How to Apply for Lead, Regenerative Agriculture

at PUR Projet

🏢 About PUR Projet

PUR Projet is unique as a global leader in ecosystem restoration that partners directly with corporations to implement regenerative agriculture and agroforestry projects. Unlike traditional consultancies, PUR embeds within supply chains to create tangible environmental impact while delivering business value. Working here means joining a mission-driven organization that bridges corporate sustainability goals with on-the-ground ecological restoration.

About This Role

As Lead, Regenerative Agriculture, you'll own the technical product vision for regenerative initiatives across tropical and temperate ecosystems, ensuring alignment with PUR's mission and unlocking project financing. This role combines hands-on technical leadership in soil carbon sequestration methodologies with strategic collaboration across global teams and clients. Your work will directly translate into scalable regenerative farming practices that restore ecosystems while meeting corporate sustainability targets.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing technical specifications for a new regenerative agriculture project in Latin America, advising a client team on soil carbon measurement methodologies, and developing financial models for an upcoming initiative. You could spend the morning analyzing field data from temperate ecosystem projects and the afternoon preparing for a stakeholder presentation on emissions reduction strategies.
