About the Role

Stepping into the position of Sustainability Consultant, you will become a key member of an interdisciplinary sustainability team alongside two fellow consultants and five data analysts, reporting directly to the Sustainability Lead. You will take full end-to-end responsibility for guiding enterprise clients through their Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), and Net-Zero transformation journeys—blending deep, hands-on carbon accounting expertise with workflow automation and scalable client enablement. We are seeking a proactive builder who challenges conventional consulting norms and helps re-architect how sustainability advisory is delivered at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Enterprise Consulting: Assume autonomous responsibility for advising corporate accounts on Carbon Management, concentrating primarily on Corporate Carbon Footprints (CCF), PCF, and Net-Zero strategies powered by our proprietary software suite.

• Hands-On Data Analysis & Output Validation: Process intricate client sustainability and operational datasets to compute CCFs, execute emission factor (EF) matching, and thoroughly audit and validate software-generated results—particularly during critical operational sprints.

• Workflow Automation & Scalability: Proactively uncover, architect, and roll out automation initiatives that streamline consulting delivery, data verification, and client communication for maximum scalability.

• Methodology & Process Redesign: Partner with fellow consultants to critically evaluate existing CCF calculation frameworks and internal operations, translating fresh insights into tangible structural enhancements.

• Scalable Client Enablement Resources: Help design, build, and continuously upgrade client communication channels, self-service knowledge bases, and Help Pages so customers can navigate the platform with ease.

• High-Impact Stakeholder Presentations: Facilitate client workshops, ongoing progress check-ins, and case-study presentations, distilling complex regulatory standards and carbon accounting concepts into clear, engaging, and practical takeaways.

• Product Co-Development & Cross-Module Support: Serve as a trusted central point of contact for adjacent sustainability topics and supplementary software products, feeding real-world client insights directly to the Product team to guide platform innovation.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven Carbon Accounting Background: At least 2 years of hands-on professional experience in sustainability consulting or an internal corporate sustainability team, demonstrating direct personal ownership of CCF, PCF, or LCA reporting (purely academic or high-level coordination backgrounds will not be considered).

• Operational & Analytical Execution: Strong readiness to dive into operational data workflows—including emission factor matching and detailed software result reviews—alongside strategic client advisory.

• Project Management & Automation Mindset: Demonstrated track record managing multi-stakeholder projects, paired with a keen instinct for process optimization, automation, and scalable customer success operations.

• Education: A completed university degree is required, though proven, real-world execution and measurable impact in carbon footprinting carry the greatest weight.

• Language Skills: Native-level, negotiation-fluent German (C2) is mandatory for daily client interactions, complemented by business-fluent English (C1+) proficiency.

• Remote Setup & Travel Readiness: Residing within Germany for 100% remote work, with flexibility for occasional in-person client meetings or team offsites.

Core Competencies & Mindset

• Builder & Status-Quo Challenger: You go far beyond maintaining existing playbooks—you actively question established routines and engineer smarter, faster ways of operating.

• Clear, Dynamic Communicator: Energetic, structured, and persuasive presenter who cuts through dense theory to deliver crisp, actionable business insights.

• Quality-Obsessed & Self-Driven: Curious, pragmatic, and accountable self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving start-up environment without micromanagement.
