Join a startup AgriTech company as an ESG Consultant in Washington DC.
Food systems are under pressure, and the investors backing agricultural technology want proof that growth doesn't come at the planet's expense.
This early-stage AgriTech company builds data tools that help farms and supply chains measure their environmental footprint properly, not just tick a box.
The ESG Consultant joining them won't be polishing someone else's framework.
You'll be helping build it.
Here's what you'll be doing: Assess environmental and social impact across the company's AgriTech client base, from soil health data to labour practices in supply chains Draft ESG reports and disclosures that satisfy investors, regulators and the occasional sceptical board member Work directly with the product team to translate sustainability metrics into features farms can actually use Track emerging ESG regulation relevant to agriculture and flag what it means for the business before it becomes a problem Run client workshops explaining ESG scoring in plain terms, no consultant-speak Build out internal ESG tracking tools, since at this size you'll often be the one creating the process, not just following it Here are the skills you'll need: 2 to 4 years' experience in ESG, sustainability consulting or a related analytical role Working knowledge of ESG reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD) and the patience to explain them to people who've never heard of them Comfort with data.
You'll be pulling numbers from messy sources and making sense of them fast Strong written communication.
Reports need to read well, not just score well An interest in agriculture or food systems helps.
You don't need a farming background, but you do need curiosity about how one works Able to work independently in a small team where priorities shift week to week Key perks and benefits: Salary of $51,000 to $65,500, based on experience Equity in the company.
Early hires carry weight here Hybrid working arrangement based in Washington DC, with flexible hours around it A genuine learning and development budget, used however it helps you most Flat structure.
No layers between you and the people making decisions Why pursue a career in AgriTech?
AgriTech is one of the few sectors where sustainability work has real teeth, because farming sits right at the intersection of climate policy, food security and investor pressure.
Washington DC gives an ESG Consultant unusual access to the policy conversations shaping this industry, which makes it a smart base for anyone building a long-term career here.
Good people in this field tend to move quickly, because the problems are real and the data is finally catching up to match them.
