What we do:
At Arable, our goal is to connect all the world’s farms to help optimize the global food system. This is an ambitious goal, but the need has never been greater to rethink how we will feed an ever-growing population and reduce our impact on natural resources.

This project is designed to demonstrate the power of combining ground truth crop intelligence with remote-sensed data in a science-based model to produce an accurate and scalable carbon measurement and verification (MRV) system. It will leverage and integrate the latest in digital agriculture technology advancements (including in-field weather, crop, and soil sensing hardware and cutting-edge carbon monitoring solutions) to provide accurate and trusted carbon estimation and verification at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.

- Contribute to the strategic planning process, leveraging your knowledge of the Brazilian agriculture sector to identify new opportunities, potential challenges, and innovative approaches. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and refine program strategies.
- Monitor program and project progress, evaluate performance metrics, and provide regular updates to key stakeholders and the executive steering committee. Prepare comprehensive reports summarizing program and project accomplishments, challenges, and recommendations for continuous improvement.

- Bachelor's degree in business, agriculture, or related field
