Supply Manager (EU)

Your role & responsibilities  

The supply of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits needs to be scaled up quickly with dramatic potential across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). As an EMEA CDR Sourcing Manager you will apply your effective negotiation skills to recruit suppliers and play a key consulting role to help them scale and commercialize their carbon removal projects. You will furthermore support supplier due diligence - a key ingredient of our Trust Infrastructure towards carbon removal buyers - and apply your technical knowledge on carbon removal, as well as financial analysis of the projects’ business plans. 

You will be part of Carbonfuture’s Global CDR Sales team and work closely with our European Head of Supply based in Switzerland. 

What you'll do  

• Identify new suppliers and projects across different types of durable removals, with a near-term focus on biochar. Frontier removal approaches (e.g. BECCS, DACCS, Carbonated Building Materials and Enhanced Weathering) will increasingly become part of your role in the medium-long term.  
• Build networks and relationships with carbon removal partners and the greater ecosystem in EMEA, including companies, associations, agencies, etc.   
• Manage your own pipeline of removal projects. Hold the relationship with your own key accounts and regularly update the Buyer Sales team on their progress.  
• Offer reliable and efficient support for our supplier partners towards the issuance of certified removal credits.  
• Become an expert user of Carbonfuture’s digital platform: manage removals and credits, onboard suppliers to the platform, guide suppliers on new features, and give detailed feedback to the product team.  
• Support supplier due diligence, which involves reputational, financial, and environmental risk assessment.   
• Support communication with large corporate partners, including presenting certain key removal projects and becoming an expert for the existing removal methodologies.  
• Represent Carbonfuture at conferences, associations, policy, and lobby groups.  
• Contribute and actively exchange with the scientific and/or policy community.
