This is a cross-functional role requiring strong scientific grounding, precision writing skills, and the ability to manage processes across technical, operations, and commercial teams.

Roles and Responsibilities:

  • Create missing appendices, standard operating procedures, diagrams, and data summaries.
  • Coordinate inputs across teams. Set timelines. Drive review and approval to completion.
  • Maintain a structured answer library and a client-ready document repository. Keep language and facts consistent across proposals, contracts, and project materials.
  • Lead or support grant applications. Align writing with reviewer criteria and commercial goals.

  • 5 to 10 years working on smallholder regenerative agriculture and/or agroforestry in Africa or Asia.
  • Proven technical writing for due-diligence processes, project design documents, monitoring reports, or proposal responses. Provide writing samples.
  • Successful grant writing or proposal leadership with measurable funding results.
  • Strong understanding of nature-based carbon projects: baselines, additionality, permanence, leakage, and risk buffers.
  • Working knowledge of soil carbon and biomass measurement, monitoring, reporting, verification, and sampling design.
  • Able to read agronomy data and remote-sensing outputs and turn them into concise, defensible claims.
  • Sound business judgment. Presents benefits, costs, and risks without exaggeration.
  • Reliable process habits: structured intake, targeted requests to experts, careful citation, and disciplined document management.
  • Excellent written English.

Preferred

  • Experience with Verra, Gold Standard, or Plan Vivo, including auditor interactions.
  • Experience writing standard operating procedures for field protocols, quality assurance, and quality control.
  • Familiarity with working in India.
