Edinburgh, United Kingdom Plan Vivo Foundation Full time

The Role

The main focus of this role will be to provide support across Plan Vivo Foundations’ (PVF) new
Biodiversity Standard - PV Nature, through the
development and integration of new/pipeline projects. The officer will work as part of the PVF
operational team (the Secretariat) and the role involves working closely with the Projects Team
and the Biodiversity Coordinator (who is the line manager for this role). The role is based in
Edinburgh, with the successful applicant able to work from our Edinburgh office and already
holding the right to live and work in the UK. The role is full-time, on a 12-month contract,
which may be extended, depending on performance and project funding.

About Plan Vivo

The Plan Vivo Foundation (PVF) is an internationally focused charity, registered in Scotland.
Its purpose is to develop and oversee the Plan Vivo Standards (PV Climate and PV Nature) and
support Plan Vivo-certified projects worldwide. ‘Plan Vivo’ provides a framework and Standard
for community-based payments for ecosystem services, principally in developing countries. Its
growing portfolio of 28 operational and over 20 pipeline projects comprise a diverse range of
ecosystem restoration and protection projects, as well as livelihoods development initiatives.
These empower smallholder farmers and rural communities to reduce and reverse ecosystem
degradation, while improving natural resource management to meet basic needs. Plan Vivo
certified projects are typically geared around land-use, forestry and blue carbon
interventions, with a clear link to water, biodiversity and livelihoods development activities.
Plan Vivo’s work leverages both private sector and donor financed activities, working with a
growing range of partner organisations to deliver on some of the world’s most pressing global
challenges. Plan Vivo engages academia, the private sector, sustainability consultancies, NGOs
and civil society actors in order to develop and improve climate mitigation and adaptation
solutions. Its work touches on natural climate solutions, net zero targets, zero deforestation
supply chains and the Sustainable Development Goals.

**PVF’s charitable aims are to**:
Reduce poverty through engaging rural communities in sustainable land-use projects;
Promote environmental protection and improvement through biodiversity conservation and the
restoration, protection and management of terrestrial and marine ecosystems;
Advance education and build local capacity through the transfer of knowledge, skills and
resources to developing countries.

The Plan Vivo Foundation has the competence and responsibility to:
Take all decisions on the registration and status of Plan Vivo projects;
Annually review projects and coordinate third-party validation and approve verifiers;
Approve project technical specifications and coordinate peer reviews by relevant experts;
Issue Plan Vivo Biodiversity Certificates (PVBCs) in respect of ecosystem services
generated by projects;
Develop the Plan Vivo System and Standard in consultation with stakeholders;
Maintain and disseminate clear and up-to-date information about Plan Vivo; and

Advocate for pro-poor, participatory approaches to biodiversity management and land use,
where Indigenous Peoples, local communities and smallholders are involved in the project design
and delivery.
