Climate Scientist (Storms)
Climate X
We are a leading global climate risk and analytics provider located in London, UK and New York, US. Earlier this year, we closed Series A led by GV (Google Ventures) and are on a fast trajectory to lead the financial services and asset management industries with our B2E SaaS platform, comprised of three products, Carta, Spectra and Adapt, which resolve customer climate risk challenges across their entire workflows.
We are at a pivotal point in scaling our product offering, expanding our market reach, and refining our product strategy to sustain continued success.

As a Climate Scientist focusing on storms, you’ll join an interdisciplinary science team, with three other climate scientists, as well as hazard scientists, geospatial experts and loss modellers. Together, we’re building global-scale models to assess the physical risks of climate change. This role is focused on the continual support and development of our storm based hazard models, currently tropical cyclones, storm surge and European extra-tropical cyclones.
We’re seeking an enthusiastic and capable climate scientist with expertise in the modelling of (extra-) tropical cyclones to join the team and support the continual development of our internal hazard models and asses the impact of climate change on the risk posed by these perils.
We work in a commercial environment, so the end product needs to meet a client requirements and this drives our development. However, we want to do be informed by and do good science, and then make this useful for people!
The impact you’ll own:
- Undertake cutting-edge scientific model development by leading the refinement of our storm models based on scientific research and applying tropical cyclone and storm surge models in new geographies.
- Lead robust model evaluation and verification work to evaluate the model outputs and document models for internal and external communication for banking clients.
- Disseminate scientific insights and methods to engage with stakeholders, customers, the scientific community – representing the team at international conferences and industry events.
- Collaborate across scientific and technical domains through working with other climate and geospatial scientists co-develop integrated storm risk (hazard and loss) models
