Living Carbon is a public benefit company with a mission to fight climate change by transforming marginal land into high-value environmental assets. Our team specializes in restoring abandoned mineland and degraded agricultural land into diverse, thriving forests. We’re backed by prominent investors including Temasek, Toyota Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Felicis Ventures, and YCombinator. This is a rare role at the intersection of forest ecology, carbon science, and large-scale land restoration. We are seeking a practitioner-scientist who brings rigorous training, ideally in a research context, to the field and can translate ecological insight into operational outcomes. You will support forest carbon project design and implementation, guiding both strategy and hands-on field execution across our growing Appalachian and Southeastern project portfolio. The ideal candidate has a grounding in forest carbon dynamics, disturbance ecology, or related fields - potentially demonstrated through graduate research - and is energized by the challenge of applying that expertise at scale in the real world. You will spearhead project management of reforestation activities on degraded mine land and agricultural sites. Your responsibilities will include field reconnaissance, GIS analysis, contractor coordination/supervision and data reporting. You will work directly alongside our carbon science, supply chain, and land teams to build systems, shape methodology, and most importantly put trees in the ground.
