Job description

WHO WE ARE

GivePower’s (www.givepower.org) mission is to electrify the world with clean energy, and provide greater health, economic and educational opportunities to developing regions that need it most. Our growing team is made up of passionate, creative problem‑solvers who value community, vision, and impact. We focus on building and operating projects that provide solar‑powered solutions for improving education, water access, food production, health and conservation. We also provide life‑changing voluntourism treks for donors and teams wishing to be a part of the impact they’re making. If you crave an opportunity to meaningfully improve the lives of those in need, come join the charge!

YOUR ROLE

Almost half the world’s population relies on biomass burned in the home to purify water prior to consuming it. This process produces massive amounts of carbon emissions. GivePower’s Solar Water Farm technology uses solar and battery‑powered desalination to eliminate the need for boiling. As the only desalination project to be accredited by Gold Standard, the carbon credits generated are unique, measurable and substantial.

We are seeking an experienced, results‑driven professional to lead the sale of carbon credits from our current inventory and future issuances. This role will focus on identifying and securing buyers interested in high quality credits that also generate tremendous social benefits including job creation, health improvement, school attendance, and more. This revenue will enable GivePower to expand its Solar Water Farm portfolio at rapid speed.

Once the credits are sold each year and prior to our next issuance, the role will pivot to support the development team in cultivating funding sources, including corporate partnerships, grants and philanthropic contributions that align with GivePower’s mission.

This is a unique opportunity for a skilled sales and business development professional to directly contribute to both climate action and life‑changing humanitarian work.
