About this role

HSE Lead, Global Programs and Systems About the Company In the coming decades, our world needs far more critical minerals including copper, lithium, and cobalt, to build electric infrastructure, vehicles, data centers, and electronics. The mining industry is making 10x fewer discoveries per dollar spent on exploration compared to 30 years ago because the easy-to-find, near surface deposits have largely been discovered.

KoBold is the leading scientific mineral exploration, mine development, and technology development company. Our goal is to turn mineral exploration into a repeatable science to discover the minerals the world needs—by integrating artificial intelligence, human intelligence, and new technology. Our multidisciplinary teams of data scientists, engineers, and geologists work together to build data systems, design new sensors, and establish industry-leading workflows to develop and test subsurface predictions on our exploration projects.

Our first discovery, Mingomba, is a high-grade copper deposit in Zambia, found after spending materially less than industry average. We are developing Mingomba with the same technical rigor that we apply to exploration. The Mingomba team brings together mine and processing engineers, geologists, data scientists, software engineers, and community, health & safety, construction, and operations specialists. By combining industry knowledge and cutting edge technology, we are developing Mingomba into a world class project that has safer and more predictable outcomes for ourselves, partners, and communities.

It is expected to create thousands of good jobs for generations. KoBold runs exploration programs in eight countries, all with the potential for another discovery. KoBold 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 strategic natural resources companies BHP and Mitsubishi.

About The Position: KoBold operates exploration programs across Africa, North America, Europe, and Australia, and is scaling faster than any independent explorer in the industry. As HSE Lead, Programs and Systems, you will design and own the HSE management system, digital tooling, and training infrastructure that keep people safe across every jurisdiction we operate in. You will build the systems, standards, and software that empower safety ownership at the field level.

Own KoBold's digital HSE stack, including DATS, Forwood, and any additional platforms. Lead vendor evaluation, workflow configuration, integrations, and administration.

Own the global document library for all HSE standards, programs, and operating procedures.

BI and analytics experience with leading and lagging indicators (Power BI, Tableau, or SQL). Multi country experience, especially in Africa or emerging markets. Prior experience transitioning off a third party HSE provider to in house capability. Familiarity with low code or scripting tools (Retool, Airtable, Python) for building lightweight HSE tools.

Total compensation also includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package covering health, dental, vision, retirement, paid time off, parental leave, and a home office stipend.
