We are seeking a highly proactive Lead to join our Land Partnerships team. Living Carbon is reforesting lands across the Eastern US, particularly degraded coal mine and agricultural lands, with the goal of achieving positive outcomes for the environment, local communities, and landowners. You will be responsible for identifying, engaging and educating, and onboarding new landowners to build high-quality forest carbon projects with us. We are looking for someone with a creative mindset and strong community engagement skills, who can build long-lasting relationships with private owners, land trusts, nonprofits, corporates, government agencies, and tribal nations.

Your key activities in this role will be landowner outreach and engagement, educating them about Living Carbon forest carbon programs, aligning relevant stakeholders, and negotiating and closing commercial deals. You will work with a world-class internal team of land agents, foresters, carbon scientists, GIS specialists, and commercial strategists.

This role requires a candidate who can clearly and effectively communicate with both external partners and internal teams in a collaborative manner. A successful candidate will think creatively about project opportunities and strive to find win-win solutions for all stakeholders involved. You are empathetic to the problems others face, a good listener, and a team player and would be described as “willing to do what it takes to get the job done”.

This role will report to our Senior Manager of Land Partnerships.

We highly encourage diverse candidates to apply and contact us with any questions about the application process.
