About Geoclara
At Geoclara, we're building next-generation carbon removal solutions at global scale. We empower farmers to turn agricultural waste into enriched soil — reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their farms while earning monetary benefit in the process. The need to remove carbon and rebuild soils is real but fragmented across millions of farmers, while carbon capture and revenue generation need consolidation. That's the gap we close with our technology, in service of a cooler planet and cleaner air.
About the Role
You'll own the delivery of one or more of our carbon removal projects — ensuring they're delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in full compliance with approved methodologies and registry standards. Based in our Bengaluru office, you'll work closely with internal product and operations teams, and coordinate with implementation managers and field operators at project sites across India.
