Cascade Climate is an independent, nonprofit field-building NGO whose mission is to dramatically accelerate progress across a range of open-system climate interventions.

Pitch a Role / General Opportunities

<div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Join Cascade Climate, a new global nonprofit accelerating progress in interventions, technologies, and markets that harness earth’s natural systems to stabilize our climate. Since our launch last summer we have assembled a stellar founding team, and lined up large initial investments from philanthropic backers including the Grantham Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. After kicking off our first set of field-building initiatives in enhanced rock weathering (ERW), Cascade is starting to expand into a broader set of open-system climate intervention pathways. In 2024, we are excited to begin working on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) pathways–ocean alkalinity enhancement and direct ocean removal in particular.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We are looking for an Ocean Scientist to help us build out our in-house technical expertise in the marine realm; help establish and foster relationships with a network of collaborators and partners across mCDR; and help lead a range of Cascade’s initial mCDR programmatic initiatives.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We’d love to hire an ocean scientist who is both well-versed in the (bio)geochemistry or physical oceanography underpinning mCDR pathways and a versatile relationship builder and big-picture thinker. This role will put you in an unusually high-leverage position to help advance mCDR knowledge creation and field development holistically—and yet is not a research role per se. The day-to-day responsibilities in this role will involve heavy doses of relationship building, deep listening and stakeholder management—across academia, industry, NGO partners, and more. The role will also involve a great deal of zoomed-out thinking and programmatic strategy development. We are looking for someone who can structure, diagnose and distill complex problems and chart a path forward.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We hope this is an exciting fusion for someone who sees themselves as a scientist, a stakeholder communicator, and a strategic thinker. In addition, you will be joining Cascade at a pivotal time when you can shape our most important programs and our broader strategy to accelerate progress across open-system CDR pathways—from advancing the science of CDR quantification and developing a community system for rigor and consistency in MRV, to developing frameworks for environmental risk analysis, to federal policy advocacy.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We care as much about you—your character and mindsets—as we do about your scientific training and background. Do you consistently show up with humility and contagious curiosity? Do you love to build new relationships and work with lots of collaborators? Do you independently learn new things quickly and eagerly? Can you operate without a fully-developed roadmap that’s been handed to you—tackling ambiguous problems and imposing your own structured plan? </span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:11pt;">About Cascade</b></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Cascade coordinates and resources ambitious initiatives across scientists, industry, and governments to overcome the core bottlenecks that are hindering progress in the most promising open-system climate interventions. As a species we are already—unintentionally and haphazardly—manipulating Earth’s climate system in ways that produce disastrous consequences for ourselves and the biosphere. Decarbonization must be our top priority but on its own cannot solve the climate emergency. We must embrace the need to harness Earth’s natural systems in the service of avoiding deeper harm. This will mean intervening in soils, rivers, oceans, glaciers and more—but doing so with great deliberation and care.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Our initial focus is advancing the development of a healthy market for enhanced rock weathering (ERW), underpinned by its scientific evidence base and its potential for gigaton-scale, durable carbon dioxide removal. As commercial activity in ERW ramps up, it is essential that we collectively steer toward a healthy, virtuous market cycle wherein large-scale deployments become a powerful engine for public scientific learning and growing public trust, along with declining uncertainties and costs. Over the course of 2024, we are looking to expand into mCDR as mCDR gradually shifts into progressively larger field research and deployment scales.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">For more context, you can read our </span><a href="https://cascadeclimate.org/foundations-for-a-healthy-erw-market-cycle" style="font-size:11pt;">blog post</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> about the outlook for the ERW market or our broader thoughts on </span><a href="https://greatunwind.substack.com/p/leveling-the-playing-field-for-open" style="font-size:11pt;">leveling the playing field</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> for open-system carbon dioxide removal.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">In the coming 3-6 months, you will be the science lead driving our stakeholder listening tours and strategic bottleneck diagnosis process as we expand in the mCDR space.

<div><b><span style="font-size:24px;">About The Company</span></b></div><div><br></div><div>At Edacious, we believe food should be plentiful AND nutritious. As the impacts of yield-obsessed food production on human and environmental health become clear, the ability to measure nutrition as easily as we measure yield becomes critical. Why? The most nutritious food is also the most flavorful and sustainable. Our mission is nutritional transparency, and our vision is to shift the food system so it may better serve consumers, producers, and our planet.</div><div><br></div><div>We are chemists, designers, engineers, and systems-thinkers. We create novel hardware, software, and analysis tools for producers to understand the factors that produce more nutritious food and for buyers to know the nutritional quality of the food they buy. We are looking for teammates who are passionate about food, the food system, and human or environmental health.</div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:24px;">Position Overview</b></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt;">We're looking for a design lead who's excited to wear many hats, and is motivated by solving hard problems for real people (in this case: farmers, food producers, and eaters everywhere).</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt;">Come help us build a design team that exists to illuminate the connections between climate, agriculture, nutrition, and human health. You’ll play a critical role in shaping a company where design strategy permeates everything we do, and helps the entire team ship work we’re all proud of.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt;">This role is for a very senior individual contributor. You might have been a senior, staff, or principal designer in the past. You’ll be the second designer on the team, reporting into Alex Turnwall (</span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexturnwall/" style="font-size:13pt;">Linkedin</a><span style="font-size:13pt;">), our Head of Product and Design. The work is heavily UX and UI focused, with the expectation that you’ll be able to manage your own projects from concept to launch, bringing in our highly collaborative cross-functional teams to help when needed. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt;">The right person is probably excited about learning in-depth food science concepts from our team—it’ll be your job to translate complex topics into products that the public can benefit from. You’re passionate about food, health, climate and/or agriculture. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt;">While we understand the value of specialization in UX roles, we’re looking for an intentional generalist who will spend time on UI and systems design in Figma, but can flex into user research and product management. A stand-out candidate will be excited about contributing to overall product, marketing, content, and brand strategy. </span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:24px;">Design at Edacious</b></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt;">We’re a software, hardware, and science company. Our tools make measurement, comparison, and understanding of food quality more accessible through a nutrition and climate lens. Great design is not only a key differentiator: we view making complex topics digestible (pun intended) through design storytelling as critical to our success.</span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:13pt;">Why we exist:</b><span style="font-size:13pt;"> there's mounting scientific evidence that the healthiest foods come from the farming practices that are best for the planet. We believe that we can use nutrition as a lever to impact climate change at scale by accelerating the demand for healthier, climate-smart foods and activate regenerative agriculture as a climate solution. In the process, we’ll help people make better health decisions, and help food producers improve their operations—both having a positive impact on climate  and food system resilience. </span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:13pt;">What you're designing:</b><span style="font-size:13pt;"> we make software that takes big data from our lab and other sources and presents it to food and agriculture professionals so that they can (1) improve quality and (2) tell the story of how good their food really is. You’ll have a hand in designing software, data visualizations, services, and brand content.</span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:13pt;">Our users:</b><span style="font-size:13pt;"> are farmers and other people working in the supply chain to bring food to your table. In serving them, we also have to think about the needs of their end consumers (so, literally everybody that eats). </span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:13pt;">Our team:</b><span style="font-size:13pt;"> you'd be working daily with a team of scientists, ag professionals, and seasoned software startup folks—a pretty unique group who are excited to teach and learn from each other every day.</span></div><br><br><h3>The role: what you'd be doing</h3><ul><li>A regular week involves working closely with everyone from our lab and science team, to our customers, to our CEO, to our software team to help shape the future of our product and services.</li><li>Overall: UX and UI design for a responsive web app; plus user research, service design, and product management.</li><li>Evolve our software platform to help elevate good science through design and storytelling—translate data coming from our lab and other data sets into something that users can understand and make actionable.</li><li>Meet with our customers and partners (mostly virtual calls, opportunity to go on-site from time to time if you’re interested) to understand their problems and translate those to possible product solutions. </li><li>Present solution concepts to key stakeholders internally, gain support for new directions and define success metrics—then be prepared to manage that project.</li><li>Design crits! Design is a team sport here—you’ll work with our full team to review designs collaboratively and push concepts forward. We encourage everyone to “put their designer hat on” and give feedback—the whole company regularly works together in Figma and Figjam to review and comment on designs. As a design leader, you’ll need to lead these sessions and know when and how to direct feedback sessions from team members with different backgrounds.</li><li>Help craft the end-to-end experience of getting food analyzed at our lab, to reporting via our software, to using the results. This may include improving our internal teams’ processes through service design and designing our internal tools.</li><li>Help evolve and scale our internal design system (Figma) and brand.</li></ul><h3>Requirements: what we need to see</h3><ul><li>Senior, staff, principal, or lead product designer with demonstrated experience working on complex software projects (see application and interview section below).</li><li>Experience designing UX and UI for complex software products, with portfolio projects that demonstrate your personal input on improving UX.</li><li>Extensive data visualization experience—you know how to avoid data distortion and help collaborators remove chartjunk.</li><li>Leadership experience: not necessarily a people manager, but you’ve managed projects from ideation to launch. You can demonstrate that your leadership brought an idea to life, and you understand how to measure the impact of that project on users.</li><li>Expert designer of responsive web applications for screens of all sizes.</li><li>Experience working directly with software teams to hone and launch designs.</li></ul><h3>Ways to stand out</h3><ul><li>Experience working in, or designing for applications in food, agriculture, nutrition, science.</li><li>Startup experience—tell us how you made a tangible impact on a company or team.</li><li>Experience designing, planning and executing qualitative user research studies; especially being able to independently manage the process and understanding how to interview to reduce bias. </li><li>Bonus points for understanding how and when to design and conduct quant research.</li><li>Bonus points for past coding experience—you won’t be doing that here, but understanding limitations of approaches makes you a better collaborator with our software team.</li><li>Experience with service design—have you led processes to improve service experiences without visual design? Tell us about the process and outcomes.</li></ul><h3>Where and how you'd work</h3><ul><li>You can choose where you work—this role is remote-first, but you must be based in the U.S. You should plan on overlapping with East Coast business hours.</li><li>Our HQ, chemistry lab, and hardware space is in Marlborough, MA (about 45 minutes west of Boston) and you’re welcome to grab a desk there. The science team is onsite daily, and the product team is largely remote. You’ll be expected to travel to company events (usually in New England) about twice a year.</li><li>We’re committed to building a remote-first design team that gets together when we need to. We’re built on Slack, Figma, GitHub, and Google workspace.</li></ul><h3>Benefits</h3><ul><li>$160,000-$190,000 depending on qualifications, experience, and equity.</li><li>Equity: 0.2-0.5%, depending on qualifications, experience, and salary.</li><li>Flexible vacation policy. </li><li>Paid holidays.</li><li>Health, vision, and dental insurance.</li><li>401k with 4% company match.</li></ul><h3>Interview process</h3><ul><li><b>Your application:</b></li><li>There aren’t any interview assignments, but <b>you’ll need to submit a portfolio link</b> that captures your specific UX and UI input on projects. This can be a website, PDF, or even a shared Figma prototype. </li><li>If you don't have an up-to-date portfolio, don't let that stop you from applying—throw together some good screen shots in a PDF or Figma file and add some text that tells us (1) what your role was, (2) what impact that project had.</li><li><b>You also need to submit a “cover letter” that tells us why you want to work here</b> and why you're the right person for the role. Open-ended. Make sure to capture our attention. <b>You’ll copy/paste this directly into the online application form, so don’t worry about designing it.</b></li><li><b>What's next?</b></li><li>If your portfolio and resume look good, you'll be invited to a quick 25 min call with Alex, our Head of Product and Design, to ensure the role sounds like a good mutual fit. You’ll have the opportunity to ask your questions and tell us if you want to move forward.</li><li>If so: expect a 1 hour "portfolio review" with a few members of our team. You present your portfolio work for 15-20 mins and we’ll ask a bunch of questions about your process, the challenges you solved, and the outcome for your users.</li><li>Expect 2-4 additional 25 min calls with various members of the team. They'll be screening for: (1) collaboration with software folks, (2) collaboration with science folks, (3) overall problem-solving ability, and (4) overall company fit.</li><li>A final interview with our Head of Product and Design to shore up any outstanding questions.

Our company must represent the broader global food system if we are to be successful in this endeavor and so we seek to recruit and build teams that represent the beautiful diversity of people and life present on this planet.</span></div>
