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 hectares 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.

We are a dynamic company surrounded by people who care. Expect colleagues who are engaged, sharp and - most importantly - take pride in our mission, our work and each other. We offer a competitive salary, good benefits and a flexible way of working.
We’re looking to fill this position as soon as possible. Our recruitment process is fair and thorough, consisting of an initial call to clarify information we both need to decide to proceed, and two in-person interview rounds, involving a case study to give you more detailed insight to the role, and a chance to meet the team and senior leaders.
We welcome different perspectives and experiences because we believe this is the foundation for achieving high-integrity nature restoration at scale. We believe in equal opportunities for everyone and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

We plant trees to bring degraded land back to life. You remove carbon from the air and restore nature.
Nature restoration you can stand behind. Land Life delivers certified carbon removal and verifiable biodiversity outcomes for corporate partners who can't afford to get this wrong. From site selection and project design through to implementation and monitoring, we use globally respected science and custom-built, in-house tech to develop nature restoration projects that generate carbon credits that hold up to scrutiny. We restore degraded land that cannot recover without human intervention. This is some of the most meaningful work in restoration – bringing damaged landscapes back to life where the need is greatest, and where 12+ years of hands-on experience, ecological expertise and careful project design make the difference between a project that looks good on paper and one that delivers real outcomes for climate, biodiversity and communities. Our integrated approach covers the full restoration lifecycle: from carbon modelling through to planting, long-term monitoring and verified carbon issuance. Proprietary tools and technology – including our FastTrack carbon projection model, automated remote sensing dashboard and Tree Monitoring app – allow us to model outcomes precisely, apply rigorous monitoring protocols, and report transparently, giving corporate partners and investors the certainty they need to stand behind their carbon commitments. With carbon removal and biodiversity-led projects across Europe, Australia, North America and Indonesia, Land Life has restored over 19,000 hectares across 180+ projects and planted more than 16 million trees in collaboration with 57+ partners worldwide. Certified under recognised standards including VCS and ACCU, our restoration projects deliver outcomes that extend beyond carbon – encompassing ecosystem recovery, biodiversity gains, Indigenous partnerships and permanent land protection. In a carbon market where the bar keeps rising, Land Life is built to meet it.
