Jobbeschreibung

Climate Risk Analyst and Client Manager (80-100%)

CLIMADA Technologies is a global physical risk analytics company supporting global and

local corporations, financial institutions and governmental bodies to quantify and price

extreme weather losses and identify where resilience investment pays off.

Our technology is built on the open-source modelling framework CLIMADA, a global

multi-hazard model originally developed within the Weather & Climate Risk research group

at ETH Zurich. We cover all acute and chronic perils impacting asset values and operations.

By combining these hazard sets with asset- and vulnerability-level data, we generate

physical risk analytics which capture both direct damage and indirect (business interruption,

supply chain) impacts comparable consistently across regions and sectors.

The output feeds into robust risk assessments and global reporting requirements taking

industry-specific financial risk metrics and scores into consideration. In addition, our

technology provides a cost/benefit perspective on bespoke climate adaptation opportunities,

covering a variety of relevant adaptation pathways.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced, client-focused professional to lead and grow the

relationships at the heart of our business — owning the client experience from onboarding

through project delivery to renewal and expansion, across our corporate and institutional

clients in finance, real estate, energy, industry and the public sector. Working closely with our

technology team, you will ensure client projects are scoped realistically and delivered to a

high standard.

This role requires technical depth in climate risk, data analytics and Python-based workflows

to contribute directly to the analysis as well as to hold credible conversations with technical

clients. You will also prepare technical documentation and climate risk reports, communicate

results through clear visualisations, presentations and recommendations, and support clients

in understanding, using and interpreting climate risk analytics by translating complex

The role should combine scientific rigour and strong technical expertise with a clear focus on

ensuring that client needs and project learning feed back into methodology and product

development.

What you bring:

Several years of experience in client management, account management or senior

client-facing consulting, ideally in a technical, data-driven or financial services

MSc in climate science, meteorology, environmental data science, geophysics,

geoinformatics economics, engineering, or another relevant quantitative discipline.

Professional or academic experience in physical climate risk, natural hazard

modelling, climate impact assessment, environmental data analysis or a related field.

Advanced proficiency in Python and strong data analytics skills, including statistical

and machine learning techniques for large, complex or heterogeneous datasets, and

experience developing robust, reproducible analytical workflows.

A track record of managing complex client relationships, including commercial

conversations around scoping, renewals and expansion.

Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical results into clear insights

for non-technical audiences.

Experience with any of the following would be a plus:

Climate risk reporting frameworks and regulatory requirements.

Financial impact modelling, vulnerability modelling or catastrophe risk modelling.

Cloud-based analytical workflows, APIs or scalable data-processing environments.

Prior experience scaling a client success or account management function within a

start-up or scale-up.

Your impact:

Own and grow strategic relationships across our corporate and institutional client

base, acting as the escalation point for client needs and expectations.

Manage and deliver client projects covering physical climate risk analytics, technical

documentation and climate risk reporting — from standard assessments on our

delta-climateTM platform to bespoke analyses and new methodologies tailored to

specific client questions, sectors, assets and decision-making contexts.

Analyse large climate, hazard, exposure, vulnerability and financial datasets using

Python and geospatial tools, and translate results and uncertainties into clear

visualisations, presentations and reports that help clients interpret climate risks and

identify relevant reporting, risk-management and adaptation actions.

Identify and pursue renewal, upsell and expansion opportunities within existing

accounts, working closely with business development on commercial strategy.

Build, structure and, over time, lead a client management function, including defining

processes, tools and ways of working as the company grows.

We would like to offer you:

The opportunity to work with a highly motivated and collaborative team of specialist

who care about the planet and are committed to developing meaningful climate risk

solutions.

Meaningful work with direct relevance for climate resilience, adaptation and corporate

decision-making.

Responsibility and autonomy in a varied role that combines climate science, data

analytics and methodological development with direct client collaboration, and the

opportunity to shape our methodologies, products and client solutions.

A flexible and dynamic working environment with room for creativity, initiative and

professional growth.

Our Team

We are an international, interdisciplinary, and diverse team with complementary capabilities,

adept in scaling technologies, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, climate and weather

science, data science, natural catastrophe modeling, and risk planning and management.
