Full job description

Relae (formerly Carbon Direct) helps organizations like Microsoft, Mitsubishi, and JPMorgan Chase make defensible, high-stakes decisions across energy strategy, decarbonization, environmental markets, and natural capital. Our teams combine scientific rigor with commercial and policy fluency to answer questions that matter, and we invest just as seriously in the people answering them, with a clear path for career growth, structured manager development, and real ownership of hard problems from day one.

Overview of the Opportunity

Relae receives many client requests to conduct due diligence on carbon projects. We are looking to bring on additional contractors to assist with project reviews. These cover a wide range of carbon dioxide removal and reduction technologies and would be appropriate for advanced graduate students (Masters or PhD level) in climate science fields (e.g., forestry, engineering, chemistry, environmental science, ecology) who are interested in gaining work experience.

A review is generally a short report that follows a set template and examines the project proposal in the context of six quality criteria. Work is conducted with the oversight of a Relae senior scientist and subject to rigorous QA/QC. We operate a deliverable-based payment schedule based on the anticipated length and complexity of each assigned review.

Benefits:

While we love our work, our lives aren’t defined by it. At Relae (formerly Carbon Direct), we offer a robust benefits package that considers the whole person, their partners, and their families – and we’re always looking to improve.

Our U.S. benefits* include:

  • Comprehensive nationwide medical, dental, and vision coverage. See a preview of our coverage here.
