CONTEXT OF ROLE
NatureMetrics is on a mission to turn nature into data. We are a rapid-growth scientific technology company that uses environmental DNA to deliver essential data on biodiversity to decision-makers across a range of sectors including infrastructure, extractives, fresh water, conservation and marine & energy. We are also expanding into nature-based solutions, food and consumer goods supply chains, agriculture and financial services.
We have grown rapidly since our creation in 2016. NatureMetrics has delivered projects in over 70 different countries, servicing them from our HQ and main lab in Guildford, our new lab in Canada, and via our business development team in the UK, continental Europe, South Africa and North America. We have successfully raised money through a series of investment rounds to position the organisation for rapid growth, and are seeing our project revenues grow rapidly too. We aim to be the premier provider of nature data to companies globally by 2025.
We are a team of bright, high-energy individuals who are excited to be breaking new ground and disrupting the world of nature monitoring. We take great pride in our work and are seeking new team members who will do the same.
MAIN PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE JOB
You will be part of a team of business developers, each responsible for different geographical regions and sectors and will report to our sector manager and ultimately the Business Development Director. You will also work closely with the rest of our team. The role will ideally be based in our offices in the Egham area but this is not a prerequisite. The role may also involve occasional travel. This is a role that carries a high level of responsibility. You will be comfortable working autonomously where necessary but must ultimately thrive as part of a team.
Familiarity with the tools we use (e.g. environmental DNA and metabarcoding) is helpful but not essential for this role since full training will be provided. Of greater importance is experience with the mining and extractive industry, preferably in the field of environmental management, ecology, biodiversity science/ conservation.
