We are recruiting several Assistant project Managers and welcome recent graduates – a Master degree is not required. This role suits someone organised, proactive, curious, and adaptable, who shared same sense of purpose.
Why join us?
We are committed to supporting diversity throughout Proforest globally, ensuring an inclusive environment where all individuals can thrive and therefore welcome applications from all.
Proforest is a dynamic not-for-profit organisation with global presence that has established itself as a leader in the development and implementation of sustainable production and sourcing of agricultural and forestry commodities, including soy, sugar, palm oil, cocoa, beef and timber. We support agricultural and forestry production and sourcing that delivers positive outcomes for people, nature and climate through supporting companies, effective collaboration and developing knowledge and capacity building.
Within and beyond supply chains, we work with companies, government departments, non-governmental and civil society organizations, to have positive social and environmental outcomes in the places where commodities are produced. These positive outcomes provide the compass for all our work, including protecting and restoring forests and natural ecosystems, conserving biodiversity, advancing gender equality and respecting human rights.
