Love what you do

We're TerraPass, a small, environmental for-profit located in downtown San Francisco. Our mission is to put simple tools for fighting climate change into the hands of individuals and businesses. The two most important things we do are fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and educate people about the nature of and solutions to global warming.

Some things you should know about us:

• We're proud of our for-profit status. We believe in social entrepreneurship, and we think that business is one of the most powerful forces for social change.
• We are extremely scrappy. We believe in doing a lot with a little.
• We are policy wonkish. This isn't feel-good environmentalism (although you will feel good working here). Carbon markets are a fascinating blend of economics, politics, and environmental science. You should acquaint yourself with the style and tone of discussion over at our blog.
• We are extremely open with our customers. We value our integrity above all else, and we aren't afraid to tackle difficult questions in a forthright manner.

And some things about you (the ideal candidate):

• You care about green issues, even if you're not necessarily a policy expert (yet). Carbon markets are a relatively new phenomenon, and you don't have to have a PhD in environmental finance to work at TerraPass. You should, however, be excited to learn.
• You are excited by Web technology. TerraPass is an internet retailer. We live and breathe new media. So should you.
• You are turned on by the idea of working with consumers. We sell stuff. Do you like to talk to customers? Do you have a good head for creating products that people will love?
