Senior Specialist: Energy Access Platform - London
I work on an initiative that is driving investments in renewable energy in developing countries while also helping corporations achieve their climate targets.
By catalysing finance for distributed renewable energy projects, energy can be delivered where it's needed most: to health clinics, schools, rural communities, and businesses, where it can improve lives and livelihoods.
I am so passionate about energy access and climate change and I love that I get to do this at South Pole. It's also incredible to work with so many amazing people all over the world.
I love travelling and meeting people from different parts of the world. I also love the outdoors and in particular, thrill seeking activities. I always want to try at least one scary thing every year!
Sustainability Advisor - Berlin
I closely work with clients in Germany and Italy to support them with their challenges along the climate journey.
The private sector has an important role to play in driving change. Moreover, it can have a significant positive impact on the climate challenges we are facing.
Despite our daily challenges, all the great colleagues around me make daily life much easier. Furthermore, South Pole does many interesting things and I constantly learn new things.
I love to cook, spend time outside in nature, and watch investigative documentaries.
Associate Director, Climate Policy, Finance and Markets - Mexico City
I support our clients from the public sector to effectively design climate policies, and advise corporates to help them achieve their climate mitigation targets.
Carbon pricing is my bread and butter. I love working with governments to identify strict, transparent, and effective policies to address climate change. Carbon markets allow corporates to find the most cost-effective solutions to reduce emissions.
At South Pole you get to collaborate with amazing people from all around the world and you get inspired by the different ways of communicating the impact of our actions regardless of where we live.
I love challenging myself. Lately I've been quite busy learning how to cook new dishes... with my friends and partner as my guinea pigs. When it's late at night I smash some buttons to beat some aliens invading Earth.
Senior Project Coordinator - COLTAX Projects - Colombia
I work on the design, monitoring, and certification of REDD+ projects that aim to mitigate climate change by contributing to the preservation of the environment, culture, and territory of Indigenous peoples.
The work I have done has allowed South Pole, a global company, to know and understand a little about the lives of Indigenous Peoples by developing projects in which we interact directly with them. This has allowed our projects with Indigenous communities to be built by the communities themselves and thus contribute to the well-being of the communities while strengthening the governance of the territory and its culture.
The work we do with community-based projects makes South Pole special. REDD+ projects can have a lot of positive impacts if a company like South Pole identifies and mitigates the risks the projects can have. In our work in the Vaupés YUTUCU project, we conduct all of our activities in accordance with best practices and aligned with the South Pole mission.
In my free time I like to go for a walk with my dogs, Blanca and Pol. I also enjoy cooking, finding interesting series to watch, sharing with my family, and dreaming about the future.
Portfolio Specialist, Climate Action Credits - Helsinki
I am responsible for overseeing emission reduction projects available in the voluntary carbon market and for creating tailor-made project proposals in order to meet corporate social responsibility targets.
The voluntary carbon market can play a crucial role in solving the climate crisis. My team is ensuring that high quality projects are chosen to compensate for unavoidable emissions and that every client can make a true climate impact.
The international working culture at South Pole is very inspiring, not only from a professional but also from a personal perspective. My team is currently spread across 8 different countries and it is amazing to see so many people from different backgrounds dedicating their careers to one goal - tackling climate change.
I live in Helsinki, Finland, with incredible opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. After work I spend a lot of time in nature, be it hiking in one of the national parks, cycling my beloved road bike, cross-country skiing, or warming up in the sauna to get through the cold winter.
Senior Coordinator, Biodiversity & Landscapes Project Implementation - Colombia
I design and implement projects to restore and protect nature, biodiversity and people.
Biodiversity, climate and people are intrinsically connected: protecting one, we protect all. Our goal is to establish a thorough project that will make all parts thrive: nature, people and economies.
When you work for a company where its mission matches yours, the work environment becomes exciting! The international culture, aligned purpose, and sense of teamwork (even though each member is quite far across the globe) is unique.
I love taking my dog to swim and I'm always looking for rivers, lakes, ponds, or any type of water body during our wanderings. I'm also passionate about making a twig seedling become a big plant on my balcony.
Marketing Manager, Digital Climate Solutions
I help South Pole raise its visibility and connect with companies with sustainability ambitions through marketing and communications campaigns
I connect regional relevance to South Pole's mission to secure growth with the latest marketing tactics and technology.
I chose South Pole for its commitment towards helping and challenging organizations with linking action to their climate ambition. On top of that, South Pole's dedication to a diverse and inclusive workplace and working with our global team to have a regional impact is a great bonus.
Outside of work I usually look for activities outside of my comfort zone. From skydiving or hiking a difficult trail to travelling to destinations where I don't speak the language, I am always ready for my next adventure.
Group Accounting Manager - London
I translate our data into meaningful financial information for both our people and external stakeholders.
Making sense of our finances is essential to ensure that our people can make the best decisions for the company so that we can continue making a positive impact today and well into the future...also, our financial statements are a legal requirement!
Coming from a finance background, it can be hard to feel like you're making a positive change through your job, but South Pole offers that. Plus, the growth of the company and fast-paced environment keeps every day in finance pretty interesting.
I love living in London and can be regularly found at a (vegan!) restaurant, art gallery, or the pub with my friends. I try to offset this with healthier pursuits like swimming and kickboxing.
HR Business Partner - Climate Solutions - Zurich
As a human resources business partner I support our business leaders in finding, developing, and retaining our biggest assets: our employees!
We care about the world as much as we care about our employees! In my role, I make sure we have the right talent at the right time and make sure we can continually develop their skills.
The people are what makes work at South Pole so special. Everyone is very dedicated and committed to tackling the world's biggest problems. But we also have lots of fun together, from afterwork drinks to ski events.
I love spending time with my loved ones and enjoying the beautiful nature in Switzerland. I am a real foodie too and I love cooking with friends or just enjoying dinner in a restaurant.
Digital Specialist - Jakarta
I support the marketing and communications team using Pardot for email marketing, perform content updates and maintenance on the website, conduct digital reporting on website & campaign performance, and work on digital & website development projects.
I help to spread the word about climate action and what we should do to save the environment.
The obvious answer is diversity. I love working with the teams around the globe, they are very nice and cooperative. I can always learn something new related to climate issues and sustainability topics. On top of that, our mission is to tackle climate change, which has a positive impact on society and the environment.
I love cooking Indonesian food and other dishes that I have never cooked before, hanging out, karaoke and watching movies with my friends.
At South Pole, we believe in climate action as an essential part of living sustainably on our planet. But financing the goals of the Paris Agreement calls for a fundamental shift in the global economy. Driven by our love for the planet and the life that inhabits it, we fight day in and day out to help businesses, governments and communities make climate action the new normal. To do so, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards and are driven by a set of core values that guide us in everything we do. Because climate and human development are two sides of the same coin.
South Pole was formed in 2006 by a small group of idealistic entrepreneurs. Fighting climate change back then was an uphill battle - people could not see it, could not feel it, and didn’t believe it was real.
