At Normative, we're on a mission to accelerate the transition to a net-zero world. We provide science-based carbon accounting software and tailored advice from net-zero experts, empowering companies to reduce their carbon footprints.

About the Role
You will be a core part of Normative’s leadership team, responsible for delivering client value, developing our advisory and data functions, and driving operational excellence. You will lead two teams—Climate Strategy and Sustainability Data Services—with a combined ~40 professionals, each playing a pivotal role in delivering high-integrity, science-based climate solutions to our customers.

The ideal candidate brings a consulting background, with proven success both in selling and scoping complex services and in delivering high-quality, scalable advisory engagements. You are mission-driven, deeply grounded in scientific integrity, and thrive in a cross-functional leadership environment.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with Sales, Product, and Engineering to ensure seamless service integration into our broader platform and customer lifecycle.

• Ensure scientific and ethical rigor across all advisory outputs, including alignment with leading climate standards (GHG Protocol, SBTi, etc.).

• Act as the executive owner of climate services delivery, accountable for customer satisfaction, retention, and upsell performance.

• Deliver accurate operational forecasts for headcount and services; manage budgets responsibly while maintaining high service levels.

• Contribute to executive leadership, helping shape Normative’s strategy, company culture, and long-term growth.

• Represent Normative externally as a subject matter expert and values-driven climate leader.

What you bring

• Significant experience (7+ years) in climate, sustainability, or environmental consulting, including a track record of both business development and delivery ownership.

• Deep understanding of carbon accounting, ESG, or net-zero strategy, with demonstrated commitment to scientific integrity and ethical service delivery.

• Proven success leading and scaling multi-functional teams in a client-facing environment.

• Strong operational acumen with experience forecasting, budgeting, and implementing scalable service delivery models.

• Familiarity with B2B SaaS environments and comfort operating in fast-paced, cross-functional teams.

• Exceptional interpersonal skills, capable of influencing across C-level stakeholders, clients, and technical teams alike.

• A leadership style that is empowering, clear, mission-aligned, and focused on execution and impact.

Key Leadership Characteristics

• Integrity & Accountability – Acts with a strong moral compass and owns outcomes.

• Customer Centricity – Always thinking in terms of how to drive client value and trust.

• Strategic Execution – Balances long-term vision with short-term delivery.

• Team Empowerment – Coaches, mentors, and creates space for talent to grow.

We also believe you enjoy working in an environment with typical challenges of a growing company, asking a lot of questions and learning new things. At Normative we believe that collaboration with teammates is essential and you’ll thrive if you like to explain and discuss technical approaches with other engineers.
