• Train teams on how methodologies work in practice, including Kitchen Performance Tests (KPTs) and other monitoring protocols
New Business & Project Stand-Up
• Support proposals and investor materials with technical input, including emissions reduction estimates and methodology guidance
• Partner with the Senior Carbon Operations Manager on pilots for new technologies and regions
• Ensure carbon compliance and monitoring are built into new projects from day one
What We Are Looking For
• Deep experience in clean cooking, carbon accounting and carbon markets
• 10+ years of relevant experience in roles of increasing responsibility
• Strong MRV expertise, including monitoring design and working with carbon standards such as Gold Standard or Verra
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-country workstreams with clear milestones and risk tracking
• Experience working on or with projects in Africa and Asia, alongside cross-functional teams
• Excellent communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical subject (Master's degree strongly preferred)
