Description

Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV) is an empirically based data collection protocol, created and managed by the Savory Institute (SI), that provides practical and scalable soil and landscape assessment methodology by tracking regenerative outcomes in biodiversity, soil health, and ecosystem function.

EOV validates regenerative outcomes of land around the world to accelerate SI’s mission of facilitating the large-scale regeneration of the world's grasslands and the livelihoods of their inhabitants, through Holistic Management. As a program, EOV strives to be contextually relevant, scientifically robust, farmer-first, scalable, and outcome-based.

EOV Statement of Purpose: To provide and evolve a scientifically robust methodology to measure and verify ecological outcomes, to inform good land management, to enable Land to Market to differentiate offerings in the marketplaces, and to position associated data in the high-quality ecosystem markets.

EOV Project Manager/Director

The EOV Project Manager/Director will contribute to a range of tasks supporting the team’s goals and ensuring the EOV program continues to grow, scale, and maintain integrity in alignment with the organization’s mission.

An ideal candidate will have interest and experience in planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing multiple projects of varying size and scope involving both internal and external stakeholders. In addition, relevant experience in the use of the EOV protocol is highly desirable and a passion for data and land monitoring will be needed for success in the role. This role will be accountable for planning and allocating resources within a budget, monitoring progress, and keeping stakeholders informed throughout project life cycles.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Contribute to continuously and proactively refining and course correcting EOV scientific direction and program strategies; the program is intended to evolve in parallel with scientific findings, stakeholders, markets, technology and implementation realities, so being creative and flexible to remain advancing toward mission is critical.
  • Review EOV program goals and KPIs for the year
  • Develop and implement projects to advance towards identified goals
  • Be responsible and accountable for projects, facilitate progress and coordinate with others as needed to keep projects on task

  • Operate within other EOV systems by using appropriate technology platforms (e.g. Salesforce, EOV Platform and mobile app, Notion, Zoom, Google Suite, etc.)
  • Meet with broader Savory team members on a regular basis to ensure larger team and EOV team continue to stay aligned
  • Meet with EOV Quality Assurance (QA) team and/or supervisor on a regular basis

The quickly growing and dynamic nature of the EOV program within the Savory Institute may require our small team to take on other responsibilities as needed beyond what has been outlined above. This role will require adaptability and willingness to jump in wherever and whenever requested.
