The Role:
Pachama is looking for a Technical Carbon Operations Lead to help develop new forest carbon projects and provide technical diligence and support for partner developed projects. In this role you’ll be responsible, alongside our Origination Operations team, for executing the quantitative and geospatial analysis tasks necessary for successfully implementing projects and optimizing the design of new projects to ensure high quality and accurate carbon accounting. You will lead the execution of various field data collection efforts, geospatial analyses, calculation of carbon benefits, and other tasks necessary to ensure compliance with applicable methodologies and validation/verification standards.
You would be excited about this role if you love the idea of rolling up your sleeves and using your deep technical and scientific background in an applied role that achieves on-the-ground outcomes. You have a demonstrated interest in climate tech, experience implementing or verifying forest carbon projects, exceptional quantitative and geospatial analytical skills, and a hunger for impact.
Location: This role is fully remote. However a location in the US, Mexico or Brazil is preferred given that some travel to project sites will be required. Experience working in Brazil and other parts of Latin America is a plus.
