"This is how it works and who the players are"
Why: Pale Blue Dot invests in climate tech startups all over Europe and in the US. We need a person running the field of "Insight and Research" to help support the factual part of investment decisions.
What: Create and communicate insights into both "live deals" (rush-jobs) and "thesis areas" (bi-weekly projects within climate tech fields). Brevity and depth are valued so that the material can be used to make decisions.
Who: You are a "written communicator" at heart and see your outputs as supporting, internal work, and not public "media pieces." You find it exciting to search and find information that answers given research questions. You are well versed in communicating and writing in English, and you are candid, fun to work with, and care about climate.
You will write and summarize insights that we are looking into for investments. Your output is supporting investment decisions, so brevity & clarity are as important as finding the facts and summarizing on short notice.
Some project "thesis fields" are more long term (2-3 weeks), and you will manage your own time, and some will be supporting "live deals" (investments the fund is considering) and will be rushed. Both require a lot of reading, research, interviews with experienced/expert people from the field, general data gathering, writing, and documenting the insights and conclusions.
Examples of "thesis field writings" we have done are:

Character traits
As the fund grows and team, you might lead the insight and research team or specialize in a few areas - or you might want to move more towards external communication. The role is not planned to become an investment role.
Pale Blue Dot is open to applications from all sections of society. We believe that you should be fit for the role, motivated, and experienced enough, regardless of ethnicity, belief or religion, family structure, sexual orientation or gender identity, or anything else that makes you, you.
