at Integrity Next

🏢 About Integrity Next

IntegrityNext is a fast-growing sustainability tech company that helps enterprises decarbonize their supply chains. Their focus on AI-driven carbon management and regulatory compliance (CBAM, CSRD) makes them a leader in the space, offering a chance to shape cutting-edge climate tools.

About This Role

This role owns the carbon and climate strategy at IntegrityNext, translating complex regulations like GHG Protocol and CBAM into scalable product features. You'll work at the intersection of policy, data, and AI to build tools that enable supply chain decarbonization at scale.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by reviewing regulatory updates (e.g., CBAM, ESRS) and collaborating with product managers to refine data models. Afternoons might involve working with engineers on AI features for emission factor matching or designing workflows for Scope 3 calculations. You'll also consult with customers to validate your product direction.

🎯 Who Integrity Next Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years deep-diving into Scope 1-3 emissions, product carbon footprints, and regulatory frameworks like ESRS and CBAM.
  • Can translate standards (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064) into data models and workflows for software products.
  • Has hands-on experience with AI tools (LLMs) for carbon accounting or reporting automation.
  • Comfortable collaborating with product managers and engineers to design AI-supported features.

📝 Tips for Applying to Integrity Next

1

Highlight specific experience with CBAM, PACT, or Catena-X in your resume, as these are key differentiators.

2

Showcase any work where you turned regulatory requirements into product logic or data models.

3

Mention familiarity with AI tools (e.g., using LLMs for emission factor curation) explicitly.

4

Tailor your cover letter to IntegrityNext's mission of 'enhancing corporate supply chains' – use their language.

5

Provide a brief example of a carbon calculation methodology you designed or improved.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't focus only on theoretical knowledge – emphasize practical implementation and productization.
  • Avoid being vague about AI experience – be specific about tools (e.g., GPT-4, custom LLMs) and use cases.
  • Don't overlook the supply chain angle – this role is about enabling decarbonization across supply chains, not just corporate reporting.
