About Minimum

Minimum is a Y Combinator backed start-up, founded to tackle the biggest challenge currently facing humanity: how to get to the world to net zero carbon emissions before it's too late. We've raised a $2.6 million Seed round lead by Octopus Ventures to build the sustainability solutions of the future centred around a tool for understanding the carbon footprint of everything.

The first step on this journey is creating the simplest and most effective tools for a business to calculate and manage their carbon footprint. This already includes:

  • A self-serve tool for organisations to quickly and accurately calculate their carbon footprint.
  • Experience building bespoke software solutions for large complex organisations.
  • A team of sustainability experts with decades of footprinting experience
  • A dashboard to manage and track progress towards net-zero

 

The Challenge

Engagement with Sustainability has never been higher, which is a great start, but it is still so difficult to do effectively. The world desperately needs accessible tools that allow businesses, individuals, investors, and governments to understand carbon emissions in sufficient depth to help them budget emissions, design reduction strategies, and, in the meantime, immediately start reducing their impact through scientifically-proven carbon offsetting. Minimum is building the tools to help people get started today. These tools will bring sustainability action into reach for everyone, in a highly scalable way, thereby closing the gap between sustainability engagement and sustainability action.

 

The Opportunity

You would be one of a small team of sustainability experts who work closely with Minimum's co-founders. Your role will be to get stuck in calculating carbon footprints, building our technical footprinting capabilities, working with the Product team to deliver automation to our customers, and growing the Sustainability team. It's highly likely that you would progress in seniority quickly.

You are joining a tight-knit, fast-paced team where everyone knows and cares about each other and what they're working on. You'll report to the James Parker, our founding sustainability lead - but it's likely that you'll interact very frequently with all the wider team.

 

The Skillset - Essentials

All (or some) of the following:

  • Significant interest in a career in sustainability
  • Strong quantitative analytical skills including proficiency in Microsoft Excel
  • Confident and self-motivated
  • Experience developing stakeholder engagements including building and managing long-term client relationships
  • Ability and drive to take ownership of projects

 

The Skillset – ‘Nice to have’

All (or some) of the following:

  • Experience working with businesses on their sustainability strategy
  • Experience evaluating business carbon footprints and/ or reporting on these in line with globally recognised standards
  • Experience analysing large and complex data sets through excel or other quantitative software
  • Professional experience with a corporate organisation, especially within sustainability or data analysis.

 

What the role will look like - from day one you'll:

  1. Produce high-level carbon footprint calculations and estimates (with the support of the team). For example:
    1. Emissions of a mid-sized professional services company
    2. Emissions of each item for the range of a medium size fashion retailer
    3. The supply chain footprint of a major conglomerate.
  2. Feed back to the product team to help guide iterations of the Minimum Corporate Footprint tool calculations, thereby enabling businesses to reach ever-increasing levels of insight in a self-serve setting
  3. Assist with engaging with corporate’s forward looking sustainability strategies and journeys to Net Zero.
  4. Engage with prospective clients in the sales process to showcase Minimum's technical carbon expertise

 

What the role will look like - in the first year you'll have:

  1. Worked alongside the team to build out Minimum's Carbon Consulting team (we are looking to grow the team and hire additional people over the next 6 months, and significantly more over the next 24 months as we scale rapidly)
  2. Helped steer the development of our cutting-edge internal tools and knowledge systems, which we use to calculate and understand the carbon footprints of products & businesses
  3. Built your public presence as an expert in the sustainability world - whether that's publishing blogs or speaking on expert panels

 

💡 This is a full-time role with a salary range of £27.5k-£32.5k per annum based in London. We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible.
