At Land Life, our ambition is not just to create positive change, but to inspire it. We're on a mission to restore our planet's 2 billion acres of degraded land, by planting the right trees, at the right time, and in the right place; leveraging technology every step of the way; and unlocking carbon and other new markets to fund this work. Our team is global, our impact is significant, and now we're looking for a Regional Manager who will join our US team and possesses a diverse set of skills. This is an opportunity to make a direct, positive impact for local communities, biodiversity and to use nature-based solutions to mitigate and adapt our planet to climate change.
Together, we create impact you can see.
THIS IS US
Land Life is an international scale-up with over 10 years of experience in nature restoration. Last year we planted 3.5 million trees worldwide and were recognised as an UpLink Top Innovator at the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos.

THE ROLE
This year, in North America we aim to restore more than 3,000 acres of forest lost to wildfires. We are expanding our impact, projecting growth to 25,000 acres of restoration annually in the next 5 years. At the heart of our efforts in North America is a dedicated team of 6 professionals, set to grow to 10-15 staff in the next 18 months. This team works together to foster collaboration with local communities and partners; engage public and private landowners to implement high-quality, nature restoration; and partner with major companies and investors to unlock private markets to restore nature.

While you primarily operate autonomously, you actively collaborate with your counterparts within the North America team to ensure alignment and synergy across projects. Additionally, support from headquarters personnel is readily available to assist you as needed. You report to the Director North America.
