Company details
Risilience is seeking to employ a Trainee Management Accountant to join us in our mission to help tackle climate change, one of the biggest systemic threats facing the planet today.
We have developed a unique modelling and analytics platform to help international corporations assess their risks and opportunities presented by rising temperatures, climate-related policy, and emerging technologies in our changing world.
Our SaaS solutions help companies produce climate-related compliance analytics, navigate their pathway to Net Zero, and perform scientifically based cost benefit comparisons of emission reduction strategies versus their risks. We also offer enterprise-level risk analytics for a wide variety of non-climate-change threats and trends. We have a blue-chip client base with a growing list of globally recognised brands. The pedigree of our solutions is supported by our deep academic roots that go back to the Business School in the University of Cambridge (UK) and the close ties we maintain to the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies.
Our business received Series B funding in early 2023 and is growing rapidly towards the next round of investment.
Our Benefits
Benefits include competitive basic salary, annual discretionary bonus, employer pension contributions, private medical insurance, support whilst training, remote and flexible working, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Our Values
We start with the facts
We grasp the facts first and give opinions second to make positive moves that matter.
We are insights-driven; understanding our customers’ challenges to meet their needs and inform company strategy.
We lead with integrity
We show respect for others in every interaction.
Professionalism is about ownership: we take responsibility and do what we say we will.
We are curious challengers
Complex problems don’t scare us – they fuel us.
We collaborate and innovate to remove complexity and enable positive transformation for ourselves and our clients.
We win together
We value every voice equally, embracing differences in background, expertise and experience.
We leave our egos at the door, lift each other up and align our direction of travel.
