Introduction

IBM Sustainability Software helps companies achieve their sustainability goals by infusing data with AI into daily operations enabled by expertise to deliver profit and purpose. This happens in five core areas: sustainability strategy, data, and reporting; energy transition and climate resilience; intelligent assets, facilities, and infrastructure; responsible computing and green IT; and sustainable supply chains and circularity. Each of these areas requires collecting data, making it visible and usable, and then acting on that data to drive sustainability outcomes. IBM offers a strong set of tools and products to support clients in their sustainability journey.

 

As a product manager for Geospatial AI within the IBM Environmental Intelligence product, you will drive the integration of geospatial models and development of tools and processes that enable developers to build custom models.
