CDR Commercialization & Strategy Lead

About Vaulted

Vaulted is an emerging leader in permanent carbon removal. A biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRs) solution, Vaulted delivers permanent, high quality carbon removal at scale through the geologic sequestration of carbon-filled organic waste.

Vaulted's approach is designed to be the lowest-cost, gigaton scale, permanent carbon removal. We sequester sludgy organic wastes (biosolids, manure, agricultural, food waste, paper sludge, etc.) that today are sent to a landfill, dumped into an ocean/river, land applied, or otherwise left to decompose, releasing GHGs into the atmosphere. Vaulted leverages a suite of patented, mature, geologic slurry sequestration technologies which allow us to sequester organic waste with minimal processing. We inject deep under the earth's surface, where the carbon is permanently trapped under a layer of impermeable rock - the same formations that have kept hydrocarbons underground for millions of years. We have two permitted, operational, facilities allowing us to reach near-term meaningful scale.

Our carbon removal approach goes beyond vaulting carbon. It inherently improves local environmental and human health. In doing so, our operations redress historically unjust waste management practices and advance environmental justice.

Vaulted is backed by leading carbon removal and climate investors, including Lowercarbon Capital, Earthshot Ventures, and WovenEarth Ventures.

About the Role

At Vaulted, we have an aggressive plan to rapidly scale our business operations and climate impact. The pace at which we grow is directly tied to our ability to bring high-quality permanent carbon removal credits to the market.

As the CDR Strategy & Commercialization Lead, you will:

• Support in the development of the go-to-market strategy for Vaulted's CDR product offering and related offering
• Support business development activities including negotiating key partnership and leading sales efforts including building a customer pipeline, building customer relationships, and ultimately securing CDR sales
• Ensure that the Vaulted brand is synonymous with top-quality permanent carbon removal by facilitating CDR quality efforts (including life cycle assessments, registry certification, etc.) and shaping the emerging BiCRs industry standards in partnership with players in the CDR ecosystem
• Drive organizational productivity through creating and implementing OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) among other internal processes to connect the commercial side of the business with our engineering and operations units

This is a unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced and rewarding environment where your contributions will directly lead to mitigating, and eventually reversing, the worst impacts of climate change.

Location can be flexible - we have offices in Houston, TX and San Francisco, CA. In person is preferred, but we are flexible geographically for the right fit.
