  • Knowledge of machine learning and NLP
  • History of integrating business needs into design

What the job involves

  • As a Data Scientist at Asset Impact, you will develop and manage complex data models, support product development, and maintain direct client engagement. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our data offerings remain accurate, impactful, and aligned with our clients’ needs
  • This role also requires supporting quality assurance (QA) processes and contributing to research initiatives within our AI product development
  • Data Modeling: Develop and maintain data science models and algorithms for key industry sectors, such as power, aluminum, and cement, ensuring data accuracy and applicability to client needs. Sectors may vary depending on project requirements
  • Product Development: Collaborate with the product team to integrate data-driven insights into product features and contribute to roadmap planning

  • AI is a fast-growing climate data company, so your role will evolve. This means you will have opportunities to suggest, explore, and develop new tools and insights that can help AI achieve its impact-driven mission
  • It also means that your role and responsibilities will be driven by the growth of AI and your skills and interests. Likewise, besides your main focus, you can be involved in other activities such as building company culture, supporting recruitment, liaising with external stakeholders (e.g., financial institutions, research institutions, data providers, etc.), and/or helping our technical efforts

Our take

The international community has set a target for net zero emissions by 2050, but to make that happen, businesses need reliable data on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. GRESB was founded in 2009 to provide ESG data on business assets based on self-reported data, and has since become regarded as the gold standard for investment managers to assess their ESG performance.

GRESB is the only ESG framework designed for real estate, but some users have expressed dissatisfaction with some aspects of its framework - for example, that it favours new builds over retrofitting older buildings, with companies operating in Asia (where buildings tend to be newer) achieving higher ESG ratings. As a result, it faces some competition from ESG management software packages like Rio, but GRESB has taken note of these complaints and is working to tighten its methodology to adapt.

GRESB has had over a decade of growth and now covers over $8 trillion in assets, more than doubling since 2019. It is continuing to develop its ESG model, through actions such as acquiring companies like Asset Resolution which have developed tools for acquiring data from hard-to-measure sectors. A recent investment from General Atlantic's BeyondNetZero fund will allow GRESB to expand its work on transition finance, fixed income, the REAL Solutions family of services, and more.
