<p>The latest IPCC reports tell it all. We can decarbonize industry, switch to renewables, and drive electric vehicles. But we still need to remove 10 billion tonnes of CO2 from the air each year by 2050 to stay below 1.5C of warming. To do this, the voluntary carbon removal industry needs to scale by 14,000x in the next 27 years. That's where Supercritical comes in.</p> <p>Our mission is to scale carbon removal to gigatonne capacity before it's too late. As the leading carbon removal marketplace we provide liquidity to this new market by matching large-scale buyers with the most trusted suppliers of carbon removal credits. We help ambitious buyers find innovative supply, de-risking the transaction for buyers and providing a route to market for suppliers.</p> <p>In June 2023 we raised a $13M Series A from Lightspeed Venture Partners to achieve the next stage of our growth. We'd like your help!</p> <p><strong>Why is carbon removal critical?</strong></p> <p>Carbon removal includes nature-based solutions like biochar and cutting-edge technologies that literally pull carbon from the sky and store it underground for millennia. 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.</p> <section class="styles--3vx-H" aria-labelledby="job-requirements-title" data-ui="job-requirements"> <div> <p><strong>What values can you expect from your colleagues?</strong></p> <p>We have set ourselves the mission of leading the carbon removal market to 14,000x its current size by 2050. In order to do that we need brave adventurers that think huge and deliver at speed. We call this the&nbsp;<strong>14,000x mindset</strong>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The key components of the 14,000x mindset are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Ownership mentality</strong>: We relish autonomy and we create it for others. We are deeply curious and thrive on understanding the root cause of complex problems. We take ownership over our own and our team&rsquo;s development by giving and soliciting direct and actionable feedback.</li> <li><strong>Move fast:</strong>&nbsp;We identify the most important problems to solve and cut everything else. We test ideas early so we don&rsquo;t waste time on dead ends. We default to action and deliver awesome results.</li> <li><strong>Radiate positive energy:</strong>&nbsp;We come to problems with energy and passion. We nurture new ideas and engage positively in testing them. We inspire our colleagues to go further and are resilient to set backs. We recharge by taking time off. We are here for a great day, not a long day.</li> <li><strong>Communicate proactively:</strong>&nbsp;We communicate simply and directly. We broadcast updates, insights and lessons learnt, especially when things haven&rsquo;t gone to plan. We give as much context as possible so our teammates can make great decisions.</li> </ul> </div> </section> <section class="styles--3vx-H" aria-labelledby="job-benefits-title" data-ui="job-benefits"> <h2 id="job-benefits-title">Benefits</h2> <div> <ul> <li>Basic salary</li> <li>Annual leave: unlimited</li> <li>Pension: 3% employer contribution when matched by 5% employee contribution</li> <li>Hybrid working: remote first with the option to work from a London office 1-2 days per week</li> <li>Other benefits: &pound;1000 annual wellbeing allowance and working-from-home equipment budget up to &pound;500</li> <li>Monthly company socials</li> <li>Purchase high quality carbon removal offsets for your personal emissions from our inventory</li> </ul> <p><strong>Diversity and Inclusion</strong></p> <p>We&rsquo;ve been committed to building an inclusive and diverse workplace since day one of the company. We&rsquo;re the only company we&rsquo;re aware of with a 50:50 gender balanced list of investors and our day to day processes are always defined with D&amp;I in mind, for example our remote first policy and flexibility around working time.</p> <p>We are excited to encourage applications and interest from individuals underrepresented in the climate and tech space. Climate change and climate justice is a social issue that cuts across race and gender. We welcome applicants with lived experience across these issues.</p> <p>Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire!</p> </div> </section>
