Jobbeschreibung

The Supercritical mission

Supercritical is the gateway to the carbon removal market. One third of corporate buyers, including The Economist, Virgin Atlantic, and Rothschild & Co, use Supercritical’s marketplace to navigate the market, build portfolios of high-quality, vetted projects, and securely transact across spot purchases and offtake agreements. Supercritical is the marketplace of choice for visionary companies with ambitious climate goals that need to be met today, not decades from now.

Why is carbon removal critical?

Carbon removal is essential to limit global warming. At Supercritical, we specialise in durable carbon removal, including biochar and other engineered pathways such as BECCS, DACCS, and enhanced rock weathering. These approaches remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it safely for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Our climate scientists act as an outsourced carbon removal procurement partner for our customers. They source and rigorously vet projects at the frontier of science, evaluating hundreds of environmental, market, and delivery risk factors. Only the top 12% of projects we assess are listed on our marketplace.

Staying below 2°C of global warming now depends on rapidly scaling carbon removal. We must reach roughly 10 billion tons of carbon removed per year by 2050 - more than 14,000 times today’s removal rate. This challenge represents a trillion-dollar industry in the making, with durable, engineered pathways playing a critical role.

The role

We’re on a mission to scale high-quality carbon removal by connecting world-class projects with leading corporate buyers - and as a Supply Associate, you’ll be central to that effort. Working at the intersection of supply and demand, you’ll help expand our carbon removal inventory while driving real commercial impact.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with our Supply, Sales, and Climate teams, including PhD climate scientists and supply chain experts, to support customer deals, manage existing supplier relationships, and build new ones. You’ll gain hands‑on exposure to how top‑tier carbon removal projects are sourced, evaluated, and brought to market.

What you’ll achieve in the next 12 months

• Gain deep expertise in durable carbon removal pathways (e.g. biochar, direct air capture, BECCS, enhanced rock weathering) to inform commercial sourcing decisions.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of high-quality carbon removal projects, coordinating with the Climate team to vet, onboard, and prepare projects for enterprise deals.
• Support customer deals from initial supply screening, to portfolio building, to contract execution, ensuring smooth delivery and operational excellence.
• Develop partner proposals, negotiate favourable terms, and structure agreements that create mutual value.
• Strengthen supplier relationships through regular communication, updates, and business reviews to foster long‑term collaboration.
• Drive process improvements by introducing new tools or workflows that enhance sourcing, management, and scaling of carbon removal supply.

Application guidance

Applications will close on Friday, 9th January.

The interview process will consist of an initial 30‑min call, followed by a 1hr interview with a task to complete, followed by a final founder interview.

We will be closed over the Christmas period (22nd December to 5th January) and will be unable to respond to any queries during this time.

Who you are

You’re passionate about driving climate impact and excited to deepen your expertise in carbon removal. You thrive at the intersection of relationships, operations, and commercial outcomes. You’re energised by fast‑paced environments and solving complex problems. You are motivated by making a tangible impact in a mission‑driven marketplace.

As our ideal candidate, you:

• Bring 2+ years of relevant professional experience and a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience).
• Have a fledgling understanding of carbon removal; deeper CDR knowledge or existing relationships are a plus.
• Excel at discovery calls - deeply understanding partner needs and structuring mutually beneficial value exchanges.
• Communicate value with confidence, enjoy challenging conversations, and negotiate agreements that deliver strong outcomes for all parties.
• Build trusted, long‑term partnerships with an account‑management mindset and a collaborative approach.
• Are data‑driven and operationally strong, using spreadsheets, pricing models, and process improvements to drive efficient, scalable execution.

What values can you expect from your colleagues?

We have set ourselves the mission of leading the carbon removal market to 14,000x its current size by 2050. In order to do that we need brave adventurers that think huge and deliver at speed. We call this the 14,000x mindset. The key components of the 14,000x mindset are:

• Ownership mentality: We relish autonomy and we create it for others. We are deeply curious and thrive on understanding the root cause of complex problems. We take ownership over our own and our team’s development by giving and soliciting direct and actionable feedback.
• Move fast: We identify the most important problems to solve and cut everything else. We test ideas early so we don’t waste time on dead ends. We default to action and deliver awesome results.
• Radiate positive energy: We come to problems with energy and passion. We nurture new ideas and engage positively in testing them. We inspire our colleagues to go further and are resilient to setbacks. We recharge by taking time off. We are here for a great day, not a long day.
• Communicate proactively: We communicate simply and directly. We broadcast updates, insights and lessons learnt, especially when things haven’t gone to plan. We give as much context as possible so our teammates can make great decisions.

• Basic salary: £40k-50k per annum (dependent on experience)
• Annual leave: unlimited
• One company‑wide day off on the first Friday of every month
• Pension: 3% employer contribution when matched by 5% employee contribution
• Hybrid working: remote first with the option to work from our London co‑working space 1-2 days per week
• Other benefits: £1000 annual wellbeing allowance and working‑from‑home equipment budget up to £500
• Monthly company socials in London
• Purchase high quality carbon removal offsets for your personal emissions from our inventory

Diversity and inclusion

We’ve been committed to building an inclusive and diverse workplace since day one of the company. We’re the only company we’re aware of with a 50:50 gender balanced list of investors and our day to day processes are always defined with D&I in mind, for example our remote first policy and flexibility around working time.

We are excited to encourage applications and interest from individuals underrepresented in the climate and tech space. Climate change and climate justice is a social issue that cuts across race and gender. We welcome applicants with lived experience across these issues.

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire!

• UK Work Sponsorship: Unfortunately, at this stage of our growth, we are unable to offer UK sponsorship to applicants.
• Candidates who live outside the UK who are not looking to live and work in the UK, are within 3 hours of the GMT/BST timezone and are willing to travel to London quarterly are encouraged to apply. Please note we will use an Employer of Record arrangement in these circumstances.
