At Indigo, our mission is: harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet. We started down this path leveraging microbiology, but we have quickly expanded across the entire agriculture supply chain.

IndigoCarbon and the broader Terraton Initiative is the most explicit expression of our sustainability goals yet. The Terraton Initiative is working to remove 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, sequester it in agricultural soils, and by doing that, improve the health of the soil, the profitability of farmers, the quality of our food, and the health of our planet. This goal is massive, and it will require a diverse team to make it happen. If you’ve been looking for a company that moves at the speed of Silicon Valley and is explicitly taking on climate change, we’d love to hear from you.

The Manager of Commercial and Data Systems Enablement will be responsible for the end-to-end data quality of our carbon credits. Fundamentally, carbon credits are a data product – the credit is only as valuable as the quality of the data that supports the claim that a ton of CO2e has been removed from the atmosphere. At Indigo, we aspire to have the most rigorous, transparent, credible carbon claims in the world. The data that supports these claims will be sourced from farmers, Indigo Agronomists, satellites, 3rd parties, and publicly available data. If you are excited about being the business owner of a multi-faceted, multi-stakeholder data flow that will enable the world’s most hopeful solution to climate change, this role could be a perfect fit.

This role will report to the Head of Carbon Operations.

The company is headquartered in Boston, MA, with additional offices in Memphis, TN, Research Triangle Park, NC, Sydney, Australia, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and São Paulo, Brazil. www.indigoag.com
