🔎 What we’re looking for

After raising a big seed round from prominent European venture capital and impact firms, we are looking for a Business Development profile to join our team in Paris. The management team is experienced, ambitious and gathers serial entrepreneurs, investors and data scientists.

You will work directly with the CEO, and in being the driving force in securing new business and partnerships for us, will be at the forefront of innovation in the ESG and sustainability industry. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing tech company determined to make a strong positive impact on the world.

🌿 About us

The world is changing. In order to succeed companies must now go beyond financial metrics and integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their strategies and ways of working.

Concretely it means addressing questions such as:

What’s the environmental impact of my business?
Are my recruiting practices equitable?
Am I positively impacting all stakeholders?

This is critical for companies to appeal to more customers, and have an edge in attracting top talent and investment.

At apiday we are building a collaborative platform for forward-thinking companies to effectively manage their ESG data.

Our system allows ESG information to flow easily from company data sources to an expertly curated database, with which customers can:

Automate their ESG reporting or certification process
Collaborate with ESG consultants to build a sustainability action plan
Communicate and visualise ESG actions and data

In summary, we are replacing inefficient workflows and messy Excels, with a fully-featured operating system for sustainability data.

Our ambition is to help companies transition towards more sustainable operating models, and build a clear edge against competitors that are only focused on financial performance.

We are looking for passionate and like-minded individuals to join us, and have a hand in defining what a sustainable future will look like, instead of watching from the sidelines.
