ZCC Program Coordinator

What We Can Achieve Together

Within TNC´s global program, Provide Food and Water, TNC’s Zero Conversion Commodities (ZCC) is a global and mature strategy with the goal of transforming the food system for soy, cattle, and palm oil, primarily but not limited to, by enabling producers in critical ecosystems of South America to meet growing demand without converting additional land for farming. We work in partnership with value chain actors to halt habitat conversion caused by commodity production in highly biodiverse and threatened biomes, including the Brazilian Amazon, the Brazilian Cerrado, the Gran Chaco of Argentina and Paraguay, and Indonesia.

ZCC Program Coordinator will provide essential support to the ZCC Strategy by ensuring that managerial and operational information for the strategy is up to date across different channels, as well as supporting administrative, contract coordination, financial, and programmatic activities. This role involves creating and maintaining data and strategy dashboards, including staffing lists, org charts, mailing lists, general presentations about the strategy, such as onboarding, progress, and updates of the strategy for all-team calls, analyzing results of the annual collaboration survey, preparing a presentation to report results, and archiving and organizing information.

They will also support contracting and procurement processes, manage payments and invoicing, and assist some core leadership team members of the strategy with scheduling meetings and administrative tasks.

They will contribute to event planning, such as managing logistics and/or facilitating meetings. They will liaise with the Certified Contracts Specialist assigned to the projects and the project managers, facilitating the contracts workflow by solving problems and effectively communicating and distributing information. They will also be appointed as “project coordinator” for the projects under the strategy and will support the organization and delivery of in-person and virtual meetings, including logistics arrangements.

This is a full-time remote position, preferably for candidates located in Brazil, where most of the work is deployed, and the team is based. Fluency in Portuguese and English is highly desirable. Please submit your resume and cover letter in English only.
