The Rainforest Alliance is creating a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities.
To achieve our mission, we partner with diverse allies around the world to drive positive change across global supply chains and in many of our most critically important natural landscapes.
Our alliance spans 70 countries and includes farmers and forest communities, companies, governments, civil society, and millions of individuals.
Together we work to protect forests and biodiversity, take action on climate, and promote the rights and improve the livelihoods of rural people.
As an international nonprofit organization with more than 30 years of experience in sustainability transformation, we understand that the social and economic well-being of rural communities is tightly connected to ecosystem health.
This knowledge has shaped our rigorous programs to advance sustainable land-use and commodity production.
At the Rainforest Alliance we combat climate change, protect forests and biodiversity, promote human rights, and improve livelihoods.
The enormity of the social and environmental challenges we are facing requires working together in a broad alliance.
This is why we bring farmers, forest communities, companies, and consumers together to change the way the world produces, sources, and consumes.
Position summary: The Rainforest Alliance has a rich and measurable history of investment in internal innovation, staff, processes, and operations.
Beginning in 2019, the Rainforest Alliance started building an in-house innovation team with the objective to launch ground-breaking innovations.
Today that team has grown to 7 members of staff with skills in innovation strategy, design-thinking, service design, financial modelling, market research, facilitation, capacity-building, and training.
The team services innovation needs across the organization; from learning and education of innovation skills, to support for concept development, from incremental to transformational concepts.
The Technical and Monitoring Manager takes accountability for the Business Case for Collective Landscape Initiative (BC) monitoring, evaluation and learning processes during the implementation.
The BC convenes the private sector, governments, and local producers and organizations in some of the world's most important tropical ecosystems and sourcing regions to address global environmental challenges associated with commodity-driven deforestation, including greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss.
Under the leadership of the Deputy Chief of Party, The Technical and Monitoring Manager provides strategic guidance, vision, and management for successful monitoring and evaluation of the BC.
The Technical and Monitoring Manager also supervises one staff and ensures the strategic and functional integration of all Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) activities.

The Manager will be responsible for keeping update and improve the monitoring and evaluation system, overseeing the collection and analysis of data and reporting on BC indicators, as well as coordinating with all project staff to facilitate implementation, management, and continuous learning.
The Manager will also provide the information required for the weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports required by the donor and the development of "success stories," as appropriate.
