We are looking for a sharp, adaptable, and purpose-driven Operational Associate to support our global operations team, specifically in executing certification and audit processes for our environmental projects.
You will work directly with our Technical Director, gaining hands-on experience in coordinating and preparing for third-party audits under international standards such as Verra and Gold Standard. These audits are essential for turning project outcomes into verified, market-ready products like carbon and plastic credits.
This is a unique opportunity to be mentored by a global leader in green tech operations, develop deep expertise in environmental certification, and help deliver tangible, real-world sustainability outcomes.
Duties, Roles and Responsibilities
Support the planning, coordination, and documentation of project certification and audit processes under Verra, Gold Standard, and other standards.
Assist with data collection, structuring, and evidence assembly for verification audits.
Draft, review, and organize documents required for project design documents (PDDs) and monitoring reports.
Engage with international field teams and auditors to gather inputs and clarify technical and operational questions.
Help articulate project methodologies and interventions using clear, concise, and scientifically sound language.
Apply structured thinking and common sense to triage issues, solve problems, and keep processes running smoothly.
Learn continuously from your mentor, taking on greater responsibility over time.
Qualifications, Education and Competencies
A high-performing junior candidate—sharp, curious, and precise in execution.
Master’s degree in environmental science, economics, law, sustainability, international development, natural resource management, or a related field.
Up to 3 years of work experience, ideally with exposure to research, field operations, or environmental initiatives.
Strong grasp of scientific reasoning and methodology, with the ability to apply it in real-world contexts.
Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and clear communication (both written and spoken).
Genuine motivation to build a career in sustainability and environmental markets.
Someone who “gets it”, you have strong common sense, you’re resourceful, and you remain calm under pressure.
Based in the Netherlands and eligible to work without visa sponsorship.
Benefits
A career-launching role with hands-on mentorship from experts in environmental project operations.
Exposure to leading international project standards like Verra and Gold Standard from day one.
A mission-driven team committed to creating measurable impact.
The opportunity to work on the frontier of environmental markets, reforestation, and sustainable development.
A flexible or hybrid work structure to support your productivity.
Room to grow—your role and responsibilities will evolve with your skills.
