Do you love solving challenging problems, thinking analytically, and working in groups? Are you passionate about developing innovative solutions to the climate crisis? Are you interested in being a foundational member of a quickly growing team at RMI?
RMI’s Climate Intelligence Program is seeking a Manager to join our Carbon Markets Initiative.

Over the coming year, our work will expand to cover other dimensions of the offset markets, including appropriate use of offsets across various industries.
