Why Patch, why now

Patch exists to put the planet back in balance by scaling unified climate action through software, market infrastructure, and culture-driven execution. Every day our platform not only curates the world’s most trusted carbon-removal and environmental datasets—it also moves 100s of millions of dollars to projects that cut, capture, or store CO₂ for good.

Our culture is built on three non-negotiables:

• We build the future we want – we don’t wait for permission; we shape the market.
• We’re all in this together – direct, empathetic teamwork inside Patch and across the climate ecosystem.
• We amp it up – urgency and unreasonably high standards because the planet can’t wait.

If that mindset energizes you, read on.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Head of Supply to lead our Supply function, including managing a small team, building Patch’s Supply strategy, and scaling how we source, onboard, and support a diverse network of climate project suppliers. As a key member of our Go-to-Market leadership team, you’ll be responsible for building and scaling processes and strategies to attract new suppliers, streamline onboarding, and ensuring our supplier relationships are set up for success from day one. This is a high-impact, process-driven role that will help shape the quality and integrity of Patch’s platform. You will partner closely with Sales, Climate Strategy, and Product to ensure we win in the market, accelerate revenue, and strengthen our leadership position.

This is a high-visibility role that combines commercial acumen, operations, and high velocity execution. The ideal candidate is equal parts strategist and builder—someone who can operate at the executive level while rolling up their sleeves to drive outcomes.

What you’ll tackle

• Set vision for the team, thinking strategically about the role of Supply in Patch's mission and vision and how it will evolve to support business growth
• Own key relationships in our supplier network and navigate challenges with leadership to build a market-leading supplier experience
• Set deal strategy for the Supply organization and coach on commercial strategy on supplier deals, including leading and enabling best-in-class contracting and negotiations
• Contribute to product strategy by providing direction and strong partnerships with cross functional stakeholders to set our product roadmap
• Act as the face of Supply by representing Patch at carbon market industry focused forums, conferences, and contributing to content and white papers
• Build high performing teams by investing in your team’s capabilities, supporting career growth, and driving company performance

What makes you a great match

• Strategic leader with 10+ years of experience who has directly built or been part of the growth of a commercial function at a high-growth startup
• An operator who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work collaboratively to support Patch’s most important business needs
• A high functioning, high-agency individual who will take ownership and build with confidence and strategic foresight
• A technical expert with deep understanding of contracting and project developer, aggregator, and trader negotiations
• A natural relationship builder who is energized by expanding networks and engaging with external stakeholders
• A market expert who knows the carbon market inside and out while staying current on evolving market trends across various environmental commodities

What you’ll get

• A mission-obsessed crew building with speed and sky-high standards
• Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Onsite culture in San Francisco with bi-annual off-sites for deep strategy and team bonding
• Time‑off‑as‑needed vacation and generous parental leave
• Monthly wellness stipend (mental and physical)

If working with innovative project developers to build a market and scale climate action sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to meet you.

Let’s rebalance the planet together.
