This role centers on leading the strategic development and technical validation of carbon projects within the agricultural sector. You will oversee the full lifecycle of carbon credits, from initial feasibility studies and methodology selection to the monitoring and monetization of results. Beyond carbon, you will drive the company’s broader sustainability agenda by managing essential industry certifications and navigating complex regulatory landscapes like the EUDR.

As part of a major grain trading joint venture, this position is pivotal in transforming traditional supply chain operations into low-carbon business models. By integrating high-integrity carbon projects into the logistics of grain export, you directly contribute to the decarbonization of the global food system while creating financial value through environmental assets. This is a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between heavy infrastructure and nature-based solutions.

This suits someone who possesses deep technical knowledge of carbon methodologies like REDD+ and thrives when coordinating diverse stakeholders, from rural producers to international certification bodies, within a fast-paced commodities trading environment.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The core mission involves orchestrating the entire carbon credit lifecycle, which includes technical validation of quantitative studies, choosing appropriate methodologies like REDD+ or ARR, and overseeing the preparation of Project Descriptions and Monitoring Reports. You will also be the primary lead for the corporate sustainability agenda, ensuring compliance with international regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and managing sector-specific certifications like RTRS and 2BSvs to maintain market access for grain exports.

Key learning opportunities for this job

Candidates will gain significant exposure to the integration of sustainability into global supply chains, specifically how a major trading house operates within the Toyota Tsusho ecosystem. This provides a front-row seat to the commercialization of environmental assets in the voluntary carbon market. Additionally, there is a strong opportunity to master international traceability standards and geospatial analysis tools, which are becoming the gold standard for agricultural compliance in the Brazilian MATOPIBA region.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The ideal profile holds a degree in Environmental Engineering, Agronomy, or a related field, paired with advanced English skills necessary for interacting with international auditors and corporate parents. You should have a proven track record in carbon project management, particularly with Verra or Gold Standard methodologies. We look for someone with the technical rigor to review complex datasets and the negotiation skills to engage effectively with rural landowners and institutional stakeholders alike.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

To stand out, demonstrate a clear understanding of the Arco Norte logistics corridor and the specific sustainability challenges of the MATOPIBA region. Mentioning experience with specific nature-based solutions and how they can be monetized in a trading context will be highly valued. Highlight any previous experience you have with audits and due diligence, as the ability to defend technical methodologies to rigorous third-party certifiers is a critical success factor for this coordinator role.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role focuses heavily on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and decarbonization within the grain supply chain. This involves shifting from traditional trading to a model that rewards carbon sequestration and forest conservation. There is also a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and traceability, ensuring that the commodities handled through the TEGRAM terminal meet the increasingly strict environmental criteria of the European and Asian markets.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

One of the primary hurdles will be bridging the gap between technical carbon requirements and the practical realities of rural production and logistics. Navigating the shifting landscape of global carbon regulations and local land-use laws requires constant vigilance. Furthermore, coordinating multiple stakeholders with competing interests—such as profit-driven producers and high-stringency certification bodies—demands high levels of diplomacy and technical authority.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day might begin with reviewing geospatial data and technical reports for a new carbon project, followed by a meeting with a certification body to discuss a recent audit finding. You would likely spend time collaborating with the commercial team to discuss the monetization strategy for available credits. Afternoons might involve engaging with rural partners or consultancies to monitor project progress, ending with a strategic review of how new EUDR requirements will impact the logistics chain for the coming quarter.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

This role offers a path toward senior strategic leadership within a global conglomerate. As the carbon market matures, the ability to lead these initiatives at a Toyota-affiliated company places you at the forefront of the green transition. Success here could lead to regional or global sustainability leadership positions, particularly as ESG reporting and carbon management become more deeply integrated into the Toyota Tsusho Corporation's global operations.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

You will interact frequently with rural producers and landowners on the ground, as well as external consultancies, auditors, and international certification bodies like Verra. Internally, you will partner with the Commercial, Logistics, and Legal departments, while also reporting to and coordinating with the sustainability leadership at the corporate parent level to ensure alignment with global ESG targets.
