Company Description

Reclimate is a climate-tech venture focused on scaling durable carbon removal solutions. We work with partners across Southeast Asia and the Global South to develop high-impact carbon projects that build climate resilience, support rural livelihoods, and strengthen responsible waste management. With an emphasis on high-integrity reporting and co-benefits for communities, we are working to unlock the Global South's potential as a key solution provider in the global climate movement.

We are looking for someone experienced in the agritechnology or agricultural sector (required), either from a sales background or interested in joining a commercial role.

This role sits at the intersection of technical knowledge and commercial execution. You will work closely with the team to translate complex climate, carbon, and sustainability concepts into clear value propositions for buyers, partners, and stakeholders.

• Prepare and update pitch decks, proposals, and other commercial materials as needed.
• Translate project-level technical details into client-ready narratives and offerings.
• Coordinate with technical and operations teams to align commercial discussions with project realities.
• Track leads, conversations, and deal progress using internal tools.
• Attend external meetings, industry events, and site visits as required to support business development.

What You Will Gain

• Hands-on experience in climate-tech business development and building commercial processes from the ground up.
• Practical experience bridging science, sustainability, and commercial decision-making.
• Direct mentorship in sales, partnerships, and negotiation.
• Cross-functional exposure to carbon projects, biomass supply chains, and MRV systems.
• A clear growth pathway into senior business development, partnerships, or commercial roles.

Requirements

• Background or 1-3 years experience in agriculture/plantation/agro business development
• Able to demonstrate professional connections or experience in the agricultural sector.
• Have a deep interest in advancing climate technology and sustainable solutions.
• Comfortable engaging with technical documents and asking critical questions.
• Ability to explain scientific or technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Proactive, organised, and willing to learn client-facing and sales skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Strong written and spoken English (Additional languages are a plus!)
• Familiarity with Excel, Word, and PowerPoint tools.
