Job description

We are hiring a Technical Sales Engineer to join our Sales team and increase our capacity to run complex, high-value deals.

This is not a hunter role. You will not own a revenue target or spend your time prospecting. Your job is to give our commercial team leverage by owning the technical side of deals and turning complexity into clarity.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with Account Executives and Strategic Partnerships Leads on live opportunities, owning the technical discovery and deep dive conversations.
• Explain CUR8’s portfolio, methodologies, ratings and risk views in clear, simple language to senior stakeholders in sustainability, finance and procurement.
• Design and lead technical sessions with client teams, helping them understand trade offs between different carbon removal options.
• Act as a bridge between Sales, Science, Carbon Operations, Legal and emerging policy, making sure we bring the right expertise into the right deals at the right time.
• Track relevant standards, policy developments and market signals, and brief the commercial team on what they mean for clients and live deals.
• Capture structured learnings from deals and feed them into our product roadmap, sales playbooks and standard materials.
• Contribute to documentation of deal assumptions and decisions in our CRM and internal tooling.

Over time, you will help define what excellent technical sales support looks like at CUR8 and help us scale it.

About CUR8

The science is clear: humanity must remove CO₂ from the atmosphere at unprecedented scale, and fast. Even if we eliminate all emissions, the world still needs to remove 5–10 gigatonnes of carbon annually by 2050—there’s simply no Net Zero without removals.

At CUR8, we’re driven to build the worldwide market for carbon removals. We're on a mission to facilitate 1 billion tonnes of carbon removed in a single year. We're the leading science, procurement, and management platform for carbon removal: blending technology, finance, and scientific expertise to help companies find, buy, manage, and finance removals.

Our offtake financing product provides project developers with upfront capital, accelerating the buildout of high-quality carbon removal around the world. We’re a proven force in carbon finance — having made headlines with our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) carbon removal offtake financing deal alongside Standard Chartered and British Airways, setting a new standard for innovation, rigour, and credibility in global carbon markets. Now we’re growing this team to keep up with our demand.

Requirements

Treat this as a guide, not a checklist. If you think you would be impactful here, even if you do not tick every box, we want to hear from you.

Essential:

• Proven experience in complex B2B sales environments, playing the technical or solutions expert rather than the hunter.
• A real enjoyment of going deep on technical topics and making them understandable for non experts.

Desirable:

• A degree in a science or numerate subject or equivalent experience in a technical field.
• Experience in climate tech, renewables, carbon markets or a closely related sector.
• The ability to span functions and perspectives.
• Strong communication skills, with confidence in front of senior decision makers in corporate sustainability, finance or strategy.
• High integrity, a low ego and a collaborative approach. You are comfortable supporting others to close deals rather than needing to be front and centre yourself.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias to action. We are early in building both the market and the company, and you will help shape how we work.

This role is based in London with hybrid working. We expect you to be in our Old Street office around two to three days per week, because the boundary spanning nature of the role benefits from in person collaboration.

Benefits

About the perks:

• CUR8 is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
• With a little bit of luck, we’ll save the planet (pretty good, isn’t it). But seriously - every time we transact, the world gets a little better.
• We’ll treat you with dignity; across competitive compensation, meaningful equity, generous time off, and a culture that’s inclusive for parents and respectful of boundaries (no late night emails!).
• We have our own bright lovely office in Old Street - which you will get to shape alongside us.
• Time and money to learn: every member of the team receives a £1,000 personal development budget to spend on up‑skilling themselves and supporting the team.
• We offer 4 weeks per year to work from anywhere in the world.
• A great pension - we contribute 6% (salary sacrifice).

About our process:

Our process aims to give all of us the chance to get to know each other, our aspirations, and whether this is an exciting fit. It starts with an initial chat to tell you more about CUR8, what we’re looking for, and understand more about your goals. Next is a skills focused interview, which leads to an ideally in person final stage split over two parts: a working session with team and a 1:1 founder meeting.

Every deal you deliver helps remove carbon from the atmosphere—and our work really matters, every single day. If you’re passionate about reversing climate change, love collaborating with true experts, and want to have real impact—apply now! If you’re not a perfect match but will make CUR8 stronger, we want to hear from you.
