  • At least 10 years of experience designing and implementing donor-funded projects. Strong preference for experience with USAID, World Bank, Department of State, and bilateral and multi-lateral funding mechanisms as it relates to forestry and natural resource projects.
  • At least four years of overseas experience with technical and/or operational issues related to GHG accounting and forests, or related issues strongly preferred. Experience working in developing countries is required.
  • Experience developing, mentoring, and managing teams of technical staff.
  • Experience leading complex technical projects with a diverse team of staff and consultants.
  • Experience in the development of Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) projects and/or programs in the voluntary and/or compliance carbon market preferred. Experience identifying and implementing financial mechanisms for REDD+.
  • Demonstrated experience in research and public communication on technical issues, including peer-reviewed publications.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Strong analytical capability and problem-solving abilities required.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills are required, including effective public speaking and the ability to communicate complex issues both verbally and in written form.
  • Ability to foster and maintain good working relationships with clients and partners, including government ministries and officials at national and local levels, non-profit organizations, the private sector, foundations, multilateral organizations, and the U.S. Government.
  • Understanding of GHG emissions quantification methods, carbon credit project development, and/or other sustainability product certification standards.
  • Proficiency in using Microsoft Office software, including Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Advanced proficiency in Excel is preferred.
  • Fluency in English; fluency in a language in addition to English is strongly preferred.
