About CDP

CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. The world’s economy looks to CDP as the gold standard of environmental reporting with the richest and most comprehensive dataset on corporate and city action. In 2021 we launched our new five-year strategy: Accelerating the Rate of Change - find out more here. Visit  https://cdp.net/en or follow us @CDP to find out more. 

Job Purpose and Background

In 2023 CDP underwent a complete digital transformation, seeing us transition the annual disclosure cycle from a paper-based, human-intensive and vendor-dependent stack, to a completely in-house developed, modernised and scalable product that will revolutionise the customer-experience for both external and internal users. As part of this transformation we also built completely new teams, spanning across Design, Product, Infrastructure and Engineering.

The Engineering team is made up of three unique domains;

• Disclosure: how CDP builds and programs questionnaires, and respondents provide their data
• Scoring: how CDP scores and assesses respondents' data
• Data: how CDP can provide datasets and products to customers
