands-on and practical — comfortable getting into the details and figuring things out
- Good communication and coordination skills
- Comfortable working in a quick-moving environment where processes are still being built

Why Alt Carbon?

You’ll be joining at a stage where there’s a lot to build. As our scientific, lab and field infrastructure expands, the admin function will play an important role in making sure the organisation can scale smoothly.

This is an opportunity to own the function end-to-end, build systems and processes from the ground up, and work closely with teams across science, operations and leadership.
