Have you ever considered the impact of human decision-making on the climate crisis? It seems obvious, but it's crucial. Improved human decision-making can create immediate and significant reductions in the transport industry’s fuel usage; and that's precisely the mission that Signol is on. 

Signol is a behavioural science software start-up at the beginning of its scaling journey, making this an incredibly exciting time to join us on our mission. Signol is working with major shipping and aviation customers to deliver real and significant savings immediately; our first shipping project saved 13,900 MT CO2 in 4 months, and in aviation we recently saved Virgin Atlantic 3,000 MT CO2 in 6 months. Signol is delivering real benefit today, and we are looking for passionate and motivated individuals to help us scale our impact. 

At Signol, you’ll be working with a fantastic team; world-leading behavioural and data scientists, software developers, sales and operations leads. Every one of us is deeply committed to the climate crisis and building a company that is responsible, responsive, puts carbon reduction at its core and reflects its values with integrity.
