ABOUT US

We are a leading global climate risk and analytics provider located in London, UK and New York, US. Earlier this year, we closed Series A led by GV (Google Ventures) and are on a fast trajectory to lead the financial services and asset management industries with our B2E SaaS platform, comprised of three products, Carta, Spectra and Adapt, which resolve customer climate risk challenges across their entire workflows.
We are at a pivotal point in scaling our product offering, expanding our market reach, and refining our product strategy to sustain continued success.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• 3 years relevant industry or post-doctoral experience working on tropical cyclones or extra-tropical cyclones.
• Experience leveraging scientific computing techniques using Python in a cloud/remote environment.
• Strong communication skills with ability to explain complex concepts to a non-technical audience.
• A desire to use scientific expertise to drive real-world impact by understanding client and product needs, and work under tight deadlines to enhance our customer offering.

DESIRABLE SKILLS

Experience in any one of these areas makes you stand out but are not required for the role and if you are passionate and interested in the role we encourage you to apply!

• Experience researching (extra) tropical cyclone impacts and risk.
• Experience working with catastrophe models, particularly for wind based perils.
• Experience with Bayesian statistics and/or Extreme Value Theory for extreme events

QUALIFICATIONS

• PhD or equivalent experience in climate science, hazard modeling or statistical analysis.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Climate Scientist focusing on storms, you’ll work with an interdisciplinary science team, with three other climate scientists, as well as hazard scientists, geospatial experts and loss modellers. Together, we’re building global-scale models to assess the physical risks of climate change. This role is focused on the continual support and development of our storm based hazard models, currently tropical cyclones, storm surge and European extra-tropical cyclones.
We’re seeking an enthusiastic and capable climate scientist with expertise in the modelling of (extra-) tropical cyclones to join the team and support the continual development of our internal hazard models and asses the impact of climate change on the risk posed by these perils.
We work in a commercial environment, so the end product needs to meet a client requirements and this drives our development. However, we want to do be informed by and do good science, and then make this useful for people!
