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.

Who Are We? Have you struggled to reserve that coveted summer camping spot at a state park? Wondered why you're still filling out a paper form at the DMV? Or tried (and failed) to book your favorite pickleball court from your phone? Kaizen Labs is rebuilding the government's digital front door - bringing modern, people-first software to the public services millions of Americans rely on every day. From parks & recreation and permitting to licensing and payments, we're replacing outdated systems with intuitive, beautiful technology designed for residents and the public servants who serve them. Our platform now powers over 50 agencies across 17 states, reaching more than 40 million residents. Recent partners include Maricopa County (AZ), San Bernardino County (CA), and the Cherokee Nation. In Maryland, our platform helped eliminate seven-mile traffic jams at state parks, saving hundreds of thousands in costs and dramatically improving the visitor experience. Founded in 2022 and based in New York City, Kaizen has raised $35 million from world-class investors, including NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, 776, and Carpenter Capital. We're a team of builders, designers, and operators redefining what it means to serve the public in the digital age - and we're just getting started.

Candidates must reside in New York or be able to commute to New York City to work out of our office at least three times a week (Tuesdays - Thursdays).

You will be responsible for owning and building our financial systems - payments, processors, reporting, and accounting infrastructure. These systems are among the most sensitive parts of our product and codebase, and as we scale to larger, more sophisticated customers, they're holding us to higher standards of accuracy, compliance, and reliability. This is a highly technical role with leadership responsibility: ~80% hands-on engineering and ~20% people management. You'll collaborate closely with product and platform teams to design simple, abstracted financial interfaces, while ensuring our systems are accurate, and built to scale. Technical Challenges Unique to This Role… Building and scaling financial systems that reconcile accounting data, power accurate reporting, and support enterprise-grade compliance. Owning integrations with payment processors, ERP systems, and financial reporting tools to ensure reliability and trust. Designing simple, abstracted payment and reporting interfaces for our customers. Ensuring financial accuracy through reconciliation, alerting, and monitoring systems. Supporting diverse use cases - everything from permits and public reservations to point-of-sale transactions and large-scale government payments. What You'll Do Lead the accounting and payments roadmap - defining priorities, building, and executing. Own payments, processors, reporting, and financial accounting systems end-to-end. Establish rigorous systems for reconciliation, alerting, and financial accuracy. Collaborate with product engineering to design clean, abstracted interfaces for payments and reporting. Manage and mentor a small team while remaining a strong IC. Drive ERP integrations and ensure smooth connectivity between payments, accounting, and inventory systems. Contribute to high-level architectural decisions, helping us design scalable, reliable, and auditable financial systems. What You'll Bring 6+ years of professional software development experience, with deep exposure to fintech, payments, or accounting systems. Background at finance-heavy, tech-forward companies or foundational work at an early-stage startup building financial infrastructure. Strong backend engineering skills (TypeScript, Postgres, Stripe API experience preferred). Experience with ERP integrations. Comfortable leading projects and/or teams, or leading complex, cross-functional initiatives. Customer-obsessed mindset - you care about providing reliable systems that empower users and earn customer trust. Strong written and verbal communication; able to collaborate across product, engineering, and operations teams. Familiar with (or excited to learn about) integrating AI-assisted coding and problem-solving tools into everyday development. Strong Candidates May Also… Have experience with POS/payment terminals or retail and e-commerce systems. Be familiar with compliance-heavy environments.

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.

This will require frequent collaboration with marketing and design to strategize on top-of-funnel strategies. Spend critical time with customers (in-person and virtual) to refine Kaizen's value proposition and messaging. Sales Infrastructure and Enablement Redesign our sales tech stack, partnering closely with team members to remove friction, and leverage automation and AI to accelerate productivity. Implement scalable CRM processes and team and IC reporting, ensuring data accuracy and actionable insights. Strategy & Planning Partner with founders and leadership on sales forecasting, territory strategy, and GTM planning. Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing on lead generation, ensuring consistency throughout our sales process. Contribute to Kaizen's long-term vision by spearheading market expansion projects and identifying new geographies, customer segments, and verticals within government.
