Senior Enterprise Process & Systems Lead

About Climate Friendly 

Acting to combat climate change is one of the world’s most pressing challenges. Climate Friendly was founded in 2003 as a profit-for-purpose business. Our growing team is passionate about active land management, and we are focused on finding economically viable solutions to maximise our impact on climate change. 

We are one of Australia’s largest and most experienced carbon farming project developers. This includes more than 190 projects with farmers, plantation managers, agribusiness, and Indigenous groups on carbon farming projects. 

The Opportunity
