Senior Account Executive DACH Market (Native German Speaker) H/F

The Climate School is made up of 60 team members across the world (APAC, UK, DACH, FRANCE), dedicated to training employees on environmental issues and supporting the transformation of their roles.

Our goal: to give employees both the motivation and the means to engage in their company’s sustainable transformation.

To achieve this, we apply the same methodology to all our courses: proven scientific evidence, real-life case studies, and high-quality production refined by audiovisual experts. All our content is original, designed by our team in collaboration with experts, researchers, scientists, professors, and more.

Today, the Climate School has three verticals:

Online Training: More than 300 corporate clients subscribe to our training catalog, which includes around 400 videos and related quizzes in 10 languages. We help organizations quickly deploy environmental knowledge and skills at scale. In addition to our off-the-shelf videos, we also offer fully customized courses tailored to our clients’ needs.

In-Person Training: 1,500 people trained in 2025 on environmental and business challenges, including executive committees (COMEX), professional groups (Procurement, Communications, IT), young talent programs, onboarding programs, and more. We organize sessions ranging from 2 hours to 3 days depending on our clients’ needs.

Communication and Engagement: We support CSR departments in raising internal awareness through the production of internal communication content, the creation of turnkey awareness workshops that can be deployed independently, and the facilitation of communities.
