About Us
Isometric is the world’s most trusted carbon registry. We issue scientifically rigorous carbon credits to help Fortune 100 companies avoid greenwashing while tackling climate change.
Our customers include Google, Meta, J.P. Morgan, McKinsey and Microsoft.
We're growing quickly, but we’re intentional about hiring people who contribute to our unique culture. Our team is smart, meticulous and courageous—but warm, kind and supportive too.
We’re looking for doers with a bias to action. If you want to join a company that gets important stuff done quickly, with no drama—then let us know.
Tackling climate change at Isometric is a career-defining role.
Working here will be unlike any job you've had before.
Things you’ll do in this role:
Take ownership and accountability for getting stuff done. Manage internal and external project activities related to terrestrial biomass carbon storage, anticipating commercial needs and planning accordingly. Work directly with terrestrial biomass carbon storage suppliers to understand their processes and care about our customers.
Design and refine Isometric MRV protocols, outlining quantification and monitoring requirements for diverse terrestrial biomass carbon storage methods. Utilise modelling techniques to assess project baselines, counterfactuals and system boundaries, supporting project validation, verification and credit issuances. Evaluate and develop frameworks to mitigate reversal risks associated with various terrestrial carbon storage techniques.
Provide strategic direction for terrestrial biomass carbon storage projects, engaging with academia, national labs and industry partners to stay informed about market dynamics and emerging science.
Things we’re looking for:
A PhD in ecology, biology, environmental & earth sciences, geoscience, chemical engineering or a related field, with a strong research portfolio focused on terrestrial carbon storage in biomass.
At least 5 years of people management experience, with the ability to inspire and lead a team of talented scientists, fostering a collaborative culture of open communication and teamwork.
Strong project management skills, a solution-oriented mindset and a track record of delivering innovative and robust solutions in response to complex scientific problems.
This role isn’t for you if:
You want a remote job. We value collaboration and physical time together. We’re in the office three days per week.
You want to stay within your area of expertise and you prefer structured environments. We’re a small team moving at extreme pace in an environment with plenty of ambiguity. We’re building and learning on the fly—and everyone’s a generalist.
You’re looking for a short term gig. Everything at Isometric is designed for the long term: our business model, our reward system and our decision-making processes. You should only apply if you’re looking to make a move that will last 5-10 years.
