The listing
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.

Contractors will provide country-specific expertise related to carbon projects, which could include land-use change, reforestation, improved forest management, biomass sourcing, political, regulatory, and economic contexts, social and cultural dynamics, and supply chains. The role involves research, analysis, and/or stakeholder engagement, with the potential for in-person site visits, culminating in written deliverables that assess project risks and opportunities.

- Strong research, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Prior experience with complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
