GREENZERO unterstützt Unternehmen und Städte bei der nachhaltigen Transformation. Unsere Mission ist es, unseren Kunden dabei zu helfen, ihre Umweltwirkungen zu neutralisieren und gleichzeitig wirtschaftlich zu profitieren. Mit unseren Dienstleistungen und Produkten wollen wir einen positiven Beitrag zur Reduzierung des ökologischen Fußabdrucks leisten und gleichzeitig finanzielle Vorteile für unsere Kunden schaffen.

📋 Description

• You are responsible for ensuring we have a sufficient supply of ecological credits/land available. • You talk to landowners, build a reliable network of suppliers/owners, and negotiate with partners who develop ecological credits themselves. • You will spend the majority of your time engaging with owners — because without land there are no ecological credits. • You report directly to executive management. • Supplier management: You are the contact person for our existing suppliers, negotiate prices and maintain clean, accurate data in our system. • You initiate follow-up tasks — for example, when a customer needs ecological credits that must be calculated using a different valuation method used by a federal state. • Acquiring new suppliers: You actively look for suppliers in the regions where our supply is currently insufficient. • You approach owners directly — from a farmer with 50 hectares to a family-run operation with several thousand hectares — and build long-term relationships. • Building partnerships: You win partners who develop ecological credits themselves — land agencies, planning firms, landscape developers. • You negotiate framework agreements and long-term contracts with them for future projects. • Strategy input: You help decide when we should develop ecological credits in-house, when to purchase them, and when to cooperate with a partner. For this you would evaluate costs, capital requirements, risk and speed.

🎯 Requirements

• 1–3 years of professional experience in land management, real estate (land or agricultural sector), agriculture, forestry or a similar field • German fluent in spoken and written form (at least C1) • You can communicate with a wide range of landowners on equal terms — from a farmer with 50 hectares to the manager of a family operation with several thousand hectares • You work in a structured and thorough manner — you keep data and lists as well organized as you conduct conversations • You are hands-on, take initiative, and perform well with little hierarchy and a high level of personal responsibility • Experience with ecological credits (Ökopunkte), compensatory areas or land agencies is a plus • You bring a network within agriculture and forestry or among larger family-run farms • You are familiar with German nature conservation law and the different valuation methods used by the federal states • You have previous experience working in a joint company with two partners or in negotiating with business partners • English for communication with partners and investors

🏖️ Benefits

• Start your day the way you want — hybrid model and flexible hours (2 days/week in the office, the rest remote) • Fair and transparent salary: €50,000 – €70,000 gross/year — depending on experience • The opportunity to not only discuss processes but also to actively shape and create them • Modern equipment with an incredible view over the Ruhr area at Design Office Essen • Only a 5-minute walk to the train station, ample parking options, and a subsidy for the Deutschlandticket • A team that truly believes in what it does — every single day!
