Supply Associate

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. You'll need commercial instincts - supporting deal pitches, understanding portfolio design, and helping negotiate pricing terms that work for all parties.

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 across the full commercial cycle.
• Develop partner proposals with clear value propositions, participate in commercial negotiations to deliver favourable terms, and support structuring agreements that balance commercial objectives with project fit.
• 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.
