About CarbonChain
The fight against Climate Change is evolving rapidly. Climate tech is changing. The first wave was reporting. The next is treating carbon the way companies treat money: as a way to decide what to buy, who to sell to, and which incentives to claim. Around the world, carbon is becoming a condition of trade. Border taxes, free allocations, green premiums, cheaper capital. It looks a lot like the post-war rebuild: governments put capital and tax incentives on the table, and the companies that could keep the books moved first. The missing piece then was bookkeeping. The missing piece now is the same, carbon accounting. CarbonChain is that bookkeeping. We turn messy, real-world supply-chain data into numbers a trader, a sustainability lead, or a CFO will actually use. We want people who are agents of change, who feel the impact of climate change and know there is no way around it to create a better future for every being. People who know the customer is the truth of how a company thrives. People who treat data as the fuel for how fast society can change. People who use AI to accelerate the cause for good by working through an AI lens first to automate repetitive tasks and analyse data. Finally, people who enjoy working with people.
Our Product
We help the world's largest commodity producers and traders measure and cut emissions, with verified primary data where we can get it and defensible defaults where we cannot. The platform turns operational and supplier files into decision-grade carbon and compliance insight: sourcing, CBAM, product and corporate footprints, reporting customers and regulators will stand behind. We organise carbon accounting around the user in four contexts at once:
- Immediate:the tools in front of them
- Internal:how they work with colleagues
- External:how they work with suppliers and customers
- Societal:how they work with society, governments, and disclosing bodies
The data we hold is only useful if it makes all four of those jobs easier.

What You'll Do
Executive support
- Our leadership travels often and keeps a full diary. Own making that manageable: sharp calendar judgement, end-to-end travel coordination (itineraries, accommodation, contingency plans), and the instinct to protect their time without being asked.
- Support inbox management, correspondence, and follow-ups, and act as a reliable point of contact between leadership and internal or external partners.
- Handle expense reporting and reconciliation accurately and on time.
- Prepare and coordinate materials for leadership, board, or all-hands meetings: agendas, pre-reads, minutes, and follow-up on action items.
- Track action items, deadlines, and workflows across ongoing projects, so nothing falls through when priorities shift.
- Spot friction before it becomes a problem, and fix the process behind it, not just the one instance.
- Handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion, as standard.
Workplace experience and culture
- Serve as the primary point of contact for our Camden office: employees
nd guests, with a warm and professional welcome.
- Make our Camden office a place people want to come into: weekly catering, a stocked snacks section, and the everyday moments that build a team.
- Run our offsites. Keep the leadership team's workshops and room bookings sorted so their time together isn't wasted on logistics.
- Support internal communications and culture initiatives, and look for opportunities to improve the day-to-day experience of the office.
Office operations and administration
- Own the day-to-day running of the office: supplies, equipment,...
