ZeroMission AB

Business Development Manager

ZeroMission is a company with a strong value base whose vision is to take companies to net zero emissions and to create planetary benefit. Through climate impact calculations, climate strategies, and carbon offsetting we help companies take their responsibility to measure and reduce their emissions but also to bind carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the corresponding extent they have emissions left. We do this through high-quality energy- and forestry projects. Our customers include several well-known companies with a high sustainability profile. We who work at ZeroMission want to make a difference to the planet in harmony with better business for our customers. Everyone in our team is driven by a strong commitment to the climate issue.

We are now continuing to build a dream team of climate heroes that will develop and grow our business and help slow down the course of climate change.

With an increased insight into the importance of the climate issue, for both society and businesses, the demand for our products and services increases. With our powerful online calculation platform, our customers can calculate and gain control over their climate impact. We support our customers and partners with tools, methods and knowledge for their climate calculations and reports, but also for more traditional sustainability reporting. The need for our services is growing and we are therefore in need of strengthening our team with a Business Development Manager.
