at Global Changer

🏢 About Global Changer

Global Changer is a specialized B2B platform focused exclusively on accelerating Net-Zero emissions through automated data solutions. Unlike generic sustainability consultancies, they combine German engineering precision with cutting-edge automation and AI to help businesses achieve climate goals efficiently. This makes them an ideal workplace for data analysts who want to see their work directly translate into measurable environmental impact at scale.

About This Role

As a Sustainability Data Analyst at Global Changer, you'll process client data to create carbon footprints, life cycle assessments (LCAs), and other sustainability reports while actively contributing to the automation and AI development of their platform. This role is impactful because you'll be building the data infrastructure that enables businesses to transition to Net-Zero faster, combining environmental science with technical innovation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves processing German client data to update carbon footprints using Excel and internal tools, collaborating with the tech team to refine automation scripts for data ingestion, and maintaining emissions databases with new factors. You might also join meetings with sustainability consultants to translate client needs into technical requirements for product improvements.
