About Us
We are a climate-tech startup established in 2021. We provide electricity grid modelling software to accelerate energy planning in emerging markets and developing economies. Today’s tools are costly, closed, and hard to use, with modelling studies taking months or years when they should take weeks or days. We designed Scenario Builder to meet this challenge, so energy planners and investors can make better decisions, faster.
Our funding currently comes from a range of US and EU foundations, including the Quadrature Climate Foundation, Google.org, the Sequoia Climate Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the European Climate Foundation.
At TransitionZero, we understand that diversity is an essential component of a successful team, whether that be diverse ways of thinking, personal or professional backgrounds, or skills. We aim to be the most talented non-profit in our vertical through our culture of ownership and adaptability.
About The Role
The purpose of this role is to keep our communications and marketing engine running at full speed. You’ll sit at the intersection of marketing, storytelling, and design to build TransitionZero’s brand and drive adoption of Scenario Builder. To do this you’ll own the content calendar, social channels, website updates, and day-to-day asset creation while partnering closely with insight analysts, modellers, engagement leads, and the product team.
While experience in the energy transition or climate space is a plus, we also welcome candidates with backgrounds in finance/business journalism, or data-driven storytelling.
This is a hybrid role, based out of our London office, reporting to the Head of Content.
