There are very few moments in a career when you get to sell something genuinely new. This is one of them. You’ve spent your career placing rare, considered propositions in front of the most discerning buyers — and you know the best deals are won on trust, provenance and story, not on discounting. We’re going to ask you to do exactly that, with something the market has never seen. Natural capital is emerging as one of the world’s most significant new asset classes, and the commercial market for it is being built in real time. Oxygen Conservation is at the forefront. We’re a fast-scaling business on a mission to protect and restore the natural environment at an institutional scale, aiming for £1 billion of assets under management by 2030 — and we’ll get there by bringing real commercial discipline to conservation. We’ve developed the highest-quality nature-based carbon credits in the world, at record prices, and this is just the beginning. We’re now bringing our portfolio of 2 million premium natural capital credits to market, and this role was created specifically to lead that. You don’t need to come from natural capital — we’ll make you fluent. What we can’t teach is the instinct for a premium sale, the discipline to hold a price, and the relationships that follow you from one deal to the next. Do that here, and you won’t just close landmark deals — you’ll help define how nature is commercialised globally, delivering genuine environmental and social impact alongside financial returns. About You You’ve built your career selling premium — luxury, high-end services or sophisticated B2B environments, partnering with FTSE 100, S&P 500, hyperscalers, infrastructure operators or comparable institutions, where commitment is earned on scarcity, provenance and trust. You understand how procurement and investment committees actually make decisions. You move comfortably across boardrooms and high-trust commercial environments, and you know instinctively that the best outcomes come from genuine relationships, sharp judgement, and the discipline to walk away from the wrong deal. You care passionately about quality, you have an unrelenting commitment to delivery, and you love building relationships with people. Here, you’ll be selling things that have rarely been sold before — helping create the market as you go. Mindset Quality over quick wins: you care about the outcome, not just the deal. The developing natural capital market ruthlessly tests anyone who doesn’t. You’re radically transparent with partners (and with us) when something doesn’t add up, and you walk away when the shape of a deal would compromise quality or integrity. You’re here to make a market, not just hit a target. Pace and patience: OC moves quickly, especially when our market doesn’t. You bring the urgency to operate at our speed and the resilience for the long term — because deals in this developing market don’t close in a quarter, and the work between “yes in principle” and signed contract is where most people fall away. A builder, comfortable in ambiguity: when there’s no playbook, no comparable benchmark and no obvious next move, you’re the person who keeps moving forward. You treat the zero-to-one nature of this role as the appeal, not the risk — and you treat collaboration as the way you build, not friction along the way. The team’s success matters more than your personal pipeline; we have a very rigid “No Dickheads” policy. A learner by instinct: you’ll become genuinely bilingual in the rapidly evolving carbon and biodiversity credit markets — and just as comfortable with the technology that underpins how we make decisions and the products you take to market. Over time, you’ll become the leading commercial figure in the domain. Craft Deal-making as a creative discipline: when a partner says “this doesn’t work for us,” you’ve already prepared alternative shapes — different tenor, volume, commitment — and can walk through them confidently. A translator and a storyteller: you move between conservation science, investor narrative and corporate procurement language without losing fluency in any of them — and you understand that premium propositions are won on story as much as substance, crafting narratives that partners want to be part of. Unreasonable hospitality: your mindset is to solve with generosity. You think about relationships the way Will Guidara writes about them in Unreasonable Hospitality — going beyond competent service to make people feel genuinely seen, anticipating what partners need before they ask, and treating every relationship, not just the biggest, with the same genuine care. Skillset Financial literacy to model your own deals: you can appraise how a credit sale affects an investment return, how pricing decisions ripple through a business model, and articulate both to a board. Technology as leverage: you understand that the right systems, AI tools and data platforms multiply a commercial leader’s impact. You’ll know how to use our proprietary tech to inform pricing, identify the right partners and stay close to a long pipeline — and how to bring AI into your daily workflow as leverage, not novelty. About the Role This role exists to bring our premium natural capital portfolio to market — leading the sale of 2 million high-integrity carbon, biodiversity and wider nature credits to corporate partners and private investors, at prices that align with the uniqueness of our offering. Your primary focus is securing offtake agreements, premium credit sales and long-term strategic partnerships for OC’s natural capital portfolio. Over time, you’ll build on this foundation to extend the commercial model across the wider Oxygen platform — our proprietary data and analytics capability, our talent network and our content engine — maximising the commercial opportunities across the business. The routes to market you build matter beyond revenue. By establishing credible, scalable partnerships, you’ll directly strengthen our investment case — helping demonstrate to capital markets that high-integrity natural capital is not only impactful but genuinely commercially viable at scale. Internally, this role sits at the heart of our business. You’ll work across our three divisions — Conservation, Capital and Intelligence — bringing together our natural capital, data and analytics, investment, legal, finance and marketing capabilities to create commercial propositions that define the market. You’ll work directly with our CEO and alongside teams that have spent years building expertise across carbon markets, biodiversity net gain and peatland restoration — they’ll be your most important resource, and we’ll invest in your literacy across the landscape. Externally, your relationships will span global corporates, hyperscalers, high net worth individuals and other strategic partners who want exposure to high-quality, high-integrity natural capital. This role builds OC’s brand as a premium developer as much as its revenue. Key Responsibilities Own the number: carry responsibility for bringing 2 million premium credits to market — landing the offtake agreements, premium sales and long-term partnerships that define OC’s commercial future. Sell at the top of the market: position our credits at the premium end and defend the pricing that quality deserves. Land landmark partnerships: secure long-term relationships with corporates, investors and strategic buyers that shape the future of the market. Structure category-defining deals: create commercial structures where no established template yet exists. Turn relationships into revenue: build deep, trusted partnerships that compound over years, not quarters. Make the investment case undeniable: ensure every deal strengthens confidence in natural capital as a scalable institutional asset class. Build the market: help define how premium natural capital is bought, sold and valued globally. Commercialise the wider Oxygen platform: unlock new opportunities across our data, analytics and intelligence capabilities over time. Represent Oxygen at the highest level: build our reputation in boardrooms, investment committees and the conversations that move markets. Use AI as leverage: bring AI into your daily workflow to move faster, spot opportunities earlier, and operate at a level traditional commercial teams cannot match. Key Information • Location: Remote within the UK, with regular travel to our estates and to partner meetings as required., • Employment type: Permanent, full-time., • Compensation: A strong base salary and benefits reflecting the seniority of the role. This isn’t a commission-based position — because we never want a reason to push the wrong deal — but we reward the people who help build this market generously.

Position Overview: We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to design and build the core of our enterprise AI platform: production LLM applications, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG/GraphRAG) systems, and agentic services that turn complex enterprise data into reliable, explainable answers. This is a hands-on application-engineering role. You will own AI features end to end — from retrieval and orchestration through to streaming APIs and production reliability. You'll also lead applied R&D into self-hosted open models, benchmarking and selecting the right models for each task. A dedicated DevOps team owns production deployment, so your platform work is focused on evaluation and enablement, not running clusters. Our platform is built in Python today and is evolving toward a microservices architecture; the stack will grow over time and may include additional languages and runtimes. We value engineers who reason from fundamentals and pick the right tool for the job rather than being tied to a single technology. You'll work in a small, senior team building toward increasingly autonomous, agentic systems. Location: UK or EU Hybrid/Remote: Remote Responsibilities: AI Application Engineering (core) · Design, build, and maintain production LLM-powered services: conversational agents, RAG/GraphRAG retrieval, and natural-language querying over enterprise data sources. · Build and tune retrieval pipelines — combining semantic (vector) and keyword search, and knowledge-graph–backed context — for relevance and grounding. · Implement agentic patterns: tool/function calling, multi-step reasoning, conversation memory, and real-time streaming responses. · Engineer for reliability and explainability: guardrails/content safety, source attribution, evaluation, and graceful failure handling. · Optimize latency, cost, and throughput across the LLM and embedding layers (caching, routing, token management). Applied Model R&D & Self-Hosting · Evaluate and benchmark LLMs and embedding models — both API-based and self-hosted. · Stand up and assess self-hosted open models on modern serving runtimes, comparing quality, latency, and cost trade-offs. · Drive model-selection decisions per task (chat, query generation, reranking, embeddings) and translate findings into production configuration. Backend & Services Engineering · Build high-quality, well-tested backend services and APIs (currently Python; the stack is evolving toward microservices and may span additional languages). · Design durable, long-running workflows using a workflow-orchestration platform. · Help shape the move toward a microservices architecture: clear service boundaries, contracts, and inter-service communication. · Own the full lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, testing, and production support. · Maintain a clean, layered architecture and strong engineering standards. Technical Leadership & Collaboration · Provide technical direction and mentorship; lead design discussions for complex AI features. · Partner with product, data, and DevOps teams to ship scalable solutions. · Document architecture and decisions clearly for a distributed team. Required Qualifications · 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong recent backend experience (Python preferred). · Proven experience building production LLM / AI applications — RAG, agents, or similar — not just prototypes. · Solid grasp of modern AI building blocks: embeddings, vector and hybrid search, prompt engineering, tool calling, and evaluation. · Strong backend fundamentals: API design, asynchronous/concurrent programming, databases, and distributed-system architecture. · Comfortable learning and adopting new languages, frameworks, and runtimes as the platform evolves. · Working familiarity with containers and Kubernetes — enough to deploy, run, and debug model-serving workloads for evaluation (deep cluster operations are owned by DevOps). · Experience leading technical initiatives and mentoring engineers. · Comfortable in Agile, distributed teams. Desired / Nice to Have · Knowledge-graph–backed retrieval (GraphRAG) and graph databases · Natural-language-to-SQL / structured-data querying over enterprise sources · Self-hosting and serving of open LLMs on modern inference runtimes · LLM routing / gateway layers across multiple providers · Explainable AI and model evaluation framework · Self-hosting and serving of open LLMs on modern inference runtimes · LLM routing / gateway layers across multiple providers · Explainable AI and model evaluation frameworks · Vector databases and object storage · Workflow-orchestration platforms for durable, long-running processes · Microservices design and inter-service communication patterns · Familiarity with GitOps / service-mesh environments (operated by DevOps — useful context, not a requirement) · Observability and performance profiling Preferred Experience · Building AI features in an enterprise SaaS or platform-product organization. · Working in AI/innovation-focused teams pushing toward agentic systems. · Experience evolving a system toward microservices and/or polyglot stacks. · Collaborating across international, distributed engineering teams.

About Complexio Complexio is the intelligence layer for enterprise AI. Our platform builds a connected understanding of how businesses actually operate - across people, processes, and systems. Enterprises have invested heavily in AI platforms, copilots, and data infrastructure - yet daily work still runs on manual hand-offs and thousands of unseen tasks buried in emails, chats, and spreadsheets. Complexio closes that automation gap. Our Event Knowledge Graph ingests structured and unstructured data to create a living map of how an organisation truly works - every task, interaction, and dependency. Our Context Broker unifies this knowledge across enterprise systems in real time, enabling our Orchestration layer and Enterprise Automator to discover, design, and execute workflows autonomously. Stevie, our conversational AI assistant, gives teams a natural way to query and act on that intelligence. Complexio deploys securely within your infrastructure and integrates with the enterprise platforms you already run on - turning organisational knowledge into measurable business outcomes. A joint venture between Hafnia and Símbolo, backed by leading maritime partners including Marfin Management, C Transport Maritime, Trans Sea Transport, and BW Epic Kosan. Born in maritime, now scaling rapidly across industries. We are now onboarding enterprise customers globally, with a platform built to handle the pace and complexity of real business operations. Role Purpose Enterprise organisations do not buy software - they fund outcomes. The Value Engineer exists to make the connection between Complexio's platform capabilities and the specific, quantified business outcomes each customer cares about, at every stage of the relationship. Value engineering as a discipline has become a defining commercial capability at the world's leading enterprise software companies. ServiceNow built a global Value Engineering practice to justify platform ROI at scale. Celonis pioneered value engineering in the process mining space, making quantified process improvement the centrepiece of every enterprise deal. SAP's Value Advisors and Salesforce's Business Value Consultants have made the ability to prove financial return a standard expectation in enterprise software procurement. Complexio is building this capability now - at the stage where it will have the most impact on commercial outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of business consulting, commercial strategy, and deep operational understanding. You are not a sales support function. You are an independent, credible business advisor who earns the trust of customer CFOs, COOs, and operational leadership by doing rigorous work - identifying where value is being lost, modelling what recovery is worth, and demonstrating with evidence what Complexio has actually delivered. Key Responsibilities Value Discovery & Business Case Development • Lead structured value discovery engagements with prospective customers - working with operational, financial, and technology stakeholders to identify and quantify the cost of their current automation gap, • Map customer operational workflows to Complexio's platform capabilities, identifying the specific processes, hand-offs, and inefficiencies where the EKG, Context Broker, Enterprise Automator, and Stevie create measurable impact, • Translate business case outputs into executive-ready materials - CFO-grade financial models, board-level summaries, and ROI one-pagers that withstand scrutiny from finance and procurement stakeholders, • Validate assumptions with customers through structured interviews, data analysis, and process observation - never building a business case on hypotheticals that will be challenged at approval Pre-Sales Value Engagement • Partner with Sales, Client Directors, and Solutions Consultants in enterprise sales cycles - joining customer engagements specifically to lead the value and business case workstream, • Run executive value workshops with customer C-suite and operational leadership - structured sessions that move from pain identification through to quantified opportunity in a single engagement, • Produce deal-specific value narratives and ROI models that are calibrated to each customer's operational context, financial metrics, and internal approval process, • Equip the sales team with reusable value frameworks, benchmark data, and industry-specific ROI models that accelerate deal cycles across similar customer profiles, • Support commercial proposal development by providing the financial and business value content that underpins pricing, contract structure, and deal terms Post-Sale Value Realisation • Own the value realisation framework for Complexio's customer base - defining how value is tracked, measured, and reported from deployment through to steady-state operation, • Establish baseline metrics with customers at the point of deployment - agreeing the operational and financial KPIs against which Complexio's impact will be measured Value Benchmarking & Market Intelligence • Build and maintain Complexio's value benchmark library - a structured, continuously updated repository of outcome data across customers, sectors, use cases, and platform capabilities, • Develop sector-specific value models for Complexio's primary markets - maritime operations, energy trading, industrial workflow management - grounded in real customer data and validated against industry benchmarks, • Track and analyse how value accrues over time across the customer base - identifying which deployment patterns, use cases, and adoption sequences drive the fastest and largest outcomes, • Monitor competitive value positioning - understanding how Complexio's ROI profile compares to alternatives including Microsoft Copilot, Celonis, and incumbent manual processes Internal Value Enablement • Build and maintain a value engineering toolkit accessible to the broader commercial team - including value discovery frameworks, ROI calculators, benchmark data packs, and executive presentation templates, • Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure that Complexio's platform instrumentation supports value measurement - advocating for the telemetry, reporting, and analytics capabilities that make value realisation visible to customers, • Feed value data and customer outcome evidence back into Complexio's product prioritisation process - ensuring the roadmap is guided by where the platform creates the most demonstrable impact Executive & C-Suite Engagement • Engage directly with CFOs, COOs, and operational leadership as a credible, independent business advisor - not as a vendor representative, • Lead or co-lead executive value presentations and business case reviews at board and C-suite level - with the financial and operational rigour to withstand challenge from sophisticated buyers, • Shadow Co-CEOs and the CRO in strategic customer engagements as required - providing the value and ROI narrative in high-stakes commercial discussions, • Build long-term advisory relationships with senior customer stakeholders that extend beyond individual deals and create durable commercial anchors What We're Looking For Essential • 6+ years in a value engineering, value advisory, business value consulting, or management consulting role - ideally with direct experience in enterprise software, process automation, or AI/data platform contexts, • Demonstrable experience building and presenting rigorous business cases and ROI models to C-suite and finance stakeholders - models that have withstood scrutiny and influenced major investment decisions, • Strong financial modelling capability - comfortable building NPV, IRR, and payback analyses from first principles and translating operational data into financial outcomes, • Deep understanding of how large enterprises make investment decisions - approval processes, financial hurdle rates, competing priorities, and the politics of internal sponsorship Desirable Experience in the maritime, shipping, energy, or industrial sectors - operational familiarity with voyage management, fleet operations, chartering, trading, or supply chain workflows Experience with process mining, workflow analytics, or operational intelligence tools - and the ability to use data outputs to construct value narratives Familiarity with AI automation economics - understanding how to model labour displacement, error reduction, and decision acceleration in organisations adopting AI-driven workflows Experience building value benchmark databases and sector-specific ROI frameworks from scratch Who You Are Rigorous and credible - your business cases are built on real data, sound assumptions, and transparent methodology; you do not overstate value and you do not produce numbers that collapse under scrutiny A skilled interviewer and listener - you can run a discovery session with a COO or a fleet manager and extract the operational detail you need to build a credible model, without making them feel interrogated Commercially motivated - you understand that your work directly enables revenue and you take that seriously; you are not an academic analyst, you are a commercial contributor Independently minded - you are willing to tell a customer or a sales team that a use case does not meet the value threshold, because your credibility depends on honesty, not optimism • A strong writer and presenter - you produce executive materials that are clear, well-structured, and visually compelling; you do not hide weak analysis behind impressive slides, • Intellectually curious about how industries operate - you find genuine interest in understanding how a maritime shipping company makes money, where it loses it, and what operational changes move the needle, • A builder - Complexio does not yet have a mature value engineering function; you are excited by the opportunity to create the frameworks, tools, and benchmarks that will define how the company communicates value at scale

We’ve also been recognized by CB Insights as one of the 100 most promising AI companies globally and have been named one of LinkedIn’s Top 10 Startups in the USA. Who We're Looking For A year ago, reliably working agentic systems and sub-second multimodal inference at scale barely existed. Nobody has a decade of experience here. So we're not screening for a resume template — we're looking for strong people from varied backgrounds who learn fast, thrive in ambiguity, and can show us what they've built, broken, and understood. Experience We Find Useful You don't need all of this. But you need enough to make a case. • Inference Optimization. Deep understanding of modern serving frameworks and techniques like vLLM or TRT-LLM., • Model Acceleration. Hands-on experience with quantization, distillation, caching strategies , continuous batching, paged attention, and speculative decoding., • High-Performance Systems. Proficiency in C++, CUDA, Rust, or highly optimized Python. You know how to profile code and squeeze every ounce of performance out of NVIDIA GPUs., • Distributed Systems & Scaling. Experience with Kubernetes, Ray, custom load balancing, multi-GPU/multi-node inference, and reliably handling thousands of concurrent connections., • Public work. Non-trivial systems programming projects, open-source contributions to major inference engines, or deep-dive technical write-ups., • Full-cycle ownership. You can take a model from the research team, containerize it, optimize its serving, and ensure it runs reliably in production., • Background. PhD in CS, Physics, Math, or equivalent practical experience building backend or ML systems. Who Thrives Here • You don’t need a roadmap to start walking; you’re comfortable picking a direction and building the map as you go., • You believe engineering isn't finished until it’s shipped and stable.
