Things you’ll do in this role:
Define and refine MRV protocols for soil based carbon storage in both regenerative agriculture systems and other ecosystems (grasslands, forests, etc…)

This role isn’t for you if:
You want a remote job. We value in-person collaboration and spend three days a week in the office.
You prefer staying within your area of expertise and operating in structured environments. We navigate ambiguity at extreme pace and everyone is a generalist.
You’re looking for a short term gig. We’re building for the long term and looking for people ready to grow with us for 5-10 years.
