London, Greater London, United Kingdom CUR8 EARTH Full time

The science is clear:

even if we do everything else right on reducing emissions, the world needs to remove 200 Gigatonnes of carbon from the atmosphere by 2050.

We have decades of experience working with the leading climate change actors, which we combine with deep technical and business expertise to build the carbon removals industry faster than ever before.

We partner with providers of the highest quality carbon removals, and we don't stop there; Together with our sister NGO, Rethinking Removals, we collaborate with the entire carbon removals ecosystem, across suppliers, buyers, policymakers, and narrative setters, together to develop and invest in future projects to make sure there are enough carbon removals in 1, 5, 10 and 25 years time.

between us, we've built, scaled, and sold successful tech businesses, advised governments on net zero, shaped global narratives at Nature, New Scientist, and the BBC, led startup support and investments at Google, invested in and built carbon removal startups.

You will be part of our science team, contributing to CUR8's approach to the science behind carbon removals
You will conduct comprehensive assessments of CDR projects and methodologies, across a wide range of nature-based, technological and hybrid solutions; You will help identify and assess specific project risks, and support the development of Cur8's internal risk quantification and mitigation framework
You will help support the development of scientific theses per removal type
You will identify opportunities to enhance our scientific due diligence process and support its implementation
You will act as a point of contact for our current and new carbon removal suppliers, helping guide them through our due diligence process
You may act as a UK point of contact with our scientific advisors and external scientific communities
You will collaborate with sales, operations, engineering, product and marketing teams to ensure scientific rigour and knowledge of carbon removals underpin success for the entire organisation
You will help inform our overall business strategy to achieve maximum commercial and climate outcomes, always balancing what's good for the company, the ecosystem, and the planet
