Strategic hiring and talent acquisition support for impact ventures

BX is a fast-growing climate tech company on a mission to restore the planet through better farming. Were building the environmental intelligence layer for agriculture, helping farmers take measurable action on carbon, biodiversity, soil health and more.

Were now hiring our first Chief Scientific Officer : a strategic thinker whos also a hands-on builder. Someone who can take complex environmental science and translate it into clear, usable, scalable insight through technology.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the scientific foundation of a first-in-market platform and lead how science drives real outcomes for farmers, food systems, and the planet.

What youll be doing

Youll lead BXs science function and help evolve our tech platform. Specifically, youll:

• Own the scientific vision behind our intelligence engine, which turns raw farm data into environmental insight
• Define and uphold the scientific models, assumptions, and logic used to generate outputs on carbon, soil, water, biodiversity, and more
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to turn regenerative agriculture science into usable software features
• Lead our on-farm research programme, testing and validating practices that feed directly into our platform
• Build and mentor a high-performing, purpose-driven scientific team, starting small and scaling as we grow
• Represent BXs scientific credibility externally, from methodology bodies to conferences and investor conversations

We think youll thrive here if:

• Youve helped build a scientific product or platform, ideally in ag-tech, environmental data, or climate software
• Youre experienced in areas like regenerative agriculture, agronomy, soil health, farm system modelling or GHG emissions
• You know how to take field-level complexity and distil it into models that work at scale
• Youre as comfortable running trials or validating outputs as you are shaping scientific direction and technology integration
• Youve led or mentored scientific teams, or are ready to step up into an executive role

Why now?

BX is at an inflection point. Our platform is live, our team is growing, and demand is rising. The science behind what we do has never mattered more, and this role will shape how we scale that science with integrity, impact, and usability at its core.

This is an Executive appointment and as CSO, youll sit at the top table, guiding not just the science, but the future direction of the business.

We care about building a diverse and values-led team. If you're not sure you tick every box, but this role excites you, please apply. Wed love to hear from you.
