Step into this Climate and Sustainability Consultant role and build something that matters in AgriTech.
Food production is under pressure to cut emissions while feeding more people with fewer resources, and the businesses solving that problem sit at the sharp end of climate policy and farming reality.
This Manchester-based AgriTech startup builds tools that help growers and supply chains measure and reduce their environmental footprint.
A Climate and Sustainability Consultant joining now won't be polishing an existing process.
You'll be helping to write it.
Here's what you'll be doing: Assess the carbon footprint and environmental impact of agricultural clients, from farm-level operations through to supply chain logistics Build sustainability reports and roadmaps that clients can actually act on, not shelve Translate emerging climate regulation and reporting standards into practical guidance for AgriTech partners Work directly with the product team to shape how sustainability data gets captured, scored and presented Run client workshops and site visits across the North West, gathering data and building trust in equal measure Track emerging methodologies in soil carbon, water use and biodiversity metrics, and bring the useful ones into the business Here are the skills you'll need: A degree or equivalent experience in environmental science, agriculture, sustainability or a related field Two to four years' experience in climate consultancy, sustainability advisory or a related AgriTech role Working knowledge of carbon accounting frameworks (GHG Protocol, SBTi or similar) Comfort with ambiguity.
Early-stage companies rewrite the brief often, and you'll need to keep pace Strong written communication.
You'll be explaining technical findings to farmers, investors and engineers in the same week A genuine interest in how food gets produced, not just how it's reported on Key perks and benefits: £34,000 to £45,000, depending on experience Equity in a growing AgriTech business, so you share in what you help build Hybrid working from the Manchester base, with flexible hours around it A proper learning and development budget, not a token gesture Flat structure.
No six layers of approval between you and a decision Why pursue a career in AgriTech?
AgriTech is one of the few sectors where climate work has teeth, because the regulation, the investor pressure and the consumer demand are all pulling in the same direction at once.
Manchester has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a dense cluster of food, farming and climate tech businesses that makes it easier to build a career without relocating every two years.
Good people move fast here, because the problems are real and the companies solving them are still small enough to notice who's doing the work.
