About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.
For this posting, we are looking to hire 2-3 Analyst and/or Associate roles:
One role will be a generalist focused fully on project development
One to two hires will have a portion of their role that leans into the scientific modeling side of project development, benefit scoping and evaluation, science communication, and research.
Position responsibilities include supporting execution and day-to-day operations for individual projects, fostering and managing relationships with project partners, facilitating the advancement of working relationships between Blue Forest and beneficiary organizations, and partnering with Managers and Directors to connect day-to-day operations with a long-term strategy.
The project development aspect of the role involves being detail-oriented during day-to-day operations and execution while supporting Managers and Directors with strategy. Analysts and Associates play a key role in project development by developing written materials, working with Managers and Directors to give presentations, and developing relationships with partners. In addition, Analysts and Associates spend their time supporting or servicing as lead coordinator for special projects within other departments at Blue Forest.
Responsibilities & Duties
Individual FRB Project Development (50-75%)
Support the development of multiple FRB projects from conception to execution, including bringing structure and processes to innovative and ambiguous projects. Project workstreams will include:
Partnering with land managers (such as the Forest Service) on implementation strategies for priority restoration projects
Researching and engaging potential project beneficiaries
Quantifying and communicating project benefits with internal and external science partners
Developing proposals and securing funding commitments from beneficiaries
Engaging community stakeholders, Native nations, and potential project collaborators
Develop and execute project materials such as presentations, two-pagers, and memorandums to support project development and partner engagement
Foster relationships with project development partners across a portfolio of project assignments
Integrate and enhance DEI and tribal engagement throughout the project development process
Developing Expertise (20-40%)
Identify one to two areas to develop expertise within the organization. This could include a geographic or ecosystem focus, implementation or permitting, communications, scientific research, facilitation, etc.
For one to two hires, ecosystem benefit modeling and benefit scoping will likely be 30-45% of the role. This could include modeling fire ecology, forest or watershed restoration, or research on other benefits of restoration activities.
Play a key role in supporting initiatives in these areas of expertise, with increasing levels of leadership
Partnerships, Operations, and Communications (10-15%)
Support planning site visits with project partners, executing grant reporting, enhancing internal knowledge sharing, and developing system processes and organization

About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.
For this posting, we are looking to hire 2-3 Analyst and/or Associate roles:
One role will be a generalist focused fully on project development
One to two hires will have a portion of their role that leans into the scientific modeling side of project development, benefit scoping and evaluation, science communication, and research.
Position responsibilities include supporting execution and day-to-day operations for individual projects, fostering and managing relationships with project partners, facilitating the advancement of working relationships between Blue Forest and beneficiary organizations, and partnering with Managers and Directors to connect day-to-day operations with a long-term strategy.
The project development aspect of the role involves being detail-oriented during day-to-day operations and execution while supporting Managers and Directors with strategy. Analysts and Associates play a key role in project development by developing written materials, working with Managers and Directors to give presentations, and developing relationships with partners. In addition, Analysts and Associates spend their time supporting or servicing as lead coordinator for special projects within other departments at Blue Forest.
Responsibilities & Duties
Individual FRB Project Development (50-75%)
Support the development of multiple FRB projects from conception to execution, including bringing structure and processes to innovative and ambiguous projects. Project workstreams will include:
Partnering with land managers (such as the Forest Service) on implementation strategies for priority restoration projects
Researching and engaging potential project beneficiaries
Quantifying and communicating project benefits with internal and external science partners
Developing proposals and securing funding commitments from beneficiaries
Engaging community stakeholders, Native nations, and potential project collaborators
Develop and execute project materials such as presentations, two-pagers, and memorandums to support project development and partner engagement
Foster relationships with project development partners across a portfolio of project assignments
Integrate and enhance DEI and tribal engagement throughout the project development process
Developing Expertise (20-40%)
Identify one to two areas to develop expertise within the organization. This could include a geographic or ecosystem focus, implementation or permitting, communications, scientific research, facilitation, etc.
For one to two hires, ecosystem benefit modeling and benefit scoping will likely be 30-45% of the role. This could include modeling fire ecology, forest or watershed restoration, or research on other benefits of restoration activities.
Play a key role in supporting initiatives in these areas of expertise, with increasing levels of leadership
Partnerships, Operations, and Communications (10-15%)
Support planning site visits with project partners, executing grant reporting, enhancing internal knowledge sharing, and developing system processes and organization
Develop communications materials such as 2-pagers, story maps, and memos for projects, initiatives, and research project deliverables
Contribute to the Blue Forest newsletter and other email and social media campaigns where appropriate and where materials can elevate key partnerships and/or project visibility
