Methodology and Regulatory Projects Lead

Unlocking the full potential of forests, both ecologically and emotionally.

Your Mission

Note on Scope and Flexibility

This is a broad, cross-functional role. If you see yourself as a strong fit for a specific part of the responsibilities (e.g. biodiversity, methodology development, or regulatory strategy), we still encourage you to apply. We’re open to shaping this role around the right person, including part-time setups or splitting the responsibilities across multiple hires.

Key Responsibilities

Regulatory & Standards Landscape
Monitor and interpret emerging trends in carbon standards, EU regulations (e.g. CSRD, EU CRCF), and national climate policies relevant to our projects and buyers.

Methodology Projects
Lead or support the development, comparison, and application of methodologies for our portfolio of forestry projects. This includes working closely with forestry professionals and academics, as well as our partners at Wald-Klimaschutz Schweiz, to further develop our offering of carbon credits.

Strategic Special Projects
Manage one-off or cross-functional initiatives – e.g. launching pilot projects with partners, supporting R&D efforts, public funding proposals or contributing to industry consultations.

Product-Market Fit
Translate regulatory and methodological requirements into inputs for our digital products (e.g. Project Design Studio, Registry, Impact Dashboard), working closely with product, data, sales and design teams.

Partnerships & Representation
Represent our perspective in industry working groups and at conferences. Foster relationships with key stakeholders, including policymakers, standard setters, and project partners.
