About Green Project Technologies

Green Project is a SaaS-based carbon accounting and ESG data management platform, explicitly designed to support organizations earlier in their sustainability journey engage with, and improve upon, their environmental performance data. Under increasing pressure from regulators, investors, customers and employees, businesses—especially small- and medium-sized businesses—are becoming empowered to calculate and report on their GHG emissions and other key ESG KPIs, however, many lack the resourcing, budget, and expertise to stand up a data-driven ESG program in-house.

Using Green Project’s platform, businesses of any size can begin tracking and monitoring their sustainability data via our streamlined onboarding processes, flexible data collection tools & automation, and accessible analytics & reporting features. Ultimately, our platform provides the intuitive launchpad that many companies need to begin tracking and reducing their corporate footprint, then consistently strengthen their commitment to decarbonization as their ESG ownership, education, and accountability grows over time.

Green Project Technologies is part of ACT Group, who is the world’s leading provider of market-based sustainability solutions with over 70 products in 40 plus countries including Amsterdam, Shanghai, New York, Paris, Tokyo and Singapore.

About the role

Join Green Project as a Carbon Accounting Associate (Japan Market) and be a part of a fast-growing, remote-first climate tech company that's empowering businesses of all ESG maturities to kickstart or deepen their commitment to sustainability. As a crucial member of our Customer Success team, you'll be at the forefront of both (i) externally defining, quantifying, analyzing and reporting on our client’s GHG footprints, and (ii) internally bolstering our methodological rigor, breadth of disclosure, and data management processes.

• Guide customers through supplier engagement campaigns — helping them mobilise their supply chains to collect emissions and decarbonisation data on the Green Project platform

• Build strong relationships with sustainability, procurement, and ESG stakeholders at customer organisations
