About us

Climate X is a purpose-driven technology company, backed by GV (Google Ventures), Western Technologies (early investors in Meta, Google, Palantir), Commerz Ventures, Pale Blue Dot, Deloitte, and other world-class investors. We’re a wonderfully diverse, growing team with physical offices in London and New York City.

Demand for Climate X is growing fast, and we need to build our team! You’ll be at the front of a nascent industry, working as part of a fantastic and diverse team, doing things that you can be proud of. We’re excited to have the opportunity to speak with you during this process.

Our mission

To deepen the understanding of our changing planet and inspire meaningful action.

What we do

• We’re helping the world become more resilient to the impacts of physical climate risks (including floods, fires, storms and more). In doing so, we help drive positive global impact aligned to many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).
• Our team builds cutting-edge, peer-reviewed science (incorporating climate projections, remote sensing data) and translates that into financial impacts (to the value of assets or business disruption linked to failure of critical infrastructure) that our customers in the financial services industry use to identify, manage and mitigate those risks.
• Climate X’s customers include the world’s largest banks, asset managers and insurance companies including CBRE, Standard Chartered, Virgin Money and Federated Hermes, as well as a partnership ecosystem that includes Deloitte, Capgemini and AWS. Combined, they manage over $6.5 trillion of assets.
• Customer’s choose us thanks to our ecosystem of products that help solve real human problems, and drive tangible business benefits to our customers. They love our customer‑centric mindset, as well as our pace of innovation in the market.

The impact you’ll own

As Enterprise Account Executive, you will spearhead revenue growth by developing and executing innovative sales strategies tailored to clients in the financial services and real estate sectors (Risk specific). From initial outreach to onboarding, you'll nurture clients through the sales cycle, leveraging your industry expertise to tailor solutions to their needs.

You will deepen your financial and real estate industry knowledge, build and maintain key client relationships, and represent Climate X at industry events. You will deliver demos of our climate risk platform to potential clients, explaining its value proposition and unique features.

Collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams including sales, marketing, product, and scientific experts, you'll deliver compelling presentations and negotiate agreements that align with our company's objectives.

Essential Skills

• A proven track record in enterprise business development, driving sales revenues, and can demonstrate success managing end‑to‑end, B2B sales cycles and achieving quotas.
• Experience in enterprise sales of a complex product (ideally with Financial Services clients).
• Outstanding relationship management skills, customer obsession and a consultative approach to sales.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to understand complex data and climate models, as well as translate to different audiences, seniority levels and sectors.
• Ability to build relationships across business leadership, technical stakeholders, and users in client organisations.

Desirable Skills

• Working proficiency in English is required, along with working proficiency in German (preferred) and/or French is desirable.
• An understanding of physical risk, stress testing, and other key functions of the Risk function within banking or real estate.
• Passionate about climate change and its impact on the global economy.
• Experience working in a fast‑paced SaaS or technology start‑up.
• Experience with HubSpot (or equivalent CRM tool).
• Knowledge of climate modelling and analytics.
• Fluent in English, additional languages are very helpful.
