Kara Inc. is a fast-growing software company dedicated to building the data infrastructure for climate disclosures and ESG reporting. Our customers are venture capital investors and technology companies. As our Head of Growth, you will be responsible for leading the development and execution of strategic initiatives aimed at accelerating our growth and expanding our reach. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic team of professionals who share your passion for sustainability and making a positive impact on the world. About Kara Kara is a software platform to empower investors and technology companies to achieve their climate and social goals. The problem that we are solving is that investors (LPs and GPs), governments, and a whole new generation of consumers are increasingly asking if their capital is building the world that they want to see: Are our investments helping solve our climate crisis? What's the diversity of the leadership of our portfolio companies? Are there any practices within the companies that are not responsible? Starting with venture capital investors, the platform measures the ESG and impact performance of a portfolio of companies, while extracting insights on both individual companies and an aggregated portfolio, making the results easy to share with LPs and other stakeholders. The platform is framework agnostic (SFDR, UN PRI, UN SDGs, Net Zero, SASB, etc), but it has a set of data that is uniform throughout to be able to set benchmarks and compare metrics. Capital is the ultimate lever for change. Kara aims to be the ESG data clearinghouse for all capital invested. We'd love for you to join us. Responsibilities
