The Challenge
Risilience is a Cambridge-based, Series B company whose climate-analytics technology enables business transformation to a low-carbon economy with its award-winning climate-intelligence SaaS platform.
The multidisciplinary Risilience team sits at the cross section of academia, corporate-risk management and sustainability, enabling major global enterprises to mitigate the financial impact of tomorrow, while taking advantage of the opportunities today.
Having recruited a number of roles across climate risk modelling, client solutions, and customer success as they have grown through Series A and B rounds, we were tasked with the search for their Director of Nature-Risk Analytics.
The Recruitment Approach
This was a very niche role, with a very specific skillset and remit to lead a modeling team and develop models to assess nature, build forward-looking nature scenarios and distill these complex scientific concepts into quantified nature-related financial impacts. The Cambridge location also made the search more limited.
This mandate required a deep search to identify candidates from a variety of backgrounds with the right blend of experience, seniority and fit. Understanding where these skillsets sat and in which organisations was key to finding the right people.
The Outcome
The successful candidate, Mary Goldman had previously worked in Cambridge, but more recently was with a Big 4 consultancy in London. Mary had the perfect blend of quantitative and commercial experience to succeed in the role and was perfectly aligned in terms of culture, mission, values and career goals.
We are delighted for both Mary and the Risilience team, and happy that we found such a strong fit for both.
We lead talent search for impact start-ups and large enterprises who need to accelerate their sustainable changes.
