    Senior Technical Director, Global Heat Reduction Initiative

    Company Overview

    The Global Heat Reduction Registry, at SCS Global Services, is a platform and clearinghouse for the evaluation, registration, and financing of climate mitigation projects.

    We oversee projects that contribute meaningfully to the reduction of excess planetary heat, both in the near term and longer term.

    Our goal is to support efforts that can stabilize and ultimately restore Earth's climate, while simultaneously providing additional human health and environmental co-benefits in concert with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

    Our team is focused on projects that can be effectively deployed and scaled rapidly to slow the rise in global temperatures, using available and emerging methods and technologies.

    Job Overview

    SCS Global Services is launching the Global Heat Reduction Initiative ("GHR" or "Initiative"), a groundbreaking approach to climate change mitigation, climate accounting, and the voluntary carbon market, based on the latest IPCC science.

    The Initiative consists of the GHR Registry, GHR Footprint Verification as well as awareness, advocacy, and partnership efforts.

    We help businesses, governments, and NGOs to reduce their climate impact through measures that lower the planet's excess trapped heat in the short term so we can build a viable bridge to a net-zero future.

    GHR is seeking a highly competent Senior Technical Director to join our team with a primary focus on the Registry.

    As an expert in climate science and the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), this position will serve as the in-house technical lead for the new registry.

    GHR is the only registry in the voluntary carbon market (VCM) to issue credits backed by third-party verified reductions in fast-acting, previously unaccounted-for climate pollutants including methane, black carbon, and HFCs, as well as measures to mitigate the loss of climate-critical ecosystems and heat-reflective ice- and snowpacks.

    This role will review project design descriptions, write and review project methodologies, and certify reports made by Verification and Validation Bodies (VVBs).

    You will also work as needed with GHR's Scientific Technical Review Panel of experts and lend expertise to GHR's broader activities in climate advocacy and communications.

    The successful candidate will have deep experience with mitigation project methodologies, carbon market stakeholders, and the process of carbon credit development and issuance.

    This role must be committed to the highest standards of compliance and transparency and have the competence and agility to navigate a startup environment in an exciting new field of climate action.

    If this sounds like you, and you are eager to contribute to the growth of high-integrity, leading-edge climate mitigation strategies, we welcome your application.

    GHRi and the GHR Registry were established by SCS Global Services, a global leader in third-party environmental and sustainability verification, certification, auditing, testing, and standards development.
