Climate Integrity Lead

Patch exists to put the planet back in balance by scaling unified climate action through software, market infrastructure, and culture-driven execution. Every day our platform not only curates the world’s most trusted carbon-removal and environmental datasets—it also moves 100s of millions of dollars to projects that cut, capture, or store CO₂ for good.

Our culture is built on three non-negotiables:

• We build the future we want – we don’t wait for permission; we shape the market.

• We’re all in this together – direct, empathetic teamwork inside Patch and across the climate ecosystem.

• We amp it up – urgency and unreasonably high standards because the planet can’t wait.

If that mindset energizes you, read on.
