Great Yellow makes landscape regeneration investable and scalable.

We envision a future where regenerative land-use is the norm, delivering measurable environmental recovery, resilient food systems, and long-term economic value. Great Yellow exists create a clear, practical pathway to making this future a reality.

Today, the way we use and manage land is pushing natural and economic systems to a breaking point. Fragile food supply chains, degraded ecosystems, rising climate risk and failing infrastructure are driving real and growing costs for communities and the economy.

By rethinking how we work with land and value nature, we can create landscapes that provide clean water, abundant nature, stable production, and long term security.

Great Yellow works to drive this transformation, moving beyond extractive models to unlock economic and ecological regeneration.

We work with:

• Land Managers of ambitious nature recovery projects to plan and deliver ambitious, landscape-scale transformation

• Project Investors seeking opportunities to generate robust, risk-adjusted returns alongside verified environmental impact

• Buyers of ecosystem services seeking high-integrity, high-impact natural capital solutions to strengthen resilience and reduce nature-related risks

• And many other partners and specialists in the restoration journey

This is a super hands-on role that covers a bit of everything — recruitment, onboarding, and people ops. It’s perfect for someone who loves variety and wants to shape great experiences from start to finish. You’ll work closely with our Talent Lead to bring our people strategy to life — from hiring great people to building smooth, scalable processes that make every stage of the employee journey feel seamless.

As our Recruiter & People Ops Partner, you’ll run the full hiring process, make sure every new joiner has a smooth (and fun!) onboarding experience, and keep all things people running seamlessly behind the scenes.

We’re still growing and figuring out the best ways of working, so you’ll have loads of freedom (and support) to experiment, build, and improve the systems and processes that help our team — and company — thrive.
