What You'll Do:You'll be the technical authority inside Pathways. You'll be the person who sets the standard for what defensible LCA looks like across our platform, our customers, and our verifier relationships. This is a high-ownership, high-precision role where the quality of your work directly determines the quality of what we ship.
- Own the standards: EN 15804+A2, ISO 14040/14044, ISO 14025, the PCRs. Translate clause-level requirements into modeling decisions, product behavior, and customer-facing guidance. Keep the methodology current as the standards evolve.
- Manage technical relationships: Work directly with concrete producers and their LCA leads. Review their models, sanity-check their inputs, turn plant-specific quirks - mix designs, plant boundaries, SCM sourcing - into clean, defensible LCA structures inside the platform.
- Lead verifier interactions: Defend modeling choices, close findings, and turn revisions around fast. Verifier rounds are a thing to nail.
- Shape the platform: Partner closely with Product and Engineering. Translate standards into product requirements, review implementations, argue for the right defaults. The platform's accuracy is yours to defend.
- Run your portfolio: Multiple workstreams in parallel, hard deadlines, no project manager shielding you -- and you don't want one.
What We're Looking For:- 5-8 years of LCA experience: Deep fluency in EN 15804+A2, ISO 14040/14044, ISO 14025, and the relevant PCRs. Construction-materials background - concrete, cement, aggregates, or SCMs - is a hard requirement.
- Real project management: You've run 5+ concurrent technical workstreams against hard deadlines, ideally cut at a top-tier consultancy (Big 4, sustainability/engineering, or LCA specialist firm) or as a freelance practitioner who survived without a safety net.
- Shipped EPDs: We are not interested in someone who has read EN 15804. We want someone who has shipped EPDs through verification under it.
- Extreme attention to detail: You catch the off-by-one in a transport distance and the missing sub-module before a verifier does. Precision in inputs, units, and documentation is non-negotiable.
- Translation between stakeholders: You move fluidly between standards-speak, engineer-speak, and plant-operator-speak without losing meaning.
- High-agency mindset: You're comfortable operating with autonomy, making calls, and owning outcomes in a fast-moving environment.
- Comfortable working across time zones: We serve customers globally and our team spans Copenhagen and New York.
- Based in New York: NYC based or willing to relocate
- Mission-driven: Decarbonizing the built environment is part of why this work matters to you, not just a line on the website.
Compensation/Benefits:- Salary: $110,000 - $135,000 base + equity
- Benefits: Health insurance, 401k, unlimited PTO
This is an in-person, 4-day/week in the office role located in New York City.
