CURA is a Canadian climate technology company working to change how one of the world's most essential materials is made. Our mission is to eliminate those emissions by becoming the default technology for cement production everywhere. Our electrochemical process splits limestone into lime and a pure stream of CO₂ for storage or use, with the potential to reduce emissions by up to 85% while lowering energy use and manufacturing costs. CURA is working toward bringing a 30,000‑tonne‑per‑year commercial demonstration facility online in 2028. Led by experienced climate technology founders, we collaborate with cement producers, engineers, researchers and industry partners around the world to move breakthrough technology from the lab to industrial scale. We are building a team of curious scientists, inventive engineers and practical problem‑solvers who enjoy tackling big challenges together. We combine scientific rigour with an entrepreneurial culture that values collaboration, creativity, learning, and fun. CURA maintains a strong safety culture, and every team member completes occupational health and safety orientation and role‑specific training. CURA is commercializing an electrochemical pre‑calcination carbon capture technology for low‑carbon cement production, moving from pilot deployment toward commercial‑scale projects. The Business Development Manager will own the external‑facing commercial strategy for this transition by building and structuring partnerships across the cement, construction, and industrial infrastructure value chain, and shaping the deal and financing pathways that enable projects to move from pilot to full commercial scale. This role is central to translating CURA's technical progress into bankable, partnered commercial projects and will work closely with finance, technical,



and executive leadership to align commercial strategy with capital planning.
