Climate Neutral is a fast growing tech nonprofit working to mobilize trillions of dollars of individual purchasing power to get companies to eliminate carbon emissions. We manage a Standard for climate neutrality, and we provide tools to spark ambitious corporate climate initiatives. Companies that achieve our certification can use the Climate Neutral Certified label, which motivates climate action by businesses and individuals.

We envision a world where all people demand accountable climate action from their employers and the companies whose products and services they choose.

The Role

We're looking for a highly motivated leader to join our team as Manager of Standards. Our work intersects with countless standards and methodologies in corporate sustainability, ESG, carbon measurement, the voluntary carbon market, and more. Your job would be to be our internal subject matter expert on these many frameworks.

This is an exciting cross-functional role within our highly collaborative and passionate team.

‍Your Responsibilities

1. Ensure alignment with international standards and regulations. Follow the fast-moving developments in international standards for net-zero, carbon neutrality, GHG measurement & reporting, carbon offsetting, science-aligned reductions, climate claims, and other climate-related activities. 
2. Advocate for our Standard externally with key audiences through marketing, communications, events, and direct 1:1 outreach.
3. Manage the annual stakeholder review of our Standard. Lead our two external advisory committees as they provide input on potential changes to our Standard. Define agenda, recruit participants, manage discussions. Lead a general/public stakeholder comment process. Present recommendations to our Board.
4. Create and deliver content for marketing campaigns, education, advocacy, white papers, and other communications to build awareness of and support for our impact model.
5. Research and create new frameworks for analysis and benchmarking. Explore new ways of analyzing and tracking GHG reduction progress. Develop promising ideas into program additions.
6. Participate in, conceive, and/or lead external working groups. This could involve joining existing initiatives as our lead representative, or launching new ones.
7. Lead company-facing workshops and produce and contribute to subject matter content. Working with our program leads, serve as a standards & methodology resource to our brand community.
8. Contribute to development of key partnerships and recruitment of new certified brands.
