Life Cycle Analysis Specialist

Isometric is a carbon removal registry, verification service, and science platform. Our mission is to avert climate disaster by ensuring carbon removal scales responsibly and fast.

We're growing quickly, but we’re deliberate and intentional about hiring people who contribute to our unique culture. Our team is smart, meticulous and courageous—but warm, kind and supportive too.

We’re led by an experienced CEO who previously co-founded Onfido, where he scaled the AI-based verification company from $1 million to $100 million in revenue in six years. Our science team is led by a biogeochemist from ARPA-E, MIT, and Columbia. Our technology team includes builders from companies like Amazon, Meta, Shopify, Palantir, and Intercom. And we’re backed by some of the world’s most recognised investors.

Working here will be unlike any job you've had before. Join us if you're ready to take on a career-defining role.

Outcomes you’ll be responsible for

• Expanding knowledge of the science underpinning life cycle assessment analysis (LCA), and applying it to carbon removal verification.

• Ensuring that the science underlying the Isometric platform  is internally consistent and in line with the latest research in LCA.

• Building an early science team culture that values scientific rigour, pragmatism, and ecosystem building through mentoring your teammates or influencing how we interface with external experts and stakeholders.

Tasks you might do

• Validate and/or develop LCA frameworks applied to CDR projects.

• Collaborate with academics, national labs, and industry players on the latest in LCA research and technology development.

• Evaluate and/or develop protocols across various CDR pathways to assess how LCA frameworks are implemented to quantify net negativity and uncertainty.

Aptitudes you’ll display

• An interdisciplinary technical background in creating and evaluating LCA frameworks that you have applied or can apply to CDR processes, which you may have obtained through the process of earning a PhD degree or equivalent and through additional academic and/or industry experience.

• Eagerness to learn new things and to teach others about the science of LCA. We are science-driven and are building technology that relies on the clear communication of science concepts, both internally and externally.

• Drive to urgently solve big challenges that have no obvious answers today. We’re doing novel things that no one person knows the answer to today.

• Bringing good energy and humility into how you show up. It’s a tough problem but we can’t give up.
