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. We recently raised a $13m Series A, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, to accelerate our mission to scale carbon removal to gigatonnes.
Why is carbon removal critical?
Carbon removal includes nature-based solutions like afforestation and cutting-edge technologies that literally pull carbon from the sky and store it underground for millennia. Our team of climate scientists act as an outsourced carbon removal procurement partner to our customers. They source and vet carbon removal projects from the frontier of science with a rigorous method that covers 100s of dimensions across environmental, market, and delivery risk categories. We list only 12% of projects that we vet on our marketplace.
We need to scale to remove 10 billion tons a year by 2050 to stay below 1.5 degrees of warming. This is over 14,000x the rate we are removing carbon at today. We've only removed a few thousand tonnes to date. This will be a trillion dollar industry by 2050.
The Role
Our role as a marketplace is to discover the highest quality projects in the market and enable them to scale through deals with large enterprise customers. This role will take the lead in building out our Nature Based Solutions category. You will work alongside PhD Climate Scientists and supply chain experts to source projects, bring them through our vetting process and support the delivery of project-defining deals. You will be reporting to the Supply Senior Manager who oversee the day to day operation of our supply team.
What will you achieve in the next 12 months?
- Become an expert in the NBS market; you will be the key resource in the company to understand sector trends and the details on the best projects
- Build a healthy pipeline of high quality projects for our climate team to vet
- Onboard vetted projects and support them to get the most out of our platform
- Build trust with projects through quarterly business reviews and structured deal updates
- Lead on projects that develop out our offering to suppliers (e.g. supporting the launch of supply-side tools)
