About Us
We are on a mission to accelerate the deployment of climate solutions by precisely quantifying decarbonization. We do this by developing the fabric that connects technology, policy and markets to every project developer.
Our Values
We are Tenacious
We are relentlessly focused on solving important problems for our customers that will help their carbon projects be more successful in improving the health of our climate.
We are Precise
Trust is paramount. At Mangrove we operate with surgical precision because we know that the success of our customers' carbon projects relies on their unwavering trust in our data and our platform’s meticulous ability to track CO2 and its respective emissions.
We are Thoughtful
We believe that the right solution requires a deep understanding of our customers’ needs and challenges. This understanding is manifested in every design and every solution that we build.
About the Role
We're seeking an exceptional Product Lead who believes that exceptional builders, armed with the right tools, outperform teams ten times their size. Reporting to the CEO, you'll own the product roadmap, lead product managers and designers, and be responsible for delivering products that create value for project developers and drive business growth.
This is a high-impact player-coach role where you'll shape not just what we build, but how we build it. You'll work closely with Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer Delivery to ensure we're building the right things, at the right time and building them right.
This role is perfect for someone with strong technical skills, an obsession with details, and a strong executive presence.
