🌳 What we do

Pina Earth enables forest owners to access carbon markets the easy way. We build software that automatically assesses forests and simulates its future development to allow us to quantify carbon stock changes over time. Forest owners can store additional carbon in their forests by adopting sustainable forest management practices. Each additional ton of carbon stored generates a "carbon credit". By investing in forest carbon projects, companies contribute to climate protection. Through the sale of carbon credits, forest owners benefit from a recurring income that is reinvested to create diverse, climate-resilient forests.

😲 About the opportunity

As one of our first full-time team members, you work directly with the founders in this high impact role to help us protect more forests. Your tasks as Forest Carbon Project Manager are both strategic and operational:

On the one hand, you develop the certification criteria and thus ensure that we deliver on the impact of our forest projects. On the other hand, you implement projects and automate processes. You are the single source of truth regarding the status of a forest carbon project under development, you drive data collection and ensure project quality. This can mean e.g. getting info from our tech team about carbon calculations, tapping into various data sources to perform a standardized project risk assessment, or supporting the building of our internal project management platform with low-code tools to automate as many tasks as possible.

It is a diverse role, with a lot of impact! 🌟

✅ Your responsibilities

Central goals of your role are:

Owning and driving the project development process to ensure Pina Earth can make as much forest area as possible climate-resilient
Building a data-driven, scalable certification process to be able to execute many projects at a high-quality with as little manual effort as possible
Establishing a certification methodology that ensures long-term climate impact and is trusted by key market players

Your key tasks include:

Getting new forest projects live: After our sales team signs a forest area, you take over and collaborate with forest owners, our tech team and in-house forest expert to guide the project through the certification process
Representing Pina Earth to external certification partners, such as the Wald-Klimastandard, TÜV or the DVNE to drive our methodology recognition
Planning & implementing parts of our methodology (e.g. risk analysis) and certification platform (e.g. internal management of projects)
Monitoring key developments of regulatory bodies regarding carbon projects (e.g. EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework, EU Green Claims Directive, Gold Standard, Verra) to open up new opportunities for Pina
