The Global Ecosystems Atlas, an ambitious initiative to map and understand our planet's ecosystems, is seeking a remote-based consultant to lead the charge in engaging with early-adopter companies and financial institutions. The consultant's role will be to test the Atlas' dataset, gather insights, and ensure its adoption and strategic positioning, working at the intersection of environmental science, business, and finance.

Why it matters

The Global Ecosystems Atlas aims to create a comprehensive resource on ecosystems worldwide, but faces the challenge of standardizing and presenting nature's complexities in a way that is useful for businesses and finance. This consultant role is crucial in ensuring the Atlas' dataset is practical and relevant, influencing decisions that impact the planet's future.

The details

As the Business Engagement Specialist, the consultant will be the bridge between the Atlas and the business world. Their duties will include analyzing how businesses and financial institutions currently use nature-related frameworks and ecosystem data, identifying gaps and workflow challenges, and differentiating requirements across user groups. They will secure and lead collaborations with early-adopter companies, engage senior partners, coordinate onboarding and agreements, and oversee usability testing with the technical team. Additionally, they will lead the development of a flagship thought-leadership paper and coordinate messaging and content for high-profile events.

• The Global Ecosystems Atlas is currently in its Foundation for Market Fit phase, focusing on practical usability testing with business and finance users.
• The consultant's role will involve securing early-adopter collaborations and delivering key outputs, including a flagship paper, in early 2027.
