GHG Accounting & Data Analysis for SaaS development support

Descarbonize is a Brazilian climate-tech startup, connected to the world's largest sustainable energy innovation ecosystem, with operations in Europe through The Emissions Tracing Company SL. We believe that through education, technology, and greater transparency, organizations, events, and people can grow economically while becoming more sustainable.

We help companies measure, understand, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, giving them a more accurate view of their carbon footprint and making their supply chains more sustainable. Our compensation sources come mainly from renewable energy projects with a strong socio-environmental commitment, bringing social inclusion and improved living conditions to the communities involved.

We're looking for a motivated intern to join our team and support our clients' GHG inventories and decarbonization journeys. This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on calculations and data, ideal for someone who wants to build a career in carbon accounting and corporate sustainability.

• Researching, comparing, and analyzing emission factors from recognized databases (e.g. DEFRA, IPCC, Ecoinvent, IEA), assessing their suitability for each activity, region, and year
• Analyzing results, identifying emission hotspots, and supporting reduction recommendations
• Helping prepare reports, dashboards, and presentations for clients
• Supporting projects related to SBTi target setting, EcoVadis assessments, and other sustainability frameworks
• Contributing to the improvement of our internal calculation tools and methodologies

• Currently enrolled in or graduated from an Energy Masters Programme
