The verified expert network for ESG, climate tech, and AI careers
Alive Ace is a verified ESG and AI expert network that connects sustainability professionals, climate tech talent, and impact-driven experts with organisations that have live mandates. Unlike generic job boards, Ace uses a credential-scoring methodology to match each professional to roles where their specific skills — whether in carbon accounting, ESG analytics, circular economy strategy, or AI governance — are genuinely needed. Every expert in the network is pre-vetted against the 7 Alive Standards, ensuring companies receive candidates who meet a shared, transparent benchmark.
Who is it for?
Ace serves two audiences. For sustainability careers and climate tech professionals — whether you are a junior analyst exploring your first ESG role or a senior expert with 10+ years in impact investment, carbon markets, or sustainable finance — Ace provides a curated shortlist of mandates matched to your credentials, plus interview preparation tailored to each company's specific ESG priorities. For organisations, Ace removes the noise of unfiltered applicant pools: companies across 15+ industries and 30+ countries post their mandates and receive a verified shortlist within 24 hours, covering enterprise, SME, and startup opportunities across sectors from FinTech and Data & AI to circular economy and biodiversity.
How does the matching work?
When a professional joins Ace, their experience, certifications, sector specialisation, and achievements are scored against the Alive credential framework. When a company submits a mandate, Ace cross-references it against the verified expert pool — factoring in industry focus, seniority, regional experience, and specific competencies such as Verra methodologies, CSRD reporting, or AI ethics frameworks. The result is a ranked shortlist of candidates who are already briefed on the company's sustainability context before a first conversation takes place. For companies, this means first interviews happen in days rather than months. For professionals, it means every introduction is relevant — no cold applications, no irrelevant outreach.
