🏢 About Global Changer

Global Changer is a climate tech start-up that provides an efficient platform guiding B2B companies to swift Net-Zero emissions with automated data solutions. They are remote-first and offer the opportunity to shape a growing team in a high-impact field.

About This Role

This role involves defining processes and building a team, independently managing key accounts for carbon management (CCF, PCF, Net-Zero), shaping the software, and leading strategic projects. You'll directly drive sustainability for major clients while influencing product development.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a client check-in to review carbon footprint progress, followed by internal team stand-up to align on process improvements. Afternoon could involve validating software outputs for a key account and preparing a strategic Net-Zero roadmap proposal.

🎯 Who Global Changer Is Looking For

  • A seasoned sustainability consultant with 3+ years focused on CCF/PCF and Net-Zero strategies, ideally in a B2B context.
  • A proven team manager with at least 1 year of experience leading or scaling a consulting team.
  • Fluent in German (C2) and English (C1) with excellent communication skills for client and internal collaboration.
  • Hands-on, proactive project manager who thrives in a start-up environment and can balance strategic thinking with execution.
