The role

Join our team!
 
We are a market-leading nature tech company on a mission to make nature measurable and actionable at scale. Our platform delivers vital insights on species, habitats, and nature-related risks, helping businesses across sectors - from mining and renewable to CGS and financial services - make smarter, more sustainable decisions. 

As global leaders in biodiversity monitoring and eDNA analysis, we are transforming how nature is measured. Our technology makes biodiversity insights accessible, actionable, and scalable, powering change from conservation to industry. Recognised as Earthshot Prize Finalists 2024, BloombergNEF Pioneers 2024, World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers 2024, and part of the TechNation Future Fifty 2025, we are shaping the future of how organisations understand and protect nature. 

Our clients use NatureMetrics data to make critical decisions on how to protect and restore nature. This role sits at the heart of their experience ensuring that they see Naturemetrics as a trusted MRV partner. Covering off all aspects of their journey, this role really shapes how organisations such as Unilever, WWF, Amazon and Anglo American build their biodiversity playbooks. 

As we enter a new phase of rapid global growth, we are seeking a Sales Operations Manager to own the sales operations process, optimise our tech stack, and ensure our sales and operations teams are synchronised to deliver a seamless experience for our clients. This is a role for someone who thrives with change and growth. We are looking for a builder who can move at speed and is comfortable in the ambiguity of a scale-up.
