People and Talent Operations Associate at TransitionZero
Contract Type:Fixed Term (6 - 9 months)
About you
You are a highly proactive, high-agency individual with a deep commitment to climate action and the energy transition. You are passionate about using compelling communication to accelerate change and drive the mission of a data-focused non-profit to win in its vertical.
We value ownership, accountability, and a culture of feedback. As such, you are self-aware, detail-oriented, and bring a relentless problem-solving attitude to your comms work. You thrive in cross-functional environments, enjoying the collaboration required to work with modellers, market experts, and product teams to find and craft compelling stories.
A high level of adaptability, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment is essential as you manage multiple workstreams and seek innovative ways to translate complex data into engaging public-facing content.
About the role
The purpose of this role is to keep our communications and marketing engine running at full speed. You’ll sit at the intersection of marketing, storytelling, and design to build TransitionZero’s brand and drive adoption of Scenario Builder. To do this you’ll own the content calendar, social channels, website updates, and day-to-day asset creation while partnering closely with insight analysts, modellers, engagement leads, and the product team.
While experience in the energy transition or climate space is a plus, we also welcome candidates with backgrounds in finance/business journalism, or data-driven storytelling.
This is a hybrid role, based out of our London office, reporting to the Head of Content.

* Ensure adherence to tone, brand, accessibility, and editorial standards
Skills and experience
* Proven ability to translate complex concepts into engaging, accurate content.
* Strong writer and editor: You write with clarity, precision, and creativity, and have an editor’s eye for structure, grammar, and detail.

Technical communication
* Experience working with subject-matter experts, researchers, analysts, or data teams.
* Familiarity with climate, energy, or sustainability issues.

Digital fluency
* Digital design fluency: Skilled in creating strong visual content (e.g., in Canva) and in short-form video editing for shaping narrative visuals.
* Detail-oriented, organised, and capable of managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment (demonstrating necessary execution skills).
* Familiarity with web publishing and SEO principles (as noted in the digital design fluency requirements).
* Experience in B2B/B2G or software-driven environments.
* Ability to support data-visualisation workflows and storytelling.
* Understanding of analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Hootsuite, LinkedIn/Twitter dashboards).
* Know how to use Hubspot & Vercel.
About us
We are a climate-tech startup established in 2021. We provide electricity grid modelling software to accelerate energy planning in emerging markets and developing economies. Today’s tools are costly, closed, and hard to use, with modelling studies taking months or years when they should take weeks or days. We designed Scenario Builder to meet this challenge, so energy planners and investors can make better decisions, faster.
Our funding currently comes from a range of US and EU foundations, including the Quadrature Climate Foundation, Google.org, the Sequoia Climate Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the European Climate Foundation.
At TransitionZero, we understand that diversity is an essential component of a successful team, whether that be diverse ways of thinking, personal or professional backgrounds, or skills. We aim to be the most talented non-profit in our vertical through our culture of ownership and adaptability.
