We seek a Carbon Removal Asset Management Lead with high-performing, curiosity-driven individual to join as a people manager focused on carbon removal asset management. In this capacity, you will play a key role in securing carbon credits for Microsoft to be carbon neutral annually and negative by 2030. Our industry-leading carbon removal team has and will continue to sign agreements with suppliers of high-quality carbon dioxide removal (CDR).  You will manage a growing team of CDR asset managers and ensure that those agreements come to fruition, from receiving deliveries of carbon credits and other supplier reports, partnering with suppliers to address delivery challenges that may arise from time to time, and supporting the development of processes and tools to allow for the program’s successful portfolio growth.  You will apply an existing skillset in asset or contract management and personal commitment to meaningful climate action to a quickly developing industry, ensuring that the CDR program has the right infrastructure to rapidly scale.
