Project Partner Relationship Management

• Act as the main point of contact for project partners on ongoing projects.

• Support partners in the operational implementation of projects.

• Monitor carbon certification activities and review key deliverables throughout the different stages of the certification process, including feasibility, PDD, validation, verification, monitoring, audits and interactions with certification standards.

• Ensure compliance with project timelines and key deadlines.

• Plan and coordinate audits conducted by independent external auditors and support local partners throughout the audit process.

• Produce and regularly update project documentation, including project factsheets, activity and impact reports, and photo and video databases.

Project and Investment Monitoring

• Coordinate project operations, including key activities and milestones, monitor progress and KPIs, and review deliverables produced by project partners.

• Conduct field visits and audits on behalf of Removall.

• Monitor project budgets and financial reporting.

• Ensure contractual and administrative follow-up with project partners.

• Prepare and facilitate quarterly project review committees, as well as internal project monitoring meetings.


Preferred experience
