Sales Development Representative

Hi, we’re CIM. We’re a founder-led, venture-backed climate-tech scale-up that has created software which helps building owners accelerate their journey to net zero emissions. We are looking for incredible, mission oriented people who are motivated by solving complex problems to join our team.

First, some context: 

The built environment is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, accounting for almost 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Over half of these emissions are generated by operational activities * which our software helps reduce by enabling property operations teams to work smarter and more collaboratively. 

By automating critical operational activities and accelerating the completion of key tasks we are able to significantly improve operational efficiency of a building and reduce its carbon footprint. To date, we’ve helped save over 179k tons of CO2 from the environment and our goal is to become a gigacorn by reducing CO2 emissions by one gigaton per year. 

Our clients include real estate investment trusts, super funds, governments, major cultural institutions and property owners who operate offices, shopping centres, airports, and other commercial spaces.

With our HQ in Sydney and an office in EMEA and a newly established office in the US, we’re a team of passionate, skilled experts united by our desire to improve sustainability in the built environment.
