How to Apply for Customer Success Analyst

at Cambio

🏢 About Cambio

Cambio is a climate tech startup uniquely focused on decarbonizing commercial real estate through AI-powered analytics and retrofit recommendations. Unlike generic sustainability consultancies, they combine building science expertise with data analytics to provide actionable solutions for institutional clients. Working here means directly contributing to measurable carbon reduction in a high-impact sector.

About This Role

As a Customer Success Analyst at Cambio, you'll bridge client needs with technical execution by managing data onboarding, quality assurance, and analytics delivery for large institutional real estate portfolios. This role is impactful because you'll ensure clients receive accurate emissions insights and retrofit recommendations that drive actual decarbonization decisions. You'll be the linchpin between customer success, data operations, and sustainability reporting.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing incoming property data from a new client's portfolio, identifying inconsistencies in energy usage formats, and building Excel models to standardize it for Cambio's platform. You might then join a call with an asset management team to automate their data collection process, followed by QA checks on analytics outputs before they're delivered for a GRESB reporting deadline. The role balances deep data work with client coordination and problem-solving.

Practice questions for this role

🎯 Who Cambio Is Looking For

  • Has 2+ years in consulting, data analytics, or finance with proven experience handling messy, unstructured datasets in Excel (not just clean data)
  • Is genuinely data-obsessed—finds satisfaction in standardizing inconsistent property data and solving Excel modeling puzzles
  • Understands commercial real estate operations or sustainability reporting frameworks (GRESB, TCFD, CDP), even if indirectly
  • Thrives in client-facing technical roles where they must explain data issues to non-technical property teams while coordinating with engineering

📝 Tips for Applying to Cambio

1

Quantify your experience with 'unstructured data'—mention specific examples where you transformed inconsistent spreadsheets into standardized formats

2

Highlight any exposure to commercial real estate, property management, or sustainability reporting, even if tangential

3

If you have SQL/programming experience, frame it as a bonus for automating data collection (align with Cambio's automation focus)

4

Tailor your resume to show both quantitative rigor (data QA, analytics) and client coordination skills

5

Research Cambio's specific decarbonization approach and mention how your skills fit their AI-based retrofit model

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Demonstrate your 'data obsession' with a concrete example of solving a complex data quality problem", 'Explain why decarbonizing commercial real estate specifically motivates you (not just general sustainability)', "Connect your quantitative background to client success—how you've previously turned data into actionable insights for stakeholders", "If applicable, briefly note how you've supported reporting frameworks like GRESB or coordinated cross-functional teams"]
