CURA is a Canadian climatetech company developing electrochemical technology to reduce CO₂ emissions from cement production. We split limestone into lime and pure CO₂ for storage or use, cutting emissions by up to 85% while lowering energy use and manufacturing cost. CURA is building a 30,000 TPA commercial facility on line for 2028. Designed as a retrofit-ready solution, CURA's technology integrates with existing feedstocks, infrastructure, and operations. The company's founders are seasoned climatetech leaders, with experience in scaling technologies to reduce global CO₂ emissions. CURA works with partners globally to accelerate the decarbonization of the cement industry.

We are building a team of inventors, builders, and systems thinkers who thrive at the intersection of ambition and execution.

CURA operates with a strong safety culture and all team members complete OHS orientation and role-specific safety training.

CURA's technology produces a pure stream of CO₂, but capturing its full climate and commercial value means getting that CO₂ into permanent storage and turning verified emissions reductions into revenue. As Manager, Carbon Markets & Storage, you will own CURA's carbon value chain end to end: securing CO₂ transport and storage for our projects, monetizing our environmental attribute credits (EACs), and positioning CURA's decarbonized cement within evolving carbon regulatory frameworks in Canada, Europe, and beyond. This is a commercially focused role at the heart of CURA's business model, working alongside our engineering team and reporting directly into the leadership team. You will be the company's expert on how carbon becomes value — from the compression skid to the credit registry to the purchase agreement.
