Who we are
Our mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to net zero carbon, but we need to move quickly. Emitwise wants to ensure that every organisation across the world, big or small, is able to embark on a sustainability journey that culminates in net zero. The planet deserves more than just another tech company, and if you do too, then keep reading.
At Emitwise, we've built a team that has the skillset and desire to bring automated carbon accounting to life — saving businesses time, money, and emissions. We have built a platform which makes it significantly easier and faster for companies to calculate, track, and reduce their carbon emissions. This allows them to reduce costs, future-proof their business, and become sustainability leaders. Ultimately, we're a group of people disenchanted with business as usual and looking to make a real impact through creative innovation.
We’re a well-funded post-Series-A startup backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors who share our mission, including True Ventures, Outsized Ventures, Lightbird Capital, ArcTern, Social Impact Capital and Xplorer Capital. To develop industry-shifting products we work with pioneers like Marc Engel, Ex Chief Supply Chain Officer of Unilever, Lynelle Cameron, ex Chief Sustainability Officer of Autodesk and Rob Bernard, Chief Sustainability Officer of CBRE.
With more and more customers coming to Emitwise for carbon accounting and supplier engagement, we have a fantastic opportunity for another carbon accountant to join our team, as soon as possible on a full time, permanent basis.
We want to hear from you if you have 1-3 years' experience of corporate carbon accounting (calculating companies' GHG emissions by collecting their activity data and assigning appropriate emissions factors).

You will work as part of a sub-team with one or more other Analysts and one or more Carbon Accounting Leads - servicing a selection of our customers. You will learn first-hand as you support them in the delivery of various different customer projects. Or if you're an experienced carbon accountant, you'll lead our work for some customers and present the expert technical face of Emitwise in meetings with them.
- We're growing quickly. Your ability to produce high-quality work in a timely way will allow us to continue to rapidly scale our customer base.
- Define world-class carbon accounting. You'll be encouraged to apply your innovative thinking and skills to help improve the efficiency of our processes.

- You understand the GHG protocol and how to apply it to businesses, including different calculation methods and emissions factor types/sources.
- You're flexible, adaptable, and will thrive in a fast-moving, rapidly-scaling company. You're a high-performer and excited to contribute and work hard as part of the growth of an innovative success story, disrupting the sector and generating REAL impact in terms of climate action. You'll be rewarded in many ways (see below) including a stake in Emitwise's success.
- You are passionate about our mission. "Does it get the world to net-zero carbon faster?" (Expect to ask yourself this question regularly when working at Emitwise.)
