Data Analyst

Do you want to work on the most pressing problem of our generation? 

We’re building the infrastructure for the net zero transition, and we’re looking for brilliant engineers, designers, and data scientists who want to help define a low carbon future.

Decarbonizing the economy requires a granular, real-time view of where emissions come from and how they might be reduced. We build software to automate the carbon footprinting of supply chains. Banks, traders, and manufacturers use our product to tame the complexity of international supply networks, identify the most carbon-intensive parts, and find greener alternatives. We were part of the Y Combinator Summer 2020 batch and have secured backing from the UK government’s innovation arm, InnovateUK, the NatWest accelerator and the London Business School Incubator.

To join Carbon Chain, you’ll be a keen technologist who loves to learn from others. Our company is made up of passionate people with expertise ranging from oil refining to deep learning. Between us we’ve run Amazon’s European supply chain, built JustEat’s corporate meal delivery platform, and monitored industrial emissions with satellites for Al Gore. We’ve got MBAs and PhDs but we know that there’s a lot we don’t know, and we’re hoping you can help fill that gap.

What will you be responsible for at CarbonChain?

As the world wakes up to the reality of climate change and the need to decarbonize, there’s a pressing need to understand the carbon intensity of every activity in the economy. Your job as Data Analyst is to help build the datasets and dashboards that help our clients make sense of their emissions.

We’re a small team of versatile technologists and we don’t believe in a siloed approach. Our data team sits side by side with software engineers, making sure that we have the data we need to provide the experience our customers want. You’ll collaborate closely with data scientists to make sure your insights can be deployed to clients at scale. You’ll work hand in hand with our domain experts, and have the chance to present to clients if that’s something that excites you.

You can expect to have:

• Ownership of your projects
• Support in deepening your technical skills, including coding
• The ability to make real changes with tangible business value

In a typical day, you might:

• Do some research to understand the major sources of emissions in the production of batteries
• Help a data scientist clean up a data set of soy emissions to load into our database
• Answer a client’s question about which suppliers they should avoid to reduce their emissions from buying steel

Our only must-haves are possessing a hunger to solve business challenges using technology, the ability to build close relationships with your team, and the right to work in the UK.

Which tools, technologies, and processes will you work with?

We don’t expect our analysts to write code, but it’s great if they want to learn! 

We require:

• Very strong analytical skills
• Excellent data analysis and visualisation with at least one tool of your choice
• Ability to engage stakeholders throughout the business
• Experience or appetite in building dashboards for clients, using tools such as PowerBI, Tableau, Looker etc.
• A passion to learn about complex real world problems, such as how to smelt iron without using coal, and ways to reduce emissions from bulk carrier ships

Our team would be a great place for somebody who is strong in Excel and with a passion for helping organizations cut carbon. Much of the work you do will subsequently be incorporated into the product by our data scientists and engineers.

What we require from applicants

• Right to work in the UK and willingness to come to London office 2+ days a week
• 1+ years of commercial Data Analysis experience
• A passion for environmental issues
• An obsession with getting the numbers right
• The grit and energy to work in an early stage startup

What we’re offering

• Competitive salary + generous equity package
• Flexible working hours - we encourage regular breaks and being AFK (away from keyboard) to support your wellbeing
• Flexible working location (we like to meet in the office couple of times every week)
• £500 work from home set up budget
• £1000 annual development allowance for you to spend on developing your current skills and learning new things
• Tech equipment of your choice
• Team lunch on Wednesdays, and frequent pub trips
• Pact coffee and snacks of your choice in the office
• 26 days holiday + bank holidays 

We're striving to build a diverse team and we would love to hear from applicants from backgrounds less frequently represented in technology, be that in terms of gender, race, or professional background.

If you think your skills and experience match what we’re looking for and you’d like to join a Carbon Tech industry unicorn, please get in touch!
