Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an exceptional lawyer who specializes in advising growing, fast-moving organizations on corporate planning, strategic decision-making, and growth
- Minimum 7 years of professional experience; strongly preferred business-to-business (B2B) real estate client/customer service experience; preferably consultative customer service experience working within the real estate, financial services, fund management, consulting, banking, and/or ESG industry

Our take
We all use a building in some capacity whether that be for work, or to live. The question is - do we know the impact that the property has socially or environmentally? The reality is that the real estate sector contributes an estimated 20% to the world’s carbon emissions, as well as having several other environmental impacts.
Scaler collects ESG (environmental, social, and governance) data to better understand and encourage the real estate industry to do better in this field. With that promise, the company could make a vast impression on the climate crisis, alongside bringing light to the other aspects that ESG data covers.
For a startup, Scaler is setting out with huge ambition by tackling such a complex issue. The company boasts about its very passionate team who’ve worked in relevant sectors including the “Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark” - which brings essential expertise that could really help as Scaler grows.
