Role
Who you are
- You’ve helped scale something before and now want to build and own from the ground up
- You’ve been a strong #2 and are ready for a clear ownership role
- Comfortable making decisions with imperfect information
- Thoughtful, curious, and opinionated, with good judgment and taste
- Drawn to community, events, and relationship-driven growth
- Energized by small teams, fast feedback, and visible impact
- Willing to travel and be in the room where trust is built
- Curious about new AI tools and comfortable learning and experimenting in public
- Excited to travel ~25% of the time
- Backgrounds that could fit well:
- Early-stage startup growth or marketing
- Passionate and active member of the travel community
- Community or events roles with real responsibility
- Consulting, operations, or generalist roles with external exposure
What the job involves
- This is a growth role, but not a traditional one
- You’ll work closely with founders to design, build, and run the growth channels we already know work, then help turn them into repeatable systems. You’ll also partner closely with Sales to drive the pipeline, with shared ownership of outcomes
- Community and events are the non-negotiable core of this role. Everything else should reinforce these engines
- Founders are deeply involved in the community and events and will partner directly with you on programming, presence, and strategy
- Community:
- You’ll help design and evolve Clarasight’s community as a core driver of trust and demand
- You will:
- Shape the purpose and direction of the community
- Design experiences that help Travel Managers stay relevant in an AI-driven world
- Build a repeatable cadence of sessions, workshops, and peer connections
- Partner with founders to maintain quality as the community grows
- This is about relevance and impact, not scale for scale’s sake
- Live Events:
- You’ll help define how Clarasight shows up in person
- Decide which events matter and what success looks like
- Design in-person moments that feel intentional, not transactional
- Turn events into momentum through preparation, presence, and follow-up
- Develop judgment around ROI in a relationship-driven market
Our take
Corporations are steadily making greater efforts to address their carbon footprint, and investment into sustainability focused companies is reaching new heights. Indeed, investment into ESG funds doubled from 2021 to 2022, while global sustainable investment is up around 70% since 2014.
Clarasight (previously Climate Club) has entered the space with a platform that engages employees in carbon emissions reduction, or as the startup puts its, “embeds sustainability into the employee experience”, by helping track their emissions through business travel and remote work.
It’s a clever idea, and the company’s timing is excellent, especially considering that many polls now show that around 70% of employees want to work for sustainable companies, while it’s a deal breaker for around 25%.
Clarasight's emergence from stealth in 2022 was no quiet event either. CEO Adam Braun is a best-selling author and celebrated non-profit leader, while the company’s customer base already includes Meta, Lyft, and Bain & Company made sure of this. With three rounds of seed funding already behind it, Climate Club will continue to onboard big-name customers.
