Job description

Forest Carbon Works, a subsidiary of Chestnut Carbon, offers private US forest landowners conservation programs that help them access carbon credit markets while preserving their land and legacy. Landowner members of Forest Carbon Works enroll their forestlands in our Improved Forest Management (IFM) conservation program (Conserve), and every opportunity that reaches contract is built on a verified land and title foundation.

Reporting to the Senior Diligence Coordinator, the Diligence Coordinator is responsible for supporting land and title due diligence for IFM carbon project opportunities, ensuring each transaction is accurately vetted and risk assessed. This role sits at the center of transaction readiness: reviewing ownership, confirming signatory authority, verifying parcel IDs, identifying risks, and coordinating issue resolution. The Diligence Coordinator will work closely with the Senior Diligence Coordinator and partner with our sales, legal, forestry, and operations teams to resolve risks and close gaps.

The ideal candidate will possess experience in real estate transactions, title review, or land-based transaction execution, along with a detail-oriented, proactive approach to managing complex documentation. This person will be comfortable managing multiple transactions at once in a fast-paced sales environment while keeping every file accurate.

This role ensures that every project we bring on is built on a clean, defensible, and well-documented land foundation. The Diligence Coordinator's work directly protects transaction integrity, reduces downstream risk, and enables scalable growth of our forest carbon portfolio, with the opportunity to work at the intersection of land, climate, and finance.
