About Fidenso:
Fidenso is an impact startup providing software data analytics and visualisation tools to SMEs and governmental organisations so that they can measure their carbon footprint in real-time, offset it intelligently and ultimately progress to becoming a carbon-neutral business. We are female-founded, Irish-owned and sustainably run. We use innovative data engineering techniques and equivalent carbon emissions (CO2e) expertise to support our clients to cost-effectively reduce their emissions and ultimately to reach their climate targets. Our mission is to enable entrepreneurs and business owners to grow the next generation of carbon-zero companies, to supply consumers and investors with the option of supporting such companies and ultimately to reduce net global equivalent carbon emissions by 10 million tonnes per year.

What You Bring:
- Experience (or career interest) in the following preferred: life-cycle analysis of greenhouse-gas emissions, carbon sequestration, data analysis.
- Fluent in both written and spoken English. German or French would be an advantage.
- Organised, meticulous, creative. The applicant must be prepared and excited to contribute to weekly brainstorming sessions and to immediately follow-up by reaching out to customers to test new ideas or finding new customers to test on.
- Self-directed and capable of taking initiative without supervision.
