About SWEEP

Sweep is a sustainability data management platform. Though our primary focus is on environmental action, Sweep supports clients with all ESG goals, including waste reduction, water usage, biodiversity impacts, social equity and transparency in governance.

We’re building a business that’s good for everyone, including society and the planet. That’s why we have B-Corp status and are an entreprise à mission, with our own committee that helps us keep to our manifesto.

We’re committed to building an inclusive company, with a diverse group of talented people who all feel valued, feel like themselves, and thrive.

Sweep is hiring a Platform & Finance Sustainability Expert to help our finance and insurance customers implement our extra-financial data management platform, track their carbon and ESG metrics, and drive impactful sustainability initiatives.

This role combines onboarding and implementation of our customers, providing technical support to partners, and contributing to knowledge-sharing resources, all while collaborating with a passionate team to create a sustainable future.In this key role, you will be the primary contact for many of Sweep’s diverse and ambitious finance and insurance clients.

You will lead the customer training, the implementation process, to ensure smooth project delivery, and coordinate efforts with our partners to meet customer needs effectively.

Ok, sounds promising. What will I be doing?

As a Platform & Finance Sustainability Expert, your responsibilities will span across three key areas:

1. Sustainability Expertise & Platform Implementation 🌍

  • Help a diverse range of customers onboard and implement Sweep to track their carbon emissions, ESG metrics, fulfill their voluntary and legal reporting requirements, and take action on their impact.
  • Work with customers either directly in 1:1 sessions or by providing technical support to our implementation consulting partners to drive platform adoption and autonomy.
  • Lead project implementation and establish alignment with customer expectations, especially around our product.  Ensure that the client’s product feedback and challenges are logged, understood, communicated. Share best practices and offer expert guidance to help.

2.Customer Success & Knowledge Sharing 👫

Our success depends on our customers achieving their sustainability goals and taking meaningful action. Customer care and empowerment are at the heart of this role.

You will:

  • Contribute to the continuous development and refinement of our onboarding and implementation approach.
  • Provide expertise to develop enablement materials, such as guides and training resources.
  • Share your sustainability and platform knowledge with customers, team members, and the wider business (sales, product, and more) through webinars, articles, and thought leadership content.

3. Team Collaboration & Advocacy 🌱

Collaboration is key to our success, and this role requires active engagement with both internal teams and external stakeholders.

You will :

  • Actively participate in team meetings, contributing ideas and insights to achieve shared goals.
  • Support Sweep-hosted events and promote sustainability initiatives, both internally and externally.
  • Serve as a trusted resource for customers and colleagues, addressing challenges proactively and identifying solutions.

That sounds just right for me. What do I need to bring?

Glad you asked. This is who we’re looking for:

Qualifications

  • You bring a minimum of 2-4 years experience in sustainability—whether in-house or as a consultant
  • You have an appetite for data-related projects, experience in a technical environment or SaaS
  • Experience in delivering training to a professional audience is a plus
  • A strong understanding of climate change, carbon accounting, ESG standards, and sustainability overall and the ability to speak the same language as our finance and insurance customers (especially when it comes to their specific requirements in the sector)
  • Experience supporting organisations with TCFD, SFDR, CDP, GRI, PCAF and other such disclosure frameworks/guidance and/or developing actionable transition plan, emission reduction roadmaps and/or developing science-based targets.
  • Fluent English is mandatory

Qualities

  • A hands-on problem solver, self-motivated with a glass half-full attitude
  • You’re an empathetic team player that is great at building lasting relationships
  • You're a clear communicator : You can explain complex sustainability concepts in a way that’s accessible and actionable.
  • You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to share ideas
  • You take initiative and always aim for high-quality solutions
  • You care deeply about creating a sustainable future and are excited to help organizations achieve their climate goals

Copy that. And what’s in it for me?

You will be joining an exciting young business that has the humble ambition to change the world. With a proven track record in starting companies, we’re planning to hit the ground running and have an impact fast. Joining this journey right at the beginning allows you to really help shape our path.

Our hybrid work model, with hiring focussed around our head offices in Paris, London and Montpellier, allows us to balance our personal and professional lives while staying connected and engaged with colleagues and clients.

We’re big believers in creating successful businesses that are good for everyone, including society and the planet. That’s why we have a B Corporation status.

We think this will be the ride of our lives. And maybe yours, too.
