How to Apply for Senior Director, Carbon Strategy & Partnerships
at CarbonCure Technologies
🏢 About CarbonCure Technologies
CarbonCure Technologies is revolutionizing the concrete industry by embedding captured CO2 into concrete, making it stronger while permanently storing carbon. Unlike many climate tech companies, they have a commercially proven technology already deployed in hundreds of concrete plants globally, targeting a massive 500 megatonne annual CO2 reduction. Working here means directly scaling a tangible, high-impact solution within a critical hard-to-abate sector.
About This Role
This Senior Director role is the strategic and commercial engine for CarbonCure's carbon credit revenue stream, requiring you to lead the entire credit lifecycle from development to sales while shaping market partnerships. You'll directly impact the company's financial model and market leadership by monetizing their carbon removal technology and influencing carbon policy. It's a high-visibility position that blends deep carbon market expertise with business development in the construction and climate tech ecosystems.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve a morning strategy session with your carbon credit team on verification timelines with a registry like Verra, followed by outreach to a potential corporate buyer to pitch CarbonCure's credit attributes. In the afternoon, you could be preparing for a panel on carbon utilization in construction, then collaborating with partnerships staff to refine a go-to-market strategy for a new region, all while monitoring regulatory updates that could impact credit pricing.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who CarbonCure Technologies Is Looking For
- A carbon markets veteran with 7+ years specifically in credit generation, verification (e.g., with Verra, Gold Standard), and sales, ideally with exposure to industrial or technological carbon removal (not just forestry or renewables).
- A proven sales leader who has designed and executed partnership strategies with corporate buyers, brokers, and climate programs, able to articulate the unique value of CarbonCure's mineralized carbon credits.
- Someone with a strong grasp of both voluntary and compliance carbon markets, regulations, and standards, coupled with the ability to represent the company as a credible spokesperson on industrial decarbonization.
- A strategic operator who can manage a team, build cross-sector relationships (NGOs, advocacy coalitions, construction), and align carbon strategy with the core mission of revolutionizing concrete.
📝 Tips for Applying to CarbonCure Technologies
Quantify your carbon credit experience: specify the volume (megatonnes), standards (e.g., Verra VM0043), registry systems, and buyer types (corporates, brokers) you've managed in previous roles.
Tailor your resume to highlight experience at the intersection of carbon markets and physical industries (construction, materials, industrial tech), not just general sustainability.
Demonstrate knowledge of CarbonCure's specific technology and business model; avoid generic climate tech language. Mention their partnership network or specific projects if possible.
Showcase both strategic and sales/partnership achievements. Prepare examples of how you've built a carbon credit program from development to monetization.
If you have public speaking or advocacy experience on carbon markets, highlight specific panels, conferences, or policy engagements relevant to industrial decarbonization.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
['Your direct experience in the carbon credit lifecycle—development, verification, registry management, and sales—specifically within technology-based or industrial removal solutions.', 'Proven ability to build partnerships and sales strategies with carbon credit buyers and climate programs, emphasizing results (e.g., revenue generated, partnerships secured).', "Understanding of CarbonCure's unique position in concrete decarbonization and how your carbon market expertise can scale their credit monetization and market influence.", 'Leadership in navigating carbon market trends and regulations, and your experience as a spokesperson or advocate in the climate tech/industrial decarbonization space.']
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → CarbonCure's technology and how it generates carbon credits (e.g., their methodology, partnership with concrete producers, credit sales announcements).
- → Their existing carbon market partnerships and public statements (e.g., CEO speeches, blog posts on carbon credits) to understand their current strategy and tone.
- → The competitive landscape for technological carbon removal in concrete (e.g., other startups, traditional CCS) and key carbon market players they engage with.
- → Recent carbon market developments relevant to industrial decarbonization, such as new standards, corporate demand signals, or policy shifts in regions where CarbonCure operates.
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting a generic sustainability resume without specific carbon credit or market development quantifiers (e.g., volumes, standards, sales results).
- Demonstrating only theoretical knowledge of carbon markets without hands-on experience in credit generation, verification, or B2B sales in a related sector.
- Failing to connect your experience to CarbonCure's specific context—e.g., discussing only renewable energy credits without addressing industrial or technological removal challenges.
