Project Manager, Terrestrial

Own the end-to-end relationships with all of our terrestrial planting partners, running recurring business reviews, triaging field issues, and following through consistently so partners experience veritree as organized, transparent, and dependable.

Ensure data collection and monitoring is on track across every account: high-integrity planting data, survival checks scheduled and completed on an annual cadence, and partners following our processes consistently.

Finish, document, and stabilize the core terrestrial SOP set (planting session, evidence requirements, survival monitoring) and make it repeatable across partners and regions.

Manage multiple terrestrial planting partner relationships in parallel and serve as the primary point of contact.

Manage a small number of global terrestrial accounts (for example, in the Philippines and Australia), applying the same standards and processes, and supporting the corporate partners who fund them.

Own and run all recurring partner meetings and business reviews: setting agendas, driving decisions, and owning follow-through.

Communicate clearly, concisely, and transparently with partners operating across different contexts, and be accountable for every commitment made internally or externally.

Triage issues that arise in the field and coordinate the right internal teams to resolve them.

Travel to planting sites for audits and partner visits as needed.

Experience flying drones and processing data is an asset.

Keep each partner's planting, monitoring, and survival data accurate and current: owning data hygiene and quality checks on data flowing into our system.

Make sure monitoring tasks (survival checks at defined intervals, with first survival reports one year after planting) are created, scheduled, and completed across all accounts.

Manage outstanding monitoring backlogs with a prioritized, batched plan, and provide regular status updates on progress against targets.

Create, refine, and audit the SOPs that define what we expect of terrestrial projects: from planting sessions and evidence requirements to survival monitoring.

Hold partners to the process: make sure each account follows our SOPs consistently, and work with partners to close gaps where they aren't.

Write SOPs at a level general enough to adapt across regions, species, and partner capacity, so they can be standardized across all terrestrial projects.

Strong people skills: builds trust quickly and maintains healthy long-term partner relationships.

Highly accountable and consistent: you do what you say you will do.

Clear and concise communicator, especially in cross-cultural partner relationships.

Comfortable building structure and process in a fast-moving startup environment.

Hands-on experience with UAV (drone) operations, including flight planning, image processing, and imagery analysis, is an asset.

Experience working with Indigenous partnerships and community-led restoration.

Familiarity with carbon or MRV/MMRV monitoring workflows.

People management or mentoring experience.
