Hey there 👋

We’ve recently closed our €1 million seed round and are now looking for our first Growth Engineer.

Someone who wants to build and automate the engine behind our outbound commercial motion. You will work closely with the founders to design and run AI-driven growth systems, improve outbound performance, and help create scalable ways to generate qualified opportunities. This is an early-stage role for someone who loves ownership, experimentation, and building commercial automation from the ground up.

If you want to blend technical problem-solving with commercial impact and work shoulder to shoulder with the founders every day, this role is for you.

🚀 The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Growth Engineer who wants to design, automate, and optimise our outbound engine using AI, data, ads, enrichment, and creative experimentation.

You will work on things like:

• Designing automated outbound workflows across email, LinkedIn, and enrichment tools
• Building multi-channel campaigns that combine ads, messaging, and smart sequencing
• Running experiments on messaging, timing, channels, and audience segmentation
• Setting up intent, scoring, and enrichment flows to improve lead quality
• Creating personalised outreach at scale using AI-driven prompts and workflows
• Running targeted pre-touch ads (LinkedIn/Google) to warm accounts before outreach
• Scraping, enriching, and structuring data to prioritise the highest-value accounts
• Automatically surfacing signals (news, hiring, product changes) for better timing
• Maintaining dashboards to track outbound performance and funnel health
• Working closely with the founders to align timing and handover

🛠️ What we think you'll need

• A builder mindset with experience in automation tools
• Understanding of outbound, ICPs, data enrichment, and growth experimentation
• Curiosity around AI and how to use it for commercial workflows
• Ability to turn ideas and insights into automated workflows
• Proactive ownership: you move fast, iterate, and bring ideas to life
• Comfortable working directly with founders in a fast-moving environment

🌱 About Root Sustainability

Today, retail brands waste hundreds of hours and millions in consultant fees to do one thing: calculate their carbon footprint at company or product level. It’s slow, outdated, and broken. At Root, we’re changing that.

Our AI-powered platform automates corporate and product footprint calculations from start to finish. We turn scattered, incomplete operational data into clean, intelligent sustainability insights. Think tens of millions of data points, messy ERP exports, complex supply chains, and sustainability logic that most tools simply can’t handle. Our goal is to make all of that feel simple, clear, and usable for the people who rely on it every day.

💚 Why join us?

Joining Root means stepping into an early-stage environment where you get real ownership, work directly with the founders, and play a key role in shaping the commercial engine of a fast-growing sustainability AI company.

You can expect:

🌍 Meaningful work on climate impact powered by AI

🤝 Day-to-day collaboration with the founders on commercial strategy
