Job description

Intro

As an LCA Consultant at carbmee, you sit at the frontier of product-level carbon intelligence. Life Cycle Assessment is the methodological backbone of how enterprises understand the true environmental cost of what they make, source, and sell. carbmee EIS™ is the platform building a new global standard for doing it at industrial scale - and you are the person who makes it real for our customers.

You will work directly with sustainability leads, R&D engineers, and procurement teams at some of the world's most complex industrial enterprises, helping them move from slow, spreadsheet-based LCA processes to granular, AI-powered product carbon footprints. You combine deep methodological expertise with the ability to translate it into a live software environment - and into clear business decisions.

Your tasks

• Lead end-to-end LCA engagements for enterprise customers - from project scoping and data collection strategies through to final results, interpretation, and reduction roadmap.

• Deploy and configure carbmee EIS™ to automate and scale LCA workflows, including product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations, Scope 3 supply chain data collection, and activity-based modelling.

• Engage directly with customer sustainability, R&D, and procurement teams to understand their product portfolios, data landscapes, and reporting requirements, and design the right LCA approach for their context.

• Support customers in building compliance-ready product footprints for CBAM, CSRD, ISO 14067, and EU Battery Regulation requirements.

• Translate LCA results into clear, executive-ready narratives and actionable decarbonization recommendations that drive real business decisions.

• Troubleshoot methodological challenges on the fly - allocation decisions, data gaps, system boundary questions - and resolve them pragmatically.

• Feed LCA methodology learnings back to carbmee's product team, ensuring the EIS™ platform stays at the cutting edge of carbon accounting best practice.

Customer Value

• Accelerate customers' shift from manual, project-by-project LCA to automated, scalable product carbon footprinting - reducing calculation time by orders of magnitude.

• Enable regulatory compliance by building footprints that meet CBAM, CSRD, and other EU requirements - protecting customers from regulatory and commercial risk.

• Translate complex lifecycle science into clear reduction priorities, helping customers make informed investment decisions in sustainable sourcing, R&D, and process improvement.

• Build deep methodological credibility with customer sustainability and engineering teams, positioning carbmee as their long-term partner for product decarbonization.

• You are the expert that turns carbmee's platform into a genuine competitive advantage for your customers.

Your profile

• Solid grounding in LCA methodology - ISO 14040/14044, GHG Protocol Product Standard, Product Environmental Footprint (PEF), or similar.

• Hands-on experience with LCA databases and tools such as ecoinvent, SimaPro, GaBi, or OpenLCA.

• We hire across all levels - from recent MSc graduates with strong academic LCA foundations to senior practitioners with years of consulting or industry experience.

• Understanding of EU sustainability regulation - CSRD, CBAM, EU Battery Regulation, or ISO 14067 - is a strong plus.

• Ability to translate technical and scientific complexity into clear, compelling communication for non-specialist audiences.

• Comfort operating in a fast-moving software environment and genuine enthusiasm for how AI can transform traditional sustainability work.

• Degree in Environmental Engineering, Industrial Ecology, Chemical Engineering, Sustainability Science, or a related field.

• Fluency in English; German is a plus.

• Passion for sustainability - excited to help the world's largest companies get serious about their product emissions.

• Based in Berlin or Munich.
