They are uniquely positioned at the intersection of business, sustainability, and innovation, offering a platform to influence corporate sustainability leaders through storytelling, community, and analysis.

About This Role

As Manager, Nature and Water, you will lead the strategic development of nature and water content across GreenBiz's flagship events and peer networks. This role is impactful because it shapes how corporate leaders understand and act on nature-related risks and opportunities, directly influencing industry practices. You'll also facilitate exclusive peer groups, translating complex environmental topics into actionable business insights.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with checking Trellis Network community discussions and responding to member queries. You might then draft an article synthesizing a new TNFD guidance, followed by a virtual meeting with a corporate partner to co-design a session for an upcoming event. Afternoons could involve facilitating a peer group call on water risk, then analyzing feedback to refine future programming.
