Senior Project Manager — Nature-based Solutions Technical Lead

Aither Impact is looking for a Senior Project Manager – Nature-based Solutions Technical Lead to take technical ownership of an active and diverse Nature-based Solutions (NbS) portfolio and drive projects from feasibility through to credit issuance.

The portfolio includes:

• Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR) projects in Africa.
• Mangrove restoration projects in Southeast Asia.
• A large-scale regenerative agriculture programme.

This is an opportunity to join a small, agile team, take ownership of high-impact projects and work directly with project developers, field partners, investors and carbon standards bodies.

What we're looking for

Ideally, you will bring 4–6 years of relevant experience in carbon project development, with a strong technical background in Nature-based Solutions.

In particular, you will have:

• Hands-on experience with Verra methodologies, particularly VM0047, and practical project experience applying VM0033 and/or VM0042. Experience across all three is a strong advantage.
• Proven experience developing Project Design Documents (PDDs) that have progressed through validation, including direct responsibility for addressing Validation and Verification Body (VVB) findings.
• Strong carbon modelling capabilities, including developing ex-ante carbon estimates, defining conservative baseline and project scenarios, and substantiating key assumptions.
• Working knowledge of major carbon standards and NbS methodologies, including Verra, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo and Isometric, as well as their respective project registration and validation timelines, crediting-period requirements and rules on retroactive project start dates.
• Strong project management and organisational skills: the ability to translate project concepts into structured work plans, define deliverables, coordinate internal teams and external partners, manage deadlines and provide clear progress updates against agreed targets.
• French language skills are a plus, as some of our project partners are French-speaking.

What we offer

• Fully remote position within Europe, with flexibility and autonomy.
• Direct technical ownership of a diverse, international NbS portfolio.
• The opportunity to work in a small, dynamic team where initiative and accountability matter.
• Direct exposure to carbon standards bodies, investors and on-the-ground project partners.
• The opportunity to shape projects from early-stage feasibility through to credit issuance.

Interested?

If you have the technical expertise, project development experience and drive to take ownership of a growing NbS portfolio, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we're looking to move quickly.

4-6 years carbon project development experience; hands-on Verra methodologies (VM0047, VM0033, VM0042); PDD development and VVB findings; carbon modelling; knowledge of Verra, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, Isometric; project management skills.
