Climate X is a purpose-driven climate tech company set to revolutionise a new vertical of climate adaptation software by changing the way the world manages assets, property and infrastructure.

We’ve embarked on an exciting project to build a solution that will let users (individuals with one property or businesses with millions of assets) access our platform to look at future climate pathways to identify

• how their property/assets could be damaged by severe weather events and
• what that damage might do to the asset valuations.

Climate X will save customers 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.

Last, but not least, we’re feeling very strongly about diversity with founders and existing team members coming from a variety of backgrounds. We’re not building just a team but a place of innovation where brains and fun coexist to address the biggest challenge our society is facing now.

You’ll be tasked to design and oversee the implementation of the cloud-based Climate X platform hosting our cutting-edge climate, geospatial and econometrical models.

Customers will be able to access services via an online web portal or API for enterprise clients. You will initially manage a tech sub-contractor and gradually build a superstar team in-house, allowing for the roll-out of derivative products.

The role will be trailblazing, challenging but also super rewarding!
