Tl;dr
Do you want to lead product decision-making that will help Nori and our industry scale to gigatons of carbon removal capacity and contribute to solving climate change? We’re looking for a product manager to own the vision, roadmap, and execution on the demand side of our marketplace. Demonstrated experience in small organizations working with crypto, blockchain, or fintech where you’ve balanced planning and research with hands-on engagement in execution is a must.
We’re a team of believers. We believe that humanity can stop and even reverse climate change by removing over 1 trillion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. How do we get people to remove that much carbon at scale? Pay them! Nori’s marketplace is the infrastructure that creates the financial incentive for people and companies to remove massive amounts of CO2 from the air.
Nori is a venture-backed and highly values-oriented company. Our focus is on people and planet. We’re composed of a diverse set of people with complementary skillsets, all unified in the mission of restoring the world’s atmospheric carbon balance back to 300ppm.
We strongly suggest that you read in detail about our company values and mission at https://nori.com/careers.
You’ll be the Product Manager charged with the demand side of the Nori marketplace. The NORI token and a collection of NFTs work together to allow us to innovate and raise the standard against which carbon markets will be judged by increasing transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness. You will own the vision for how Nori’s marketplace functions and how buyers and suppliers interact with the marketplace from Nori’s own web properties to distributed web3 apps and partner integrations.
You’ll work closely with the leadership team and demand team stakeholders to establish a roadmap and success metrics and by Q3 you’ll have a full product team to collaborate with to reach those goals.
Collaboration with our Product designer on customer discovery and user testing will be a key ongoing aspect of the role. There will also be a variety of partnerships to navigate; emissions reduction and tracking services, ecommerce platforms and DeFi protocols. You will partner with the head of engineering on defining and implementing these integrations.
You’ll be a core member of the Product team at Nori. You’ll be embedded in the demand-focused cross-functional product delivery team (UX, Engineering, QA). Additionally, you will work closely with stakeholders in marketing, communications and community management areas. You will collaborate closely with our technical project manager and the supply PM in areas where the two product areas intersect. You will also communicate often with executive leadership to establish the strategy and priorities of the Product team over the short and long term.
Each of these teams work a little bit differently, but they work hand in hand with each other to create an inventory of verified carbon removals that can be sold through our marketplace.
The Product Team is responsible for the Nori marketplace, supply-side enrollment app, marketing website, and any of the technical/software aspects of Nori’s work. We are actively expanding the product team to build out a second marketplace product squad which you will lead. The Product team works with the other teams—Supply, Sales, and Communications—to support business development needs.
The Supply team works with Nori Suppliers: anyone who can verifiably remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere. The Methodology team works on developing the requirements for how projects are enrolled (see current methodology). Both teams report to the Head of Supply and Methodology. As Nori’s current focus is on our Croplands Methodology, the Supply team is working with farmers as well as the partners and companies around them to enroll croplands into the Nori market.
The Demand team sells carbon. Specifically they sell Nori Carbon Removal Tonnes (NRTs) to B2B customers as well as through partnerships with other companies, like NFT marketplaces and carbon footprint companies. They stay in tight communication with the Supply team about how much inventory they will have to work with. And they partner with the Communications team around how to get marketing messaging out, and create new content for presenting to potential customers and partners.
The Comms and Marketing team produces and hosts our two podcasts, Reversing Climate Change and Carbon Removal Newsroom, as well as manages all our marketing and social media channels.
Five Key Aspects of the Role
You’ll Be Responsible For…
There is a lot of ambiguity in what we’re building, and it’ll be up to you to work with the appropriate internal stakeholders to sort through all the concerns and suggested requirements to make sure we’re still hitting our deliverables. You will also be dealing with multiple teams, each with their own stakeholders, and each with their own opinion on what should or should not be included in requirements. You must have a strong sense of self to navigate these waters and lead teams to clarity on what will or will not be implemented in a sprint. There are a lot of educated and strong opinions inside Nori, and it’s your job to synthesize all those into something we can build.
You’re not just working at some mobile ads startup—you’re directly helping build products to reverse climate change. Here are some of the non-cash benefits we offer:
Beyond those measurable benefits, we also think this is just a really fun place to work:
We are committed to in-person work in our Ballard neighborhood office in Seattle and look forward to meeting you there.

For this reason, we’re transparent about what we can pay you, and we don’t negotiate on compensation.
