About The Position

At neustark, we’re all in for one mission: permanently removing one million tons of CO2 in 2030, and even more every year beyond that. Why? It’s a no-brainer: we want to enable a bright future for all future generations on our planet. And for that, we need to reduce and remove CO2, now. Sound exciting? Well, there’s more! We’re a closely knitted team of around 60 neustarkers, working flexibly, internationally and full of passion and ambition.
