Millions find their next meal by cutting down the forests, a priceless resource that cools the earth and creates oxygen. Greenstand is working on an app-based tree tracking and tokenization project, that can reverse the cycle. We have built a functioning prototype and have millions of trees on our proof of concept system. Now we want to take it to the next level and share it with tree planting organizations around the world.
If you are a leader and want to impact lives and help turn the face of our planet green while expanding your project management skills then this could be the opportunity for you.
We are looking for an experienced technical project manager who can lead our volunteer development team in managing our microservice application development. You'll be responsible for full-cycle project management as well as keeping track of deliverables and risks.

Mission Statement
Greenstand is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization developing open-source technology to address climate change and alleviate poverty through digitizing environmental goods and services. We are made up of about 505 contributors across the globe. Our Treetracker app verifies and tracks individual trees, thus creating transparency in the reforestation sphere. Organizations and donors can locate individual trees and trade their ecological impact. By facilitating ownership of trees and their ecological services, Greenstand allows for tree-growing organizations to stay accountable.
Description
Greenstand develops mobile technology for better forestation techniques. Through our Treetracker app, rural smallholder farmers in some of the most remote communities on the planet are able to earn a sustainable income by planting, caring for, and tracking trees. Each tree grower takes a geotagged photo of their tree and uploads it to the Treetracker’s verification system, where Greenstanders verify that each photographed tree is alive and growing. Verified trees are digitized as Impact Tokens, which can be traded or sold among other Impact Wallet users within the Treetracker app.
Nasiyan was one of our first Treetracker. A single mother living with extreme visual and hearing impairments, she could barely afford to keep food on the table for herself and her three sons. However, since she began growing and tracking trees with Greenstand, her life has been looking up. Her young forest has become a small biodiversity hotspot, and with the income she has earned from tracking trees, she can now afford to send her boys to school.
