Job description

🌱 About us

Greenly was founded in 2019 by Alexis, Matthieu and Arnaud with one mission: make carbon management as essential as financial management.

Today, we are a global leader in carbon accounting, proudly B-Corp certified and part of the French Tech 120. Our climate suite combines smart data collection with intuitive automation, helping companies measure, reduce, and report their emissions with ease — supported at every step by our in-house climate experts. 💚

More than 3,500 companies in 20+ countries use Greenly to manage their climate strategy: from carbon assessments and life-cycle analyses to SBTi trajectories and compliance with CSRD and CBAM.

We are now a team of 200+ people from 40+ nationalities, based in Paris, London, Barcelona, and New York. 🌎

To date, we’ve tracked over 200 million tons of CO₂ through our platform. Our next milestone: 10,000 clients and one billion tons of CO2 under management.

🌱 Our Values

  • Ambition for climate: Minimize GHG emissions, maximize climate impact
  • Deliver with agility: Work in small increments: fail fast, learn fast, win fast
  • Own your opportunities: Achieve outstanding results by showing initiative and accountability
  • Feedback paves the way: Succeed as a team by helping others progress

🌱  About the team 

You’ll join Greenly’s Climate Delivery team, a group of customer-obsessed Climate Experts dedicated to guiding clients through their most strategic climate and sustainability challenges. 🤝

We deliver high-quality climate projects — carbon assessments, lifecycle analyses (LCA), SBTi trajectories, CSRD support — and help organizations turn data and regulations into clear, actionable decisions.

As a team, we:

  • Combine analytical rigor with a strong customer success mindset
  • Act as trusted advisors, not just technical analysts
  • Thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment, sharing methods, scripts, and lessons learned
  • Work closely with Customer Support, Product, Sales, and Marketing to ensure our clients succeed and our methodologies stay robust 💡

It’s one of Greenly’s most influential client-facing teams: high expectations, complex projects, and real impact on both client outcomes and product evolution. 🌍

🌱 About the role 

We’re looking for a Climate Expert (2–8 years experience) who can blend analytical depth, project management, and confident client communication — someone who is as comfortable working with data as they are leading a meeting.

Your mission:

Drive end-to-end delivery of climate projects (GHG, LCA, SBTi, CSRD…), act as a trusted advisor, and help clients understand what to do next — not just what their footprint is. 🌍

In your first months, you will:

  • Take ownership of your first GHG assessment projects
  • Lead client meetings (kick-off, methodology, results) in French and English
  • Conduct data collection, consistency checks, and methodological analysis
  • Translate technical outputs into clear, executive-ready recommendations
  • Share feedback with our Product team to improve processes and tools 💡

You will drive:

  • Smooth, structured delivery of climate projects
  • Clear expectations and boundaries with clients (including saying no when needed)
  • High-quality documentation that can stand up to audit or regulatory review
  • Cross-team alignment by sharing field insight and improvement ideas
  • A professional and assertive client posture, even under pressure 💼

🌱 What success looks like in your first year

  • You manage a portfolio of complex, multi-stakeholder clients with confidence
  • You deliver high-quality GHG, LCA, SBTi, or CSRD-related projects on time
  • Clients see you as a trusted advisor, not a technician
  • You handle pressure, ambiguity, and conflicting expectations with resilience
  • You contribute to improving tools, methods, templates, or processes
  • You mentor newcomers or support internal initiatives as you grow 🤝

🌱 Skills to succeed

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have 2–8 years of experience in consulting, project management, sustainability, climate/energy, engineering, or data-driven roles
  • Are very comfortable with numbers, assumptions, and calculations
  • Have strong project- and stakeholder-management skills 
  • Communicate clearly and confidently, simplifying complex topics for non-experts
  • Are assertive and comfortable pushing back when needed (scope, delays, data quality) 💬
  • Are resilient to change: fast-moving environments, evolving products, multiple priorities
  • Are curious about climate regulation and carbon accounting (GHG Protocol, SBTi, CSRD…)
  • Are bilingual in French and English (C1/C1), both verbal and written ✨

You may also have:

  • Strong Excel skills (mandatory)
  • Experience with Python/SQL/BI tools (nice to have)
  • Prior exposure to climate frameworks or sustainability consulting 📊

You might not be a fit if:

  • You prefer working behind the scenes with minimal client interaction
  • You dislike challenging clients or navigating conflicting opinions ❌
  • You find fast-paced environments overwhelming

🌱 Perks & benefits

    • 💰 €44-54K total annual compensation (incl. variable)
    • 📍 Beautiful offices in the heart of Paris (9ᵉ arrondissement)
    • 🏠 Flexible remote work options
    • ⚒️ Top-notch tools to help you do your best work
    • 🩺 Private medical insurance with Alan (including mental health support), 100% covered
    • 🚅 50% Navigo reimbursement for public transport
    • 🥗 Sustainable lunch vouchers via Ekip
    • 🤸 Partial coverage of your Gymlib subscription
    • 🤝 A culture of autonomy, transparency, and collaboration — with a team of highly talented, committed people

    🌱 The recruitment process 

    • Meet our Team Lead for an introduction to the role
    • Prepare and present a case study exercise
    • Meet the Head of Delivery, Ying
    • Provide us with 1-2 references to complete the recruitment process
    • We welcome you during our onboarding week! 🥳

    We’re a team shaped by diverse experiences and ideas. If you’re excited about the role but don’t match every requirement, we still encourage you to apply — you may be the right person for the team. 🙏
