YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be the one keeping close contact to the participants of our remineralization and carbon removal projects, coordinating the activities in the field under close collaboration with our science team. You are responsible for developing and implementing new protocols aimed at quantifying carbon removal and agronomic benefits of rock powder use (enhanced rock weathering) in different crop and management systems on the field level.

You will also be involved in developing new projects throughout Brazil where you have to win new farmers and support their contracting together with legal team, COO and Country Manager. To give you a perspective: In 2024 we plans to spread up to 250.000 tons of remineralizer on ca. 25.000 ha of farmland. Through your charisma and dedication you will need to win the farmers for our projects and maintain a healthy and happy relationship.

Your activities will also include representing company at events as well as developing activities with interested farmers where you need to answer their questions and stand your ground. You will also be responsible for co-creating and sharing exclusive materials with our farmers (webinars, papers, posters, etc), this way increasing the attractivity of our community.

Furthermore you will participate in the process to create novel Business Models to attract farmers for remineralization and carbon removal activities in the long run, always with the goal to create a win-win situation for the involved farmers and mines. The role would be based in Piracicaba and require travel, in a first step in São Paulo state. Over the next few years, we intend to scale our activities to the whole country and extend our team to enable InPlanet to operate on a national level.
