We are a fast-growing business that specialises in carbon market solutions to help an increasing number of corporate clients around the world to take climate action.

We are looking for a Research Executive to join our Product Marketing team, reporting to the Marketing Manager. The right candidate will be responsible for researching various elements of private sector climate action, particularly those relating to the Voluntary Carbon Market, in order to build content that brings to life the products we sell today, and research the competitive landscape to inform new products for the future.

THE ROLE

This role will deliver research and manage the delivery of one key piece of content and one key programme of work. The key content is our Fortune Global 500 research, tracking the climate actions and commitments of the world’s leading companies. The research is both an important asset to help our clients understand the trends in climate action and is a key piece of content for giving our company profile, with previous years’ research covered in Forbes, Fast Company and Fortune.
