New Year - New Job!

The new year is right around the corner. Companies will be finalizing their hiring budgets for the year, employees will be coming back from holiday vacation, and departments will likely have a backlog of work that has been put on pause. All of this to say — it's a great time to land a new job!

As we all know, climate change is a pressing issue that is continuously worsening. According to Nasa, without major action to reduce emissions, global temperature is on track to rise by 2.5 °C to 4.5 °C (4.5 °F to 8 °F) by 2100, according to the latest estimates.

That being said, it is NOT too late. This is where mitigation, adaptation, and sequestration efforts come into play.

• Greenhouse Gas Mitigation: reducing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
• Climate Adaptation: learning to live with, and adapt to, the climate change that is already occurring
• Carbon Sequestration: actively removing and/or storing carbon that is in the air

ClimateTech innovators are creating startling advancements that are addressing this temperature rise head-on. According to London & Partners’ market report, ever since the Paris Agreement came into effect, ClimateTech investments have surged around the world, growing nearly five times from $6.6 billion in 2016 to over $32 billion in 2021.

As these companies continue to get funding, their headcount will also grow on a similar upward trajectory. The worsening effects of climate change, ClimateTech innovation, and the need for ClimateTech jobs are all directly correlated.

So what are some examples of ClimateTech jobs? Here are a few that we're hiring for right now:

• Software Engineer at a company whose software makes it easy to produce and market verifiably sustainable products on budget, for both established brands and startups.
• Senior Data Engineer at a global market leader in analytics for resilience planning and enterprise climate risk management, especially in financial services, industrial, the public sector, and NGOs.
