    About Pivotal: 

    We are a team of ecologists and technologists who believe good business must be good for nature. We are revolutionizing the nature space by linking biodiversity commitments and actions to real, auditable data. Evidence of real improvements in biodiversity is critical to the expansion of innovative financial mechanisms which fund the restoration of nature. Without this evidence, investors are exposed to the risk of false promises, human bias and reputational damage. 

     

    Following our €5.6m seed round investment from some of Europe’s leading VCs and advocates for a better planet, we are growing our team to support our next stage of growth. We are here to build an institution that changes the way the world collaboratively works on one of the largest problems our planet is facing, and the only way we can do that is by bringing together a team who is passionate about restoring nature in new and exciting ways.

    • Impact; you will be joining us in the early days of the business, giving you plenty of opportunities to contribute to developing operational processes that will be critical to how value is unlocked from nature.
