About Global ClimateX
Global ClimateX is a UK-based climate technology company building trusted infrastructure for high-integrity carbon markets.
We help organisations understand and manage their carbon impact through an integrated offering spanning carbon measurement, climate consulting and access to high-integrity carbon credits.
Our platform and advisory services support SMEs, corporates, financial institutions and other organisations seeking to take credible climate action while navigating an increasingly complex carbon market.
Our mission is simple: to bring greater transparency, integrity and confidence to carbon markets and make credible climate action more accessible to organisations globally.
The Role
We are looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Business Development Executive to help grow Global ClimateX’s client base and commercial partnerships.
This is a hands-on business development role for someone who enjoys identifying opportunities, speaking with decision-makers and turning conversations into commercial relationships.
You will work closely with the leadership and sustainability teams to develop new business across our key offerings, including:
- Carbon accounting and emissions measurement
- Sustainability and climate consulting
- Carbon credit procurement and offsetting
- Access to high-integrity carbon projects
- Corporate climate and ESG solutions
- Strategic partnerships
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and prospect potential corporate clients across relevant sectors.
- Conduct outbound business development through calls, email, LinkedIn and networking.
- Engage senior decision-makers including sustainability, ESG, procurement, finance and executive teams.
- Qualify prospective clients and understand their sustainability and carbon-related requirements.
- Arrange and participate in client meetings, presentations and demonstrations.
- Develop opportunities from initial contact through to proposal and commercial close.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of prospective clients.
- Identify strategic partnerships and new routes to market.
- Support responses to corporate opportunities, RFPs and tenders.
- Work with our sustainability specialists to develop appropriate solutions for prospective clients.
- Maintain accurate records of leads, conversations and opportunities.
- Represent Global ClimateX at relevant industry events, conferences and networking opportunities.
- Monitor market developments and identify emerging commercial opportunities within sustainability and carbon markets.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Commercially minded and motivated by achieving results.
- Confident approaching and speaking with new businesses and senior decision-makers.
- A strong communicator with excellent relationship-building skills.
- Proactive, organised and comfortable taking ownership of a sales pipeline.
- Able to understand a client’s needs and translate them into commercial opportunities.
- Comfortable working within an entrepreneurial, growing business.
- Interested in sustainability, climate technology and carbon markets.
Previous experience in B2B business development, sales, sustainability, ESG, consulting, financial services, technology or environmental markets would be advantageous.
Knowledge of carbon markets is desirable but not essential — training and support can be provided.
What We Offer
This is an opportunity to join an ambitious climate-tech company at an exciting stage of growth and play a direct role in developing its commercial footprint.
You will gain:
- Direct exposure to the rapidly developing carbon and sustainability markets.
- Opportunity to work with businesses and institutions across multiple sectors and geographies.
- Close interaction with the Global ClimateX leadership and sustainability teams.
- Significant responsibility and autonomy in developing new opportunities.
- Scope to grow with the company as the commercial team expands.
- Performance-related earning potential.
Who This Role Would Suit
This role would particularly suit someone who enjoys opening doors and creating opportunities.
You do not need to be a carbon-market expert from day one. We are looking for someone with the confidence, persistence and commercial instinct to build relationships and generate business, while our technical team provides the specialist sustainability expertise required to deliver solutions.
If you are commercially ambitious and want to build your career at the intersection of business, technology and climate action, we would like to hear from you.
