Deputy General Counsel

Jetti Resources (jettiresources.com) is a technology-driven, natural resources company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, with offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Santiago, Chile. Jetti does what no one has done before: We make it possible to produce copper rapidly, efficiently, and at scale in a responsible and sustainable manner. Copper is a critical component of a cleaner and greener future: From electric cars free of fossil fuels to zero-emissions wind turbines, the transition can’t happen without lots of copper. Our game-changing technology allows for the use of leaching systems on primary sulfides, which have a far superior environmental profile compared to traditional extraction methods.

Jetti recently raised $100 million in its Series D financing. Our backers include global leaders in the copper mining sector, including Mitsubishi, Freeport-McMoRan, BHP Ventures, Teck, and Orion Resource Partners. Jetti’s team includes some of the world’s most prominent executives and experts in natural resource extraction, copper mining, hydrometallurgy, and project development.

Our vision: To be the world’s leading green copper company by unlocking vast stranded resources needed for the electrified future. We leave the world in a better place than we found it.

Our culture: Jetti’s culture is deliberately designed to attract and nourish innovative people so we maximize our chance of sustained success. Jetti provides high degrees of autonomy, flexibility, and freedom; and we expect high degrees of urgency, performance, and responsibility in return.

Our values: Jetti hires employees who act with urgency, persistence, and excellence above all else. We highly value impact, passion, safety, judgement, innovation, communication, and honesty.
