  • Originating, negotiating and managing agreements with credible partners (such as landowners, NGOs, commercial developers and agents across the UK)

  • Carrying out due diligence on opportunities, working with technical specialists as needed, to assess project/partnership viability and integrity

  • Keeping abreast of changes in the funding, regulatory and Code landscapes in order to identify new commercial opportunities

Reporting into the Director of Nature Based Solutions, we are looking for a dynamic, commercially-minded individual to seek out and secure project and partnership opportunities. You will be at the centre of the propositions driving growth in this highly innovative and rapidly evolving market.

You will have:

  • Significant experience in a relevant role, with a strong commercial acumen

  • Track record in managing commercial agreements with experience risk evaluation and financial analysis

  • Understanding of the voluntary carbon market and the key principles of Nature Based Solutions

  • Experience working with local implementation partners such as NGOs and private companies
