About This Job


Location

Dallas, Texas (in-office)


Department:

Operations


Reports to:

Vice President, Operations


Who we are:

Sky Harvest exists to create sensible, cost-effective solutions to all who care about mitigating climate impact with precision and integrity. Sky Harvest creates carbon credits and sells them to corporate customers to offset their emissions. We do so by paying landowners

not

to harvest timber that they otherwise would. We work exclusively with small-acreage and underserved timberland operators in the United States to generate carbon credits. We are a project developer—not a broker, nor a marketplace. We’re passionate about fixing carbon markets. We’re passionate about sensible, practical solutions to this climate issue. And we have a humble, hard-working culture intrinsically motivated by the excellence and impact of our work. More importantly, Sky Harvest has a fresh edge in this space. We voluntarily issue credits under the True Credit framework, which requires fewer credits issued to ensure that each issued credit properly and completely offsets the negative climate impact of emissions elsewhere. To our knowledge we are the only developer issuing credits with multiple tons of carbon in each credit.


Why this role:

If you’re a hungry, self-motivated achiever who values excellent work quality and desires to

build

quickly at a fast-moving startup in the sustainability sector—this is the role for you.


What you’ll do:

The Director of Operations will support and lead critical initiatives across the company’s operations. This role offers a high degree of ownership, exposure to multiple facets of the business, and rapid advancement opportunities for high performers.


Responsibilities include:

Support and improve all aspects of operations: landowner relations, carbon quantification, and credit issuance

Manage the “Sky Harvest Machine” initiative to automate and expand operations at scale in an efficient, data-driven structure
Drive down the marginal cost of producing each carbon credit through meticulous cost analysis and informed investment in the Machine
Communicate directly with landowners and own enrollment, qualification, and contracting
Support vendor relationships and own projects with third-party technical consultants
Create analytical tools and dashboards to support operational tracking and decision-making
Draft internal memos, build Excel models, and produce deliverables that support execution across departments
Pitch in wherever needed, from sales presentations to office operations


What it takes:

A successful Director of Operations will naturally demonstrate a self-driven curiosity and need to achieve successful outcomes. She/he will be highly proficient and possess a strong work ethic. He/she will also be a quick learner and demonstrate humility commensurate with that of an effective team player.


The Director of Ops will possess:

Culture buy-in:

At Sky Harvest, we…

Activation:

the ability to convert a vision to execution with minimal direction

Analytical horsepower:

Range

to flex between serving as a hands-on doer—willing to get “in the weeds” as required—and an effective executive managing teams and partnerships

Systems thinking:

Commercial judgement

to autonomously negotiate and close landowner agreements, set a pricing strategy, and optimize allocation of resources

Organization, persistence, and influence

Persuasive and highly effective

communication skills

3-7 years of demonstrated high achievement in managing and executing lean operations in the private sector

Benefits:
