Role
Who you are
- A seasoned professional with experience working with large corporations to implement decarbonisation and net-zero pathways
- An empathetic leader with a proven track record of building empowered teams in a fast paced agile environment?
- Pragmatic and user-centric mindset
- Strong people management and leadership skills with the ability to mentor, coach, and develop team members
- Experience in planning, coordinating, and delivering technical projects
- Experience in driving technical and operational excellence within teams
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills
- Strong technical background, with hands-on experience in software development (eg. React, Typescript, Laravel, Python, PHP)

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a compassionate and experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Onboarding Squad
- As an Engineering Manager at Plan A, your main responsibilities will be to provide leadership, guidance and mentorship, as well as oversight over the development of our carbon emissions accounting product
- Take accountability for planning and prioritising the technical work in the squad, ensuring the team is clear on what should be built and how
- Manage and coordinate delivery of projects and features in the squad according to timelines committed to by the squad
- Provide a point of contact for stakeholders to address issues, and communicate information about team progress and timelines
- Establish a reporting line with the individuals in the team, and support individuals in day-to-day work and professional development
- Identify capacity gaps in the team, and manage the hiring process to fill potential gaps
Our take
The EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation means that 75% of European companies across the EU and U.K. will be reporting their environmental footprint in 2023. That represents a massive opportunity for startups like Plan A that deliver B2B monitoring services of companies’ sustainability indicators.
The startup is hoping to distinguish itself in a market that is now saturated with services, some of which offer little practical benefit. Plan A's B Corporation certification demonstrates that its tools comply with the strictest reporting standards and reflect the latest developments in climate science.
The company is planning to furnish its product to become best in class, focusing on decarbonisation tooling and the tricky Scope 3 calculations for various industries. While decarbonisation via offsetting can be a lucrative area, Plan A must be careful not to encourage compensation measures for avoidable emissions as this could delegitimise its ESG reporting system and undercut the benefits of using its platform.
