Why join us?

The decarbonisation landscape has changed. There’s a big gap in the race to get to 1.5°c, and buildings represent 40% of carbon emissions globally. This means the way real estate will be valued, built, retrofitted and capitalised will be radically different due to climate change. Mobius Carbon is building the worlds first decarbonisation and asset management platform specifically designed for commercial real estate. Our clients include global asset management firms, family offices and real estate services and investment firms.

We're a venture capital backed early-stage startup based in London, UK. Our team comprises of talent from leading financial services, energy and technology companies—Bloomberg NEF, BlackRock, HSBC, First Derivatives, Mastercard, Arrival and Kraken (Octupus Energy). To help us reach our mission, we've partnered with global sustainability leaders—IFRS Sustainability Alliance, GRESB, Kaya Partners and SDCL.

We’re looking for passionate, ambitious, self-starters to join our team. We’re creating carbon transition investment tools that provide unique market insight, analysis, and asset-level performance benchmarking. We have already established a client base and are rapidly expanding our team.

Build the future of transition finance with us.
