<aside> 🌍 We’re building a global, category-defining climate investment platform. To do so, we provide individual investors with climate assets, systematically designed for both impact and returns. We want to be seen as an uncompromising and trustworthy leader in climate finance, massively steering capital towards emissions reduction.
This role is designed for someone with 2-3 years of professional experience in a high stakes, fast paced environment. It is a generalist role across multiple disciplines with a huge bias on execution and operational excellence.
We expect our Ops, Data, AI lead to take on all operational topics at Homaio, while focusing on setting up scalable processes geared for small teams and consistently delivering rigorous and reliable solutions. We value commitment, delivery, and ownership. What that means is that we expect you to come to work every morning asking yourself: “What will I do today to contribute to Homaio’s growth ?”.
It is a challenging role, demanding exceptional energy and focus. In exchange, it offers the opportunity join a founding team and deploy AI solutions from scratch in a uniquely ambitious consumer-oriented climate tech startup.

Climate change is an economic problem first, and a financial problem second.
It’s an economic problem in the sense that runaway greenhouse gas emissions are a negative externality: they generate a cost to society that isn’t priced at its source. To reduce emissions at scale, these costs need to be internalized by pricing emissions.
It’s a financial problem in the sense that while we have the technologies and the know-how to mitigate global warming and suppress emissions, we’re collectively failing at allocating enough financial ressources to these solutions.
Homaio was born from these observations.
🔗 www.homaio.com The company is young - it was launched in September 2023. There are 7 people in the team and 2 open positions. We raised a pre-seed round of 1.5m€ with well known European VCs and business angels. We have a live product and hundreds of clients in multiple countries, from Brazil to Singapore. While it is still early stage, there is an ongoing business and structured team to welcome you.
Homaio exists because no other product or platform offers a simple and trustworthy access to climate finance products that deliver both returns and demonstrated impact to climate conscious investors. We want to be the most recognized and most relevant climate finance platform of our generation. To do so, we design, develop, and distribute financial products.
We started by making European Union Allowances (EUA) accessible to individual investors. They are the trading unit of Europe’s carbon pricing scheme.
Carbon pricing is the fairest and most efficient mechanism to drive systemic change in production, consumption, and investment patterns. Emissions trading schemes, which are market-based approaches to carbon pricing, are being implemented throughout the world. Their trading unit - carbon allowances - are evolving into a new global asset class which has the potential to deliver significant emissions reduction.
By unlocking carbon allowances, we’re empowering individual investors to leverage their financial power and accelerate the transformative potential of emissions trading schemes. As carbon prices increase, polluters have a greater incentive to invest in decarbonation solutions, funneling massive investments in clean industries.
We’re also diversifying market participants while adding liquidity, thus nurturing a well-functioning market to finance the future.
We are building a team of gentle monsters.
Monsters, because we’re tackling an immense challenge (global warming) in an extremely contrarian way (designing bespoke climate grade assets). We’re trailblazing on the very fringes of climate finance, pushing regulatory, technical, and political hurdles. What we do is hard, and we feed off that challenge.
Gentle, because the only way we can succeed is if we’re deeply convinced in the merits of our mission and in the strength of our team. We advance with integrity, purpose, and elegance, supporting each other as we help restore balance to global financial markets.
Homaio wants to democratize access to climate finance that works.
We’re hiring a Ops, Data, AI Lead to lead all operational processes at Homaio. While the role is focused on operations, you will be highly involved with every other mission-critical team and play a key role deploying AI across all internal and external activities - from interacting with our database to extracting marketing campaign data, generating content, or supporting clients.
This is a challenging role at the intersection of business, tech, and operations for someone with at least 2-3 years of experience and prior exposure to high-intensity environments (early stage startups, PE/VC funds, tier-one consulting firms, investment banking…). Experience in fintech is a valuable bonus.
