🏢 About Global Changer

Global Changer is a climate tech start-up offering an efficient platform that automates data collection and analysis to guide B2B companies toward net-zero emissions. Their focus on automated solutions sets them apart, making sustainability reporting faster and more accurate, which is critical for scaling climate action. Working here means being at the forefront of digital sustainability innovation.

About This Role

As a Sustainability Consultant, you will independently manage client relationships in carbon management (CCF, PCF, net-zero), process sustainability data to create corporate carbon footprints, and validate software outputs. You'll also play a key role in shaping the software itself, directly influencing product development based on client feedback and data insights.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day by reviewing client data uploads and running the software to generate preliminary carbon footprints. Mid-morning, you might have a client call to discuss results and gather feedback. After lunch, you dive into emission factor matching and validate outputs, then collaborate with the product team on a software improvement based on client insights.
