Position: Project Manager (Carbon Removal)

Location: San Francisco (with global travel to project locations)

About Us:

Terradot is building a global measurement report and verification (MRV) platform to accelerate high-integrity carbon removal and storage around the world. With Stanford’s Soil and Environmental Biogeochemistry Lab, we leverage technological innovation using ground truth sampling, remote sensing, and biogeochemical modeling to measure soil carbon accurately at scale. For carbon project developers, Terradot decreases the time, cost, and complexity of MRV while increasing the integrity of the carbon removal credits for carbon buyers. This enables large-scale deployment of climate finance to incentivize the adoption of practices that remove carbon from the atmosphere.

We are a public-benefit corporation driven by passion and purpose in service to our planet, people, and prosperity. Terradot is backed by world-class investors including Floodgate, John Doerr, Kleiner Perkins, Sheryl Sandberg, Ponderosa Ventures, 776 Foundation (Alexis Ohanian), George Roberts, and Stanford’s TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy. We are advised by an all-star team of Stanford climate professors with 100,000+ citations collectively.
