Join Minviro: Help shape a more sustainable future

Minviro is at the forefront of the transition to a green economy. The technologies needed for this transition (such as batteries, magnets, and solar panels) are massively more energy-intensive to produce than their fossil fuel counterparts (such as combustion engines). Without consideration, the transition to green energy will not be enough to prevent climate catastrophe. Our goal is clear: to help companies in the energy transition understand, and reduce, their environmental impact.

As a growing startup with aspirations to become a leading name in environmental intelligence, our culture is shaped by ambition, collaboration, and constant innovation. Our team has expanded rapidly, doubling in size in 2022 and 2023, and we've recently opened new offices in Shanghai and Perth. This growth reflects our position as the most respected LCA consultancy in the energy transition sector.

We're now ready to take the next step on a journey, where technology plays a pivotal role in how we empower the energy sector with environmental intelligence. We’ve set an ambitious goal for software to be the primary revenue driver for the business by 2026, and want to build the team to help us get there.

The role

We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Head of UK Sales to lead our sales efforts from our HeadQuarters in London. This senior role is critical to driving the growth of both our consultancy services and software solutions, ensuring we meet and exceed our UK revenue targets.
