The Company

Sightline Climate accelerates the deployment of climate tech solutions through industry leading data, analytics, and research. Sightline’s subscription intelligence platform gives investors, corporates, and governments the insights they need to confidently build and finance the new climate economy. Sightline Climate also produces CTVC, the industry-leading newsletter read by 60,000 climate leaders.

We launched our core product in November 2023 and it has gone from success to success. We are now looking to develop it further by adding even more innovative tools and AI-enabled solutions that empower Sightline clients to make informed decisions in the climate tech space.

The Role

Our data team of 10 currently consists of a mix of data researchers, along with manual and automated quality assurance (QA) leads. The team also works closely with Sightline engineering to ingest data across thousands of sources and use AI to automate data extraction and structuring.

We’re looking for a Data Manager to join our growing team. This is a very hands-on, delivery-focused role in a scale-up environment. To be successful you will need to be a self-starter, obsessed with data accuracy and expansion, detail-oriented, and committed to leading by example.
