The successful candidate will be instrumental in ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, particularly in the areas of land tenure, rights, and international practices. This role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams, leading due diligence and risk assessments, and the negotiation of various commercial and legal documents.

Preferred qualifications include experience in an international context, particularly in Africa, Latin America, or Southeast Asia, and a background in land tenure, use, leases, and permits. The ideal candidate will be a proactive problem-solver with a strong business acumen, capable of making sound legal decisions that support the company's mission of reversing climate change through the restoration of native forests.
