Category: Full-time Starting date: Immediate
Equilibrium is a full-stack carbon removal developer building one of the largest high-integrity carbon portfolios from the Global South, with a 20Mt CO₂ removal pipeline. We develop bankable, high-impact projects by integrating advanced climate science, an in-house digital MRV platform, and innovative blended finance.
Our portfolio spans across nature-based and engineered removal: on nature-based, we have large-scale agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, and mangrove restoration initiatives; on engineered removal, we are building India's leading biochar platform with large-scale commercial operations. Collectively, our projects span 120,000+ hectares and will support over 150,000 smallholder farmers and coastal communities.
Our work is backed by a $3M institutional seed round from Peak XV (formerly Sequoia) and Avaana Capital, and driven by a 95+ member team with deep expertise in climate science, carbon markets, and project operations.

Together, we are embedding GIS, data and technology into the intersection of finance and nature, driving the tech-integrated step change required to deliver environmental impact at scale.

This role sits at the intersection of partnership management and program delivery. It will support the overall health and management of the partnership, and own the management of EQ teams to deliver shared outcomes across the partnership's key workstreams, with a particular focus on the GIS workstream.
