What is a Climatologist job?

A climatologist is a scientist who studies long-term weather patterns and climate trends. They analyze historical and current climate data to understand changes in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions. Their work helps predict future climate scenarios, assess environmental impact, and guide policy decisions. Climatologists may work in research, government agencies, or private industries to address climate-related challenges.

Working with interdisciplinary teams is common, especially when addressing complex climate issues or contributing to policy recommendations.

Job description

About Novata
Novata is a public benefit corporation founded by a unique consortium of leading foundations and private-sector organizations, including the Ford Foundation, the Omidyar Network, S&P Global, and Hamilton Lane. Our mission is to empower the private markets to build a more inclusive and sustainable form of capitalism. We do this by providing best-in-class technology and tools to help clients collect, analyze, benchmark, and report ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) data. With a diverse, experienced, and mission-driven team, we are building a company that values both performance and purpose.
Novata is proud to have acquired Atlas Metrics to expand our global reach and expand our product innovation. Together, we make sustainability even simpler for private markets. Now, 400+ clients and over 13,000 companies worldwide count on Novata to make collecting, reporting, and acting on sustainability data easy.
About Novata Advisory
Backed by platform data and insights from more than 13,000 private companies, Novata Advisory enhances our market-leading technology solution with a suite of offerings that maximise the value of the Novata experience, partnering with private equity GPs and their portfolio companies to translate ESG data into decisions that drive measurable value. The Advisory team works across the full ESG spectrum, from carbon accounting and climate risk to governance and impact reporting, delivering engagements that are directly integrated with Novata's technology platform.
Advisory is purpose-built to challenge the traditional consulting model: AI-led offerings and workflows, vibe coding, prototyping, custom solutions, and a tight feedback loop with Product mean that Advisory operates as both a client delivery function and an engine for innovation. The Advisory team is intentionally lean, tech-enabled, and strategically linked to Novata's product roadmap, enabling efficient client delivery, building custom AI solutions for clients, and setting a new standard for what ESG advisory can look like in private markets.
Job Summary
As Manager, Carbon & Climate Advisory, you will lead project delivery across Novata's climate and carbon offerings and R&D function, from GHG accounting and financed emissions to climate risk assessment and regulatory disclosure, while contributing to the development and commercialisation of these offerings and solutions.
You will report directly to the Director of Advisory and work closely with a small, high-performing, US-based team.
