Requirements
• 4-7 years of experience in project management, product management, product operations, consulting, or a generalist business role, ideally in a startup, growth-stage company, infrastructure, or climate-adjacent environment • Demonstrated track record of building and managing cross-functional workflows and keeping diverse teams aligned toward a common deliverable - you keep all the trains running on time • Experience preparing reporting or materials that synthesize complex operational activities for investors, project finance partners, or senior leadership • A business builder mindset - you understand how operational excellence connects to commercial outcomes and are motivated by the challenge of scaling something that matters • Exceptional organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail - you are the kind of person who builds the system, not just follows it • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical or complex information into clear, actionable narratives for both internal teams and external stakeholders • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and creating structure where it doesn't yet exist • A collaborative, team-first orientation - you are energized by helping others do their best work, not just by doing your own • Mission-aligned and genuinely curious about carbon projects, natural climate solutions, and the challenge of developing high-integrity environmental assets at scale • Experience in carbon markets, natural resource management, environmental finance, or climate-related project development is a plus, but not required • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in business, environmental science, economics, or a related field; MBA or graduate degree a plus but not required • $115,000 - $150,000 a year • This is not a typical project management job. You will sit at the center of one of the most ambitious reforestation and carbon removal programs in the country, with direct exposure to investor relationships, project finance, and the full arc of how carbon projects get developed, registered, and monetized. For the right person, this is a foundational career opportunity: the kind of role that sharpens your strategic instincts, builds your commercial toolkit, and puts you in rooms that matter. We are a small, high-trust team, and your work will be visible from day one. • Living Carbon PBC offers competitive compensation and generous healthcare, dental, and vision insurance.
