Type: Full-time, early hire
Residual is a carbon removal project developer, working with large industrial partners to transform biogenic waste into high-value carbon removal projects. As the voluntary carbon market shifts toward high-integrity removals, Residual designs and delivers projects end-to-end — securing feedstock, deploying technology, and providing offtake-ready credits to corporate buyers.
Founded by Ted Christie-Miller (former Director of Carbon Removal at BeZero Carbon) and Dr. Laura Fritsch (Co-Founder of Oka, the first full-stack carbon credit insurance company), Residual brings together deep expertise in carbon markets, project development, and credit sales.

- Keep our deal and investor pipelines watertight so nothing slips through the cracks
- Shape investor materials, case studies, and decks that help us close opportunities
- Scout and secure high-value events and speaking slots to put Residual on the map
