​Use your technical skills to inform investments in the rapidly emerging Natural Assets investment class and positively impact people and ecosystems by joining the high performing Agriculture & Natural Assets team of Macquarie Asset Management, a world-leading alternative asset manager, as Global Geospatial Analyst.

As a Global Geospatial Analyst within our Agriculture & Natural Assets team, you will innovatively use spatial analyses and build tools to perform critical due diligence on elements of investment opportunities, such as carbon sequestration or conservation potential that relate to Macquarie’s broader investment thesis about nature-based solutions and long-term value creation. You will have opportunity to develop and implement techniques to analyze ecological patterns and relationships across different geographical contexts, supporting business leaders to identify investment opportunities that benefit from emerging carbon and other ecosystem services markets. For investments in the forestry sector, you will play a key role in supporting development of forest carbon models, forest inventory analyses and growth and yield models.

While our preference is for the position to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we will consider candidates from other locations across North America.

The expansion of Macquarie Asset Management’s Natural Assets capabilities continues our mission to deliver positive impact for everyone by developing investment products relating to nature-based solutions and carbon markets that accelerate the transition to global net zero emissions. Developing our capabilities and products in Natural Assets will involve leveraging Macquarie Asset Management’s decades of expertise, skills and resources in green investment and sustainability.

You will have a BA/BS degree in natural resources management, conservation, environmental studies, forestry, or another related field and 3 years of experience. You will have proven experience with interpretation of image analysis, complex spatial analysis, data modelling and landscape scenario analysis, as well as experience operating GIS software (including ArcGIS), to analyze data and produce reports and maps. Experience related to forest operations, forest carbon or conservation will be viewed favorably.
If you have a high achievement drive with technical experience, combined with an analytical and entrepreneurial mindset, and an interest in bringing best-in-class science to a leading financial services organization, then this could be the opportunity for you.
