One Tree Planted is a US-based non-profit that plants trees around the world to help combat climate change, conserve biodiversity, restore landscapes, and strengthen communities. We act as a catalyst and conduit for individuals and businesses to help reduce their carbon footprint and meet their corporate social responsibility objectives. One Tree Planted is looking for a dynamic individual to add to our fast growing team. The CarbonSpecialist’s primary responsibility will be to lead the assessment of carbon sequestration attributes of our reforestation projects. This will require an understanding of the technical complexities surrounding carbon, which ranges from the calculation of carbon sequestration values for making soft claims to policies and procedures to meet certified and/or verified carbon. The specialist will also communicate the complexities of carbon verification in simple terms to donors and partners.

• Develop and implement a process for assessing the carbon sequestration values of One TreePlanted reforestation projects
• Prepare the appropriate documentation to report on the carbon sequestration values and workwith auditors to implement third party verification, as appropriate
• Participate in discussions with donors to describe the challenges and opportunities of pursuingvarious carbon verification options
• Contribute to the formulation of One Tree Planted’s Carbon Policy
