An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level Sustainability Consultant to shape the future of AgriTech in Cambridge.
Farming is under pressure to cut emissions, use less water and produce more food from the same land, and the data and advisory tools that make that possible are being built right now.
This growing AgriTech company, based in Cambridge, is one of the start-ups doing that building.

Here's what you'll be doing: Assess the environmental footprint of farming operations and translate findings into practical recommendations clients will actually use Build and maintain carbon and resource-use models that feed directly into product and client reporting Run site visits and client workshops across the UK, gathering data and building trust with growers who've heard a lot of empty promises before Write clear, evidence-backed sustainability reports for clients, investors and regulators Work with the product team to shape new tools, since your field insight will directly inform what gets built next Track emerging UK and EU agricultural sustainability policy and flag what it means for clients before it catches them out Here are the skills you'll need: A degree in environmental science, agriculture, sustainability or a related field, plus a few years applying it in practice Working knowledge of carbon accounting methodologies and sustainability reporting frameworks (GHG Protocol, SBTi, or similar) Comfortable with data.
You don't need to be an engineer, but spreadsheets, basic analysis and spotting a dodgy number shouldn't faze you Strong written communication.
You'll be explaining technical findings to farmers, executives and regulators, often in the same week Genuine interest in agriculture and food systems, not just sustainability in the abstract Comfortable with ambiguity.
