About Deepsink:

Deepsink is a commercial agency dedicated to accelerating the commercial development of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) companies, helping the most promising climate tech and infrastructure scale with real market traction. As one of the first commercial agencies focused on CDR, we operate at the forefront of a market expected to grow dramatically this decade, giving you a rare chance to shape how durable carbon removal is bought and sold. 

As the first commercial agency in the CDR sector, we are at the forefront of an industry set to grow to £200 billion by 2050. Joining us offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of CDR and make a meaningful impact.

The opportunity

We’re hiring a commercially instinctive, technically rigorous and creatively capable carbon markets specialist to drive business development and deal execution for Deepsink clients across multiple CDR pathways (e.g., BECCS, DAC, Biochar, Enhanced Rock Weathering). 

You will need to combine technical rigour with clear communication to help us win and deliver work by producing precise RFP responses, credible proposals, and concise explainer materials. Track standards, policies, market signals, etc., make you excited, and you are confidently able to turn data into practical tools that help our clients turn complex science and standards into crisp, bankable offtakes..

What you’ll doProduce sales enablement assets. This is a core function of the role. You'll produce original materials, e.g. RFP responses, project proposals, data rooms, buyer guides, one-pagers to consolidate project data, and produce method summaries. Support RFPs end-to-end: Qualify opportunities, coordinate inputs, write and assemble responses, manage clarifications, and support oral presentations. You'll translate pathway-specific fundamentals such as MRV, durability, additionality, FOAK tech, and location risk into value propositions that speak to buyer procurement criteria, not just technical standards.Product technical proposals: Working with the Deepsink team and client models, you need to translate pathway specific fundamentals (MRV, durability, additionality, FOAK tech, location, risk) into compelling value propositions aligned to buyer needs and procurement criteria.Support commercial execution. Partner with our commercial leads on discovery, qualification, and negotiation, and support modelling for pricing structures, offtakes, and delivery risk. Run targeted outreach on behalf of clients to corporate buyers, procurement teams, and the intermediary layers, such as procurement platforms (Frontier, Rubicon, South Pole), sustainability consultants, brokers, and aggregators. You'll build and maintain these relationships systematically, not opportunistically.Navigate VCM and compliance: Advise on registry options, methodologies, eligibility, claims integrity, and contract structures (ex-ante/ex-post, offtakes, forwards).Market intelligence: Track policy shifts, standards updates, buyer preferences, and competitor moves; turn insight into GTM plays and enablement assets. Feed findings into our CRM and market intelligence tools so the whole team benefits.Sales ops craft: Maintain clean CRM hygiene, forecast accurately, and improve repeatable processes, templates, and win-themes across pathways.What you’ll bringCarbon markets experience: 1-3+ years in voluntary/compliance carbon markets, climate tech sales, sustainability procurement, or adjacent consulting/agency roles.

Technical and creative writing ability: This is non-negotiable. You can produce proposals, one-pagers, and client-facing materials that don't need heavy editing. Equally important: you can receive a client's draft deck or technical document and make it significantly better, with a clearer structure, sharper language, and tighter commercial logic. 

Enterprise sales skills: Discovery, multi-stakeholder alignment, objection handling, and commercial negotiation.

Scientific literacy: You don't need a PhD, but you do need to read MRV methodology documents, buyer RFPs, and CDR supplier materials without needing everything translated for you. The aptitude to absorb technical content fast and apply it commercially is essential. 

Tools: Proficient with CRM (HubSpot etc), collaboration/project tools (Notion, Monday/Trello), and basic financial/pricing modelling.Communication: Crisp writing, confident presenting, and the ability to simplify complexity without losing rigour.Nice to have experience with BECCS/DAC/Biochar/ERW suppliers or corporate buyers; familiarity with registries, standards, and label programs; exposure to offtake contracting and risk allocation.
Why Join Deepsink?

Real work, real impact. We're not talkers. The proposals you write, the outreach you run, and the assets you build directly influence whether CDR projects get funded and whether tonnes get bought. You'll see the output of your work in signed contracts.

CDR at the coalface. There's no better place to develop deep, cross-pathway CDR commercial knowledge fast. We operate across BECCS, biochar, ERW, and more on both sides of the market simultaneously. You'll learn more here in a year than most roles offer in three.

Small team, real ownership. No corporate layers. Your contribution is visible and your judgment matters. We operate with a high degree of trust and expect the same in return.

London base, flexible working. Covent Garden office. We work in person regularly, but flexibly.

Travel Opportunities: There may be opportunities for international travel as part of the role.
