• Support feasibility assessments and analytical projects — from breakeven and cash flow analysis to internal tool and workflow improvements.
• Stay current on evolving carbon standards, protocols, and regulatory developments in the forest carbon sector.
• Collaborate closely with divisional staff, technical consultants, and management to ensure effective coordination and communication.
