Pitch a Role / General Opportunities

Job description

Are you curious to join the Cascade team, but do not see an active role that fits what you're looking for? Apply below. -- Join Cascade Climate, a new global nonprofit accelerating progress in climate interventions that leverage Earth’s natural systems—from soils to oceans to glaciers—to stabilize our climate. As a philanthropically-backed nonprofit, we work across science, industry, and policy to overcome the bottlenecks that are holding back the most promising open-system climate interventions. Since launching in June 2023, Cascade has organized around three main programmatic pillars: 1) market shaping, 2) accelerating science, and 3) driving policy outcomes. Our initial focus is advancing the development of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as a promising climate-smart agriculture and carbon removal solution, underpinned by its scientific evidence base and its potential for gigaton-scale, durable carbon dioxide removal. This year, we are excited to expand into other open system climate intervention pathways, such as marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). For more context, you can read our [blog post](https://cascadeclimate.org/foundations-for-a-healthy-erw-market-cycle) about the outlook for the ERW market or our broader thoughts on [leveling the playing field](https://greatunwind.substack.com/p/leveling-the-playing-field-for-open) for open-system carbon dioxide removal. We care most about you—your capabilities and mindsets—than about your exact background. Do you consistently show up with humility and contagious curiosity? Do you independently learn new things quickly and hungrily? Can you operate without a roadmap that’s been handed to you—tackling ambiguous problems and quickly imposing your own framework and structured plan? Are people wowed by the quality of written and analytical outputs you produce?
