Who we're looking for
We don’t believe in defining strict requirements for any role. In fact, we are quite open-minded about the type of candidates we want to meet. However, we are an early-stage company so it’s important that we tell you more about the expectations we have for this role so that you can understand whether you’d feel fulfilled and energised to come work every day:
- A minimum of 2 years work experience with nature-based projects (e.g. REDD+, ARR, IFM, wetlands, peatlands, soil, biodiversity or others) across different carbon standards, preferably with some experience in financial planning and structuring
- Good understanding of GHG emission reductions and removal standards and methodologies, in particular VCS, CAR, Gold Standard and Plan Vivo is considered an advantage
- University degree in a relevant field (e.g. Environmental Science, Sustainability, Finance, Economics) or a broader field with evidence of an interest in environmental or sustainability issues is preferred
