The successful candidate will have an outstanding track record of helping companies develop effective strategies to advance net-positive water stewardship goals as well as measuring and managing water-related risks and opportunities, transparently reporting on progress, and developing and implementing solutions to contribute to proactive restoration of watersheds.

As a key leader in expanding our Nature offerings, the Service Line leader will be responsible for supporting clients in developing and implementing context-based water targets, promoting uptake of tools and technologies to steward freshwater, and measure impacts on critical natural resource concerns within watersheds with regard to shared water challenges such as water quantity and water quality.
