Carbon Analyst

Package: Competitive, details available as part of the interview process

Location: Remote, international. Applicants encouraged from Central or Southern America. 

Employee or contractor roles considered depending on location.

Role Summary:

RePLANET is rebuilding nature. We are a global leader in the design and delivery of large-scale nature restoration projects. By unlocking private sector funding through carbon and biodiversity credits, we create projects that not only restore ecosystems but also generate significant social co-benefits for communities worldwide.

We are seeking a Carbon Analyst to join our Project Development team. This is a dynamic, hands-on role at the heart of our technical work, supporting the research, development, and implementation of carbon accounting across our global portfolio.

You will contribute directly to projects registered under leading carbon market standards (VERRA, ERS, CAR, and others), helping to ensure that our methodologies, models, and reporting meet the highest levels of credibility and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

Carbon Analytics & Modelling: Conduct data analysis and scenario modelling, including carbon stocks, soil organic carbon, biomass growth, leakage, uncertainty, and emission reduction/sequestration calculations.

Methodologies & Compliance: Apply and track updates to relevant carbon methodologies (e.g., VM0047, VM0042) to ensure projects remain compliant with leading standards and market requirements and rePLANET remains at the forefront of data integrity.

Certification & Documentation: Support project certification from feasibility through validation and verification, including preparation of Project Design Documents (PDDs), monitoring reports, and submissions to standards (e.g., VERRA).

Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV): Contribute to the design and implementation of MRV systems, including monitoring strategies, GIS and remote sensing analyses, and biodiversity benefit assessments.

Process Development: Develop and refine internal SOPs and analytical tools to strengthen carbon project assessment and reporting.

Stakeholder Engagement: Liaise with project partners, auditors (VVBs), and internal teams to support validation, verification, and critically, the technical integrity of rePLANET’s projects.

Experience:

• Knowledge of, or experience with, carbon certification processes (e.g. Verra, Plan Vivo)
• Experience preparing or reviewing technical project documentation (e.g., PDDs, MRVs, baselines).
• Solid understanding of carbon accounting methodologies (especially VERRA VM0047 and VM0042 or others).
• Strong analytical skills with experience in data modelling, biomass/carbon stock estimation, or soil carbon accounting.
• Knowledge of biodiversity co-benefit standards (e.g., CCB, TNFD-aligned reporting, or biodiversity crediting frameworks).
• Experience engaging with VVBs and supporting validation/verification audits

Skills and Knowledge:

• Strong written and verbal English and Spanish
• Ability to analyse and evaluate data and other evidence to inform decisions
• Understanding of GIS software and analysis
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office tools and setup
• Basic understanding of a programming language (e.g. R, Python, Java)
• Familiarity with core concepts from carbon accreditation, such as additionality, leakage and dynamic baselines

Personal attributes:

• Ability to manage workloads self-sufficiently
• Strong interpersonal skills to manage internal and external relationships
• Ability to work in a team both in-person and remotely
• Freedom to travel overseas for periods of time
• Ability to write clearly, accurately and concisely whilst working towards tight deadlines
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced working environment and able to adapt with the evolution of the business.
• Demonstrable interest in the protection and restoration of species, habitats and ecosystems through the stimulation of private finance

Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline
• Higher degree (i.e. master’s or PhD) in Soil Science or other relevant discipline

Working Arrangements

Working arrangements will differ depending on the location of the successful applicant.

rePLANET works on projects around the world and there is an expectation that all staff are prepared to work for extended periods in the field, including overseas. As a minimum you will be required to be available for at least six periods of up to three weeks per year.

About rePLANET

rePLANET is a purpose-driven company restoring and protecting ecosystems at scale by unlocking private sector finance. Founded in 2021, we have rapidly become one of the most trusted and innovative project developers in the fast-growing nature-based solutions sector.

Our mission is to restore and conserve vital ecosystems by designing and managing landscape-scale projects that generate verified carbon and biodiversity credits. Central to our approach is a commitment to equity and inclusion: at least 60% of project revenues are reinvested directly into local communities and stakeholders, ensuring ecological recovery delivers lasting benefits for both people and planet.

Backed by significant equity investment, rePLANET is scaling a diverse global portfolio, including:

• Tropical forest restoration and the creation of wildlife corridors on degraded cattle pastures using regenerative practices.
• Mangrove recovery, transforming abandoned or underutilised shrimp ponds while integrating sustainable aquaculture.
• Agroforestry innovation, repurposing stranded timber plantations and replacing end-of-life crops, with set-asides to restore native habitats and biodiversity corridors.
• Biodiversity led projects are projects where carbon funding alone is insufficient to fund the project and an additional biodiversity credit income stream is needed

With projects underway in Indonesia, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina; rePLANET is at the forefront of delivering scalable, high-integrity nature restoration solutions. Our expertise in project development and our technically-robust, science-driven methodologies are recognised globally, positioning us as a leading actor in this critical and rapidly evolving sector.
