The climate change solutions we need are requiring us to link up together in new ways. That’s why we created a smart organic waste removal system that makes it easy to live more sustainably.Â
Poplar is a climate tech start-up focused on diverting organic waste from the landfill, the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in our country. The Poplar system tracks carbon offsets, collects waste, and connects consumers to a vetted network of processors who will properly recycle it.Â
At Poplar, we value momentum and simplicity as a key tool for change. This makes us thoughtfully fast paced, because we know what’s on the line if we lose momentum. Â
Equal parts thinker and doer, the Content Manager is obsessed with impactful consumer messaging and storytelling. You have a passion for writing and design, fighting climate change and the waste management system. You’re a creative content machine who wants to tell stories about the problems our planet is facing and how to solve them — while keeping it fun along the way. This is a special opportunity to take our brand foundation and launch our voice to the world for the first time.
