Job description

About Us

Isometric is the world’s most trusted carbon registry. We issue scientifically rigorous carbon credits to help Fortune 100 companies avoid greenwashing while tackling climate change.

Our customers include Google, Meta, J.P. Morgan, McKinsey, and Microsoft.

We're growing quickly, but we’re intentional about hiring people who contribute to our unique culture. Our team is smart, meticulous, and courageous—but warm, kind, and supportive too.

We’re looking for doers with a bias to action. If you want to join a company that gets important stuff done quickly, with no drama—then let us know.

Tackling climate change at Isometric is a career-defining role. Working here will be unlike any job you've had before.

Things you’ll do in this role:

1. Discuss technical, often scientific, topics with external audiences.
2. Build relationships with a range of carbon removal suppliers and take ownership of contract negotiations from start to finish.
3. Coordinate between Isometric team members across different divisions (Science, Growth, Technology) to identify and address blockers to working with target suppliers.

Things we’re looking for:

1. Demonstrated expertise in managing and driving high-stakes partnerships and negotiations, particularly in environments that require innovative and strategic thinking.
2. Aptitude for quickly diving into complex topics and gaining a strong enough understanding to credibly discuss them with technical audiences, such as scientists.
3. Experience in nature-based solutions or natural capital.
4. Desirable: STEM academic background.

This role isn’t for you if:

1. You want a remote job. We value collaboration and physical time together. We’re in the office three days per week.
2. You want to stay within your area of expertise and prefer structured environments. We’re a small team moving at an extreme pace in an environment with plenty of ambiguity. We’re building and learning on the fly—and everyone’s a generalist.
3. You’re looking for a short-term gig. Everything at Isometric is designed for the long term: our business model, our compensation/reward system, and our decision-making processes. You should only apply if you’re looking to make a move that will last 5-10 years.
