Job description:
Ratings Data Analysts carry out the day-to-day data collection and analysis that is necessary to support BeZero’s ratings process. This involves sourcing data from project documents, feeding this back to Ratings Analysts and Scientists to inform specific project ratings, developing data validation processes to ensure data integrity, and identifying correlations and patterns in large datasets to uncover trends that support the rating process. Analysts will also play an important role in identifying new data sources, and improving our collection processes to make them more robust and efficient.
Ratings Data Analysts will also work closely with the Ratings and Data Engineering teams contributing to larger scale ratings research.
Responsibilities:
Understand the Voluntary Carbon Market and the BeZero ratings framework.
Understand and keep up to date with the BeZero Carbon Ratings methodology, and work with our Carbon Credit scientists to help rate carbon offset projects.
Support the consolidation of analysis for data and ratings research topics and curate research databases.
Extract information from carbon project documentation, methodology documentation and developers and feed this information and further data analysis back into the rest of the Carbon Ratings team and our client-facing platform.
Work with our Data Engineering and Science teams to create and maintain manual and automated data collection and validation processes for our carbon offset rating process, and ensure collected data is of high quality. This will require the use of programming languages like SQL and Python.
Contribute to our overall data strategy and identify opportunities for collecting new data sources to improve our ratings process.
Enable the release of new analytics and research features to be displayed on the platform or on external ratings content such as blogs, material for webinars.
Our ideal candidate:
You care deeply about the climate and carbon markets and are excited by solutions for decarbonising our economy.

You are a highly collaborative individual with a strong sense of ownership who wants to solve problems that drive business value.

What we’ll offer:
Competitive salary in a rapidly growing VC-backed start-up.
25 days leave (with additional time off between Christmas and New Year, and for your birthday).
Benefits package covering private medical insurance, dental, critical illness cover, income protection, life assurance and medical cash plan.
