Terraformation accelerates the restoration of native forests to reverse climate change. Our carbon projects span multiple geographies and involve complex partnerships, funding structures, and cross-functional coordination. The Senior Global Operations Manager, improves how we operate by strengthening systems, clarifying expectations, reinforcing operating rhythms, and translating priorities into coordinated execution across teams. This role sits at the intersection of systems design and portfolio execution. While technical, legal, cultural, and regulatory complexity is supported by dedicated functional leads, this role must absorb and navigate that complexity well enough to design systems and frameworks that hold up across varied regional and partner contexts — and that remain functional as the portfolio scales.
