👷🏻♀️ What We Do 👷🏻♀️
At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.
With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

What You Will Work On

The ideal candidate has a "Product-Led Sales" mindset—someone who can sell a vision while simultaneously sketching out the API requirements to make that vision a reality.
In the first 6 months, you will
