About SuperHuman Race
In 2016, we started imagining a world where 'good' is valued and rewarded. Based on this lofty mission of
making the world a better place, powered by human kindness, we started looking for our answers in data
and technology. At the SuperHuman Race, we take pride in using creativity and data to solve
intersections. In working out these solutions, we discover the engineers, the architects, and the authors
that live and breathe deep inside the colorful fabric of society. At the core of the SuperHuman Race is the
belief that while good work is important and aspiring to make an impact is necessary, it cannot be
sustainable unless it is also fun!
About DEFINE
DEFINE is our AI-powered climate-intelligence system that transforms how industrial operations measure,
verify, and act on emissions. Our award-winning platform has been globally recognised for replacing
static, survey-based emission factors with dynamic, real-time, asset-level intelligence generated directly
from factories, production lines and value-chain activities. By integrating operational data, sensor signals,
geospatial inputs, and machine-learning models, DEFINE creates primary-data-driven emission factors
that reflect actual technology configurations, process parameters, and energy mixes inside plants.
Job Summary
Steel is one of the world's hardest-to-abate sectors - and one of the most critical to decarbonise. As a
Steel Sector Expert at SuperHumanRace, you will lead DEFINE's Steel Sector Engagement, bringing deep
domain knowledge of steel manufacturing to shape how our AI tools model, measure, and reduce
emissions across the steel value chain.
You will work at the intersection of industrial expertise, climate intelligence, and stakeholder engagement
- collaborating with DEFINE's national and global partners, advising clients on net zero pathways, and
ensuring that DEFINE's models accurately reflect the realities of modern and legacy steel production.
Think of yourself as the steel sector's voice inside our platform - someone who can walk a plant manager
through their emissions profile in the morning, and present decarbonisation roadmaps to a board of
directors in the afternoon.
Key Responsibilities
Steel Sector Engagement & Advisory
● Lead DEFINE's engagements with steel manufacturers, associations, and industry stakeholders at
the national and global level.
● Serve as the primary domain expert for steel sector clients - advising on decarbonisation
strategies, net zero roadmaps, and emission reduction levers relevant to their specific process
configurations.
● Map steel manufacturing processes (blast furnace, DRI-EAF, scrap-based routes, etc.) onto
DEFINE's climate intelligence models to ensure accurate, plant-specific emission factors.
Net Zero Roadmap Development
● Develop and review net zero roadmaps for steel clients, covering technology transitions (e.g.,
green hydrogen, carbon capture, electrification), fuel switching, and operational efficiency
improvements.
● Benchmark client operations against national and international standards (BEE, SteelZero, TCFD,
SBTi) and identify gaps and opportunities.
● Translate technical decarbonisation pathways into actionable implementation plans that are
feasible within client-specific constraints.
Platform Integration & Data Quality
● Work with the DEFINE product and data science teams to configure steel-sector emission
models, validate primary data from plant operations, and improve model accuracy.
● Guide clients and on-site data teams in capturing relevant process data - energy consumption,
raw material inputs, production parameters - to feed into DEFINE's models.
● Ensure data collected from steel plants meets quality, completeness, and audit-readiness
standards required for credible carbon accounting.
Thought Leadership & Partner Collaboration
● Contribute to whitepapers, policy briefs, and sector reports that position SHR as a credible voice
in steel decarbonisation.
● Represent DEFINE at industry forums, conferences, and working groups focused on hard-to-abate
sector decarbonisation.
● Collaborate with SHR's national and global partners - research institutions, technology providers,
industry associations - to keep DEFINE's steel models at the frontier of sector knowledge.
What does the Ideal Candidate Look Like?
We don't need you to have done this exact job before. We need you to be the kind of person who:
★ Knows steel - not just the buzzwords, but the actual processes, the trade-offs, and the real
barriers to decarbonisation on the floor.
★ Gets excited when a plant's emission intensity drops because of a decision you helped shape.
★ Can move fluidly between a technical conversation with a plant engineer and a strategic one with
a Chief Sustainability Officer.
★ Sees AI and data tools as force multipliers for your domain expertise, not as threats to it.
★ Cares about the energy transition - not because it's the job, but because you genuinely want to
see heavy industry decarbonise.
Qualifications
Required
● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials
Science, Environmental Science, or a related field.
● 8 to 10 years of experience in steel manufacturing, industrial operations, or sustainability
consulting focused on the steel or heavy industry sector.
● Deep technical knowledge of steel production processes - blast furnace/BOF, DRI/EAF, scrap-EAF,
and associated energy and emissions profiles.
● Strong understanding of carbon accounting methodologies, emission factors, and industrial
decarbonisation frameworks.
● Excellent communication skills - able to produce clear written reports and present complex
findings to diverse audiences.
● Comfort working with data and digital tools; willingness to engage with AI-powered platforms.
Preferred
● Experience developing or reviewing net zero roadmaps or decarbonisation strategies for steel or
allied heavy industries.
● Consulting experience in industrial sustainability, energy efficiency, or climate strategy for the
steel sector.
● Familiarity with national and international frameworks: BEE PAT Scheme, SteelZero, SBTi for
industry, TCFD, or equivalent.
● Exposure to carbon markets, green steel certification schemes, or low-carbon procurement
standards.
● Experience engaging with industry associations, policy bodies, or multilateral climate initiatives.
● Prior experience with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ERP, or industrial data platforms.
