Working at an early-stage and fast-paced startup such as Cozero means that all your contributions will have a direct impact on the product and by extension on lowering the carbon emissions of companies.

As an early hire of the company, you will also be able to grow together with us and be a very influential part of the company. We are an open-minded team that works closely together in a non-hierarchical manner.

You would join us in our beautiful office in the heart of Berlin, and we offer the possibility of working remotely.

And there is more...

• Joining a dynamic environment that is driven by our core values - Candor, Commitment, Clarity, Collaboration, and Creativity - being driven by impact and highly motivated to make a change for the better
• Participation in the success of the company by having access to a VSOP share plan
• You can join us in our beautiful office in the heart of Berlin or you can work remotely if you are based in Europe. Regular team events and 1-2 offsite events p.a. (summer event & Cozero's closing of the year)
• Being an elementary part of one of the fastest-growing ClimateTech startups in Europe, with critical responsibility and influence on product and overall venture development

What does the interview process look like?

The process follows the same procedure for every candidate: getting to know team members through three to four conversations about Cozero, your experience, and your interests. As part of the process, we usually run through a skills screening (e.g. a coding challenge for a developer, a case challenge for a carbon accounting expert, and a portfolio discussion for a designer). A final reference call with a former colleague/manager of yours gives additional insight into your needs and wishes that we aim to factor in for your personal development plan. We emphasize transparency and the absence of surprise throughout the process.

Kick it off!

We are psyched about getting to know you - send us your CV and a short cover letter for the possibility of joining the Cozero team and shaping the future of digital corporate carbon management!
