Senior ESG Expert

Location: Rotterdam, The Netherlands 

Salacia simplifies environmental and social impact tracking for companies and investors. Our Software-as-a-Service platform serves as a central ESG Data hub, that enables our clients to effectively track, manage and report on their impact. It provides them with strategic management information, that they need to make their companies future proof.  We are continuously improving our product to seamlessly fit our increasing client needs and changing legislation. You’ll help improve and scale our product by delivering an excellent customer experience and contributing fresh ideas for innovation. In a constantly evolving market, this requires not only talent, but also a mindset of curiosity, creativity and – as we say in Rotterdam – ‘getting things done’.

Do you have what it takes to become our newest team member?  

Do you see the ways that we need our reefs just like our trees along the shore? And if it knows to help, half of what we breathe in for ourselves, is out of sight and on the ocean floor. Oh, how much is left to learn

– Ziggy Alberts

What You Will Be Doing 

You will play a vital role in helping our clients understand, manage, and improve their environmental and social performance. Working closely with your team members, data engineers and developers, you’ll support the full onboarding and data integration process for our key clients. This includes everything from determining the scope and analysing data to selecting relevant emission factors, running calculations, and visualizing results that drive real impact. You will also be responsible for digging into and making sense of all data necessary to measure the sustainability impacts of our clients.  

Your close collaboration with clients and strong data skills will also allow you to drive innovation. You’ll deliver input to improve and scale our product and services. Think about developing new features like forecasting, scenario modelling, QA checks, or improved export functions. 

Finally, you will be an integral member of our highly motivated, dynamic and fun team! And you will be part of the B Corp community. 

In short: you’ll make our clients happy, and the planet a little better 🌱
