Carbon Development Technical Director overseeing agroforestry carbon projects from feasibility to issuance. Ensuring technical rigor while driving robust systems and infrastructure for nature-based solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Provide senior technical oversight across the full carbon project lifecycle, from feasibility through validation, verification and issuance, ensuring alignment with registry requirements and organizational impact objectives
  • Develop and manage technical delivery roadmaps that identify analytical dependencies, data requirements, key risks, and mitigation strategies, balancing methodological rigor with field-practical implementation
  • Oversee feasibility assessments, baseline scenario development, and spatial analyses to inform project scale, boundary definition, and long-term crediting viability
  • Translate complex methodological requirements into operationally actionable guidance for field teams, MEL staff, and GIS analysts
  • Guide, review, and stress-test consultant-led technical analyses, ensuring approaches are scientifically robust, conservative, and appropriate to project risk
  • Advise on which technical components TREES should build in-house versus where specialized external carbon support is required

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Forestry, Natural Resources, Environmental Science, GIS or a related field; Master’s degree preferred
  • Minimum 5–7 years of experience in forest or agroforestry carbon project development
  • Experience developing projects using ARR and/or IFM methodologies, including baseline setting, monitoring design, uncertainty management, stratification, and growth or biomass modeling considerations (concept through issuance strongly preferred)
  • Experience advising GIS and spatial analysis teams, with working knowledge of tools such as ArcGIS, QGIS, and remote sensing platforms

Benefits:

  • comprehensive medical insurance
  • workers' compensation
  • retirement
  • substantial paid time off, including annual leave and sick leave
