Forests are crucial to all life on Earth. They capture and store carbon and are one of the most promising, largescale, and cost-effective opportunities to combat climate change. Rainforests also sustain rainfalls, food supply, vital ecosystems, and livelihoods for over a billion people. Protecting them is not just a moral imperative, it is essential for a stable, prosperous, and sustainable future for us all. As the COVID-19 crisis highlights, we live in a fragile and interconnected world where sustainability cannot be taken for granted. There is increasing recognition of the urgency of climate change. The Paris Agreement in 2015 committed governments to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Over 1,500 major corporations have committed to climate neutrality, and over 40 countries have implemented some form of carbon pricing scheme. After two decades of putting necessary, effective, high integrity standards and market mechanisms in place, Emergent has the historic opportunity to channel this momentum to solving the deforestation crisis. Emergent helps safeguard the world's tropical forests by building a global market for forest carbon credits. Countries generate these credits by reducing deforestation and tropical deforestation (called “REDD+”). For forest countries, Emergent provides a guaranteed source of demand by facilitating access to a range of high-volume buyers, backed by a purchase guarantee from donors, giving countries the certainty needed to make investments in forest protection and chart a new course. For buyers, Emergent provides access to the highest quality REDD+ credits, enabling them to meet their climate neutrality goals. Emergent is currently grant-funded but will become self-sufficient through transaction fees as volumes build. Job Description Any plausible pathway to the goals of the Paris Agreement includes the preservation of the Earth's natural carbon sinks. On land, the most important of these sinks are tropical forests, which hold nearly half of terrestrial carbon and biodiversity. Their destruction for unsustainable agriculture and timber creates 10-15% of anthropogenic carbon emissions - more than the entire European Union. Emergent is a mission-focused focused non-profit designed to create a pathway to zero tropical deforestation. Emergent acts as an intermediary between forest countries and the private sector, facilitating transactions of high-integrity carbon credits from national-scale forest protection programs. Backed by a coalition of governments, NGOs, and major corporations, Emergent is catalyzing a market that will channel billions of dollars of new funding into tropical forest protection and sustainable development.

Forests are crucial to all life on Earth. They capture and store carbon and are one of the most promising, largescale, and cost-effective opportunities to combat climate change. Rainforests also sustain rainfalls, food supply, vital ecosystems, and livelihoods for over a billion people. Protecting them is not just a moral imperative, it is essential for a stable, prosperous, and sustainable future for us all. As the COVID-19 crisis highlights, we live in a fragile and interconnected world where sustainability cannot be taken for granted. There is increasing recognition of the urgency of climate change. The Paris Agreement in 2015 committed governments to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Over 1,500 major corporations have committed to climate neutrality, and over 40 countries have implemented some form of carbon pricing scheme. After two decades of putting necessary, effective, high integrity standards and market mechanisms in place, Emergent has the historic opportunity to channel this momentum to solving the deforestation crisis. Emergent helps safeguard the world's tropical forests by building a global market for forest carbon credits. Countries generate these credits by reducing deforestation and tropical deforestation (called “REDD+”). For forest countries, Emergent provides a guaranteed source of demand by facilitating access to a range of high-volume buyers, backed by a purchase guarantee from donors, giving countries the certainty needed to make investments in forest protection and chart a new course. For buyers, Emergent provides access to the highest quality REDD+ credits, enabling them to meet their climate neutrality goals. Emergent is currently grant-funded but will become self-sufficient through transaction fees as volumes build. Job Description Any plausible pathway to the goals of the Paris Agreement includes the preservation of the Earth's natural carbon sinks. On land, the most important of these sinks are tropical forests, which hold nearly half of terrestrial carbon and biodiversity. Their destruction for unsustainable agriculture and timber creates 10-15% of anthropogenic carbon emissions - more than the entire European Union. Emergent is a mission-focused focused non-profit designed to create a pathway to zero tropical deforestation. Emergent acts as an intermediary between forest countries and the private sector, facilitating transactions of high-integrity carbon credits from national-scale forest protection programs. Backed by a coalition of governments, NGOs, and major corporations, Emergent is catalyzing a market that will channel billions of dollars of new funding into tropical forest protection and sustainable development. More information on Emergent and its approach is below. The Executive Assistant (EA) will report to the Chief Finance and Operations Officer and work closely with other members of the leadership team as well as the Senior Executive Assistant based in Barcelona.

Forests are crucial to all life on Earth. They capture and store carbon and are one of the most promising, large-scale, and cost-effective opportunities to combat climate change. Rainforests also sustain rainfalls, food supply, vital ecosystems, and livelihoods for over a billion people. Protecting them is not just a moral imperative, it is essential for a stable, prosperous, and sustainable future for us all. As the COVID-19 crisis highlights, we live in a fragile and interconnected world where sustainability cannot be taken for granted. There is no pathway to the goals of the Paris Agreement that does not include keeping these vital carbon sinks intact. Emergent helps safeguard the world's tropical forests by building a global market for forest carbon credits. Countries generate these credits by reducing deforestation and tropical deforestation (called “REDD+”). For forest countries, Emergent provides a guaranteed source of demand by facilitating access to a range of high-volume buyers, backed by a purchase guarantee from donors, giving countries the certainty needed to make investments in forest protection and chart a new course For buyers, Emergent provides access to the highest-quality REDD+ credits, enabling them to meet their climate neutrality goals.

We're looking for exceptional people, able to exercise a high degree of autonomy and take on significant responsibility, identifying problems and recommending and implementing solutions. In return, we offer the chance to be part of an extraordinary, high-impact endeavour, intended to slow and halt tropical deforestation permanently.

Before You Apply… Kaizen is hiring its first sales leader. We're looking for a proven SLED leader who's equally excited about being in the weeds with our team and customers as they are about building scalable sales processes and growing the team.

The Role We're looking for a Product-Led Deployment Strategist to serve as the connective tissue between our customers and our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) org. In this high-impact role, you'll drive complex customer launches, shape product direction through frontline insights, and help scale mission-critical implementations across the country. This role sits at the intersection of implementation, product, and strategy. You'll operate with autonomy, build trusted relationships with customers, and collaborate across teams to deliver outcomes that matter for public institutions. It's a great fit for someone who wants to stay close to both user impact and technical execution. Who You Are You've led complex software deployments in ambiguous environments, rolling up your sleeves to both define the direction and do the work. You're equally comfortable mapping a technical workflow as you are translating it for a non-technical stakeholder.
