Burlington, United States Wildlife Works Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAbout Wildlife Works

Wildlife Works is a community-centered conservation company that implements market-based initiatives to protect the planet’s threatened wilderness and endangered wildlife. The company was founded on the premise that if we want wildlife in our world, it must work for local communities who share their environment. Wildlife Works’ conservation projects drive direct financing to forest communities to fund their own economic development, while preventing millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere annually.

Job Summary

The Manager - Geospatial Science will oversee the geographic science, analysis, and reporting tasks as they relate to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting, supporting the delivery of best-in-class carbon credits across all Wildlife Works’ projects and partnerships. The role requires a candidate with extensive experience in remote sensing, adept in land use/land cover change analysis, cartography, and the remote sensing of biomass change. The ideal candidate will have firsthand experience with large-scale emissions estimation, disturbance monitoring, and risk mapping, and a familiarity with REDD+ project and program standards, particularly in forest and biodiversity conservation. Both academic achievements and practical experience with tangible outcomes are vital for this position.

The role also involves leading a growing team of geospatial analysts across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America and requires efficient collaboration with national governments and their donors to meet the project's objectives. The position is based in Wildlife Works’ Burlington, Vermont office and preference will be given to candidates located in, or willing to relocate to, Burlington. However, candidates may optionally be based in North Carolina or California. Wildlife Works operates on a market-based solution to climate change, emphasizing community partnerships; thus, the suitable candidate should align with these principles.

Responsibilities:

· Lead remote sensing projects focused on GHG accounting, land cover change analysis, and carbon stock & change evaluation.

· Manage an international geospatial team for geospatial project execution, including remote sensing and GIS data acquisition, processing, and reporting.

· Innovate in remote sensing techniques to improve GHG accounting, in collaboration with technology partners.

· Stay updated on remote sensing technology to support accurate baseline setting and monitoring, reporting and verification.
