Executive Search Services for Clean Technology.

Specialist executive search for clean tech and climate innovation, delivered by true sector experts.

Specialist Talent Acquisition for Clean Technology.

Clean technology is moving from the lab to large-scale deployment, and that shift demands bold, commercially minded leadership.

At Net Zero Search, we help clean tech investors and founders build the senior teams that take technical innovation and turn it into market-leading businesses.

From Series A scale-ups to $1B+ growth platforms, we place the executives who combine sector passion with operational excellence.

No junior researchers. No generic processes. Just partner-led search that moves at the pace of innovation.

We support a global client base across the Clean Technology landscape.

Who We Work With.

  • Venture Capital Firms backing breakthrough tech across carbon removal, grid optimisation, AI for climate, and more

  • Private Equity Funds scaling platform investments in clean tech and digital infrastructure

  • Founders and Scale-Up CEOs hiring commercial and technical leadership to unlock growth

  • Portfolio Companies in climate software, hardware, sensors, IoT, and automation

  • Energy and Industrial Corporates acquiring or building out clean innovation arms

We specialise in senior leadership recruitment across product, engineering, commercial, strategy, and operations, connecting high-growth clean tech with the talent to scale.

You’re not hiring a logo. You’re hiring outcomes. So ask yourself: is your current search partner actually delivering value? Or are they just a big name you use to cover yourself when the hire underdelivers?

Don’t Overpay for Mediocrity. Traditional search firms aren’t built for Clean Tech or Climate Innovation hiring.

Traditional Search Firms:

  • Charge 30–50% of total comp

  • Start every search from zero

  • Hand off delivery to junior researchers

  • Limited by restrictive hands-off agreements

Ready to Make a Strategic Clean Tech Hire?

We don’t follow the rules of traditional executive search because they don’t work for dynamic, innovation-led sectors like clean technology.

At Net Zero Search, we deliver fast, sector-led, and outcome-driven hiring solutions that are built around your goals, not ours.

If you’re serious about scaling leadership in climate tech, software, or sustainable innovation, we offer:

  • Direct access to the top clean tech talent shaping the energy transition

  • Searches delivered by actual experts—not researchers

  • Flexible, long-term pricing models that save you six figures and deliver real ROI

We are the go-to executive search partner for clean technology, trusted by the investors and operators building the future of sustainable innovation.
