Job description

About Carbometrix

Founded in 2020 by Corinne Bach, Christian Couturier, and Marie David, Carbometrix guides private market professionals and their portfolio companies in effective decarbonisation.

We have developed a custom platform that enables our clients to collect and visualize their financial and extra-financial data, and to monitor their carbon performance over time.

This technology is enhanced by the expertise of our Climate Consultants, who design tailored climate strategies, build decarbonisation plans, and support our clients throughout their projects.

Since inception, over 120 financial institutions have trusted Carbometrix to support their climate journey.

Working at Carbometrix means actively contributing to the climate transition, as part of a committed, ambitious, and collaborative team.

Job description

During the first weeks of the internship, you will be trained on the principles of carbon accounting and climate strategy in different sectors (intellectual services, infrastructure, industry, investment funds), as well as on how our platform operates.

The internship missions will be divided into two main categories:

1. Support our clients in their climate journey, in collaboration with the Climate Consultants:

• Computing their carbon footprint: from preparing data collection questionnaire, through data processing to calculating the GHG emissions of a company or project
• Designing emission reduction trajectories: defining emission reduction targets and building decarbonisation roadmaps based on precise actions
• Contributing to consulting missions with ad hoc tasks (depending on what missions have been sold) : market research, data analysis, competitor benchmark, producing impactful deliverables…

2. Contribute to the continuous improvement of our internal processes and knowledge:

• Enhancing our platform's computation efficiency and reliability: you will update and research emissions factors, carbon footprint reports, calculation methods, platform operation
• Non-standard projects: we regularly do specific projects for some customers which fall outside of our standard offer (avoided emissions of a specific/new technology, creating new climate indicators, etc.). You would contribute to those projects that increase our expertise.

Given the period (first semester of 2027), please note that most of the projects will likely concern carbon footprint computation.

Preferred experience

• M1 or M2 in an engineering school or university. Pure business school profiles won't be selected.
• You have a strong interest in climate and sustainability topics
• You are eager to learn about climate change from both a technical and strategic perspective
• You have some coding basic skills: reading/writing simple code, understanding simple code structure (loops, conditions, etc. )
• You have strong analytical skills and enjoy working on complex systems
• You are fluent in English (spoken and written). Speaking/learning French would make integration easier.
• You are autonomous, proactive, and thrive in a collaborative environment

Recruitment process

• Introductory call with a Senior Climate Consultant - 30 minutes (online)
• Interview with 1 or 2 Senior Climate Consultant(s), including a case study - 60 minutes (on-site if possible)

Compensation

• 1200€ / month
• Lunch vouchers: 13€ / day
• Reimbursement of half of public transport fare
