You'll be at the front of a nascent industry, working as part of a fantastic and diverse team, doing things that you can be proud of. We're excited to have the opportunity to speak with you during this process.
Our mission
To deepen the understanding of our changing planet and inspire meaningful action.
What we do
We're helping the world become more resilient to the impacts of physical climate risks (including floods, fires, storms and more). In doing so, we help drive positive global impact aligned to many of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's).
Our team builds cutting-edge, peer-reviewed science (incorporating climate projections, remote sensing data) and translates that into financial impacts (to the value of assets or business disruption linked to failure of critical infrastructure) that our customers in the financial services industry use to identify, manage and mitigate those risks.
Climate X's customers include the world's largest banks, asset managers and insurance companies including CBRE, Standard Chartered, Virgin Money, as well as a partnership ecosystem that includes Deloitte, Capgemini and AWS. Combined, they manage over $6.5 trillion of assets.
Customer's choose us thanks to our ecosystem of products that help solve real human problems, and drive tangible business benefits to our customers. They love our customer-centric mindset, as well as our pace of innovation in the market.
The Opportunity
As Account Executive, you will spearhead revenue growth by developing and executing innovative sales strategies tailored to clients in the US financial services and real estate sectors (Risk specific). From initial outreach to onboarding, you'll nurture clients through the sales cycle, leveraging your industry expertise to tailor solutions to their needs.
You will deepen your financial and real estate industry knowledge, build and maintain key client relationships, and represent Climate X at industry events. You will deliver demos of our climate risk platform to potential clients, explaining its value proposition and unique features.
Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including sales, marketing, product, and scientific experts, you'll deliver compelling presentations and negotiate agreements that align with our company's objectives.
The impact you'll own
Climate X is a purpose-driven climate adaptation data company set to revolutionise how the world manages assets, property, and infrastructure.
We've embarked on an exciting project to give our customers meaningful insights into how our changing climate will impact their property. From individuals with one property to businesses with millions of assets, our platform displays risks from potentially damaging severe weather events across multiple climate change scenarios and calculates the cost of that damage to the asset valuation.
Climate X will help customers save millions of pounds, be more resilient to climate change, meet incoming regulatory requirements and make smarter investment decisions.
We work with the UK's leading climate scientists, AI specialists and financial services professionals.
We advocate diversity with our founders, team, and investors from various backgrounds. We're not building just a team, but a place of innovation where problem-solving and fun coexist to address the most significant challenge our society is facing now.
