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.

FrameworkESG is a specialty consulting firm that helps clients align their thinking, strategies, and operations with evolving environmental, societal, and economic realities.

In our eighteen years in business, we have built a curious and collaborative culture that enables our people to bring their best thinking to our clients to help them meet their stakeholders’ expectations and their business objectives.

You must have a keen ability to synthesize analysis and offer insights that clients can use in building and implementing strategies around ESG issues. You must have exceptional communication skills and a comfort speaking with high-level executives.
The Position: As a consultant, you will advise our clients through multifaceted consulting engagements across sectors to develop ESG vision, strategies, and roadmaps; interpret complex analyses and research; and engage with senior leaders and influencers outside the company. Consultants both lead projects and serve as individual contributors across all of our consulting services and play a key role in advancing client projects and relationships.
Consultants collaborate with other team members—consultants and analysts—to produce high-quality, actionable deliverables in support of our client projects, which may include the following:
Landscape assessments: Analyses of business and ESG trends, ratings and rankings, peer performance, and client activities to help clients understand their ESG landscape and areas for improvement
Materiality analysis: Following our proprietary methodology, conduct stakeholder research, prepare surveys and interviews to engage stakeholders, and consolidate results
Strategies and roadmapping: bringing the insights gleaned from various analyses
Reporting, disclosure, and other ESG communications: Develop or lead the development of authentic, credible communications that address stakeholder information needs and demonstrate progress on key ESG issues
You will also contribute to Framework’s business and operations, including support of capabilities presentations, proposals, and marketing and thought-leadership content.
