Technical Project Manager & Customer Success

About Meridia
Meridia is an AgTech company specialized in field data within complex smallholder-heavy agri-commodity supply chains such as cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, and soy.

Meridia Verify®, our flagship SaaS product, verifies supply chain field data in real time and validates compliance with frameworks such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and ICE Commodity Trading (ICE CoT). With Verify, companies reduce commercial and reputational risk, minimize supply chain disruption, and accelerate evidence-based decision-making for strategic sourcing, procurement, and trade.

Meridia’s mission is to improve the veracity of datasets driving decision making in global agri-commodity supply chains and to build transparent and inclusive supply chains that afford smallholders a level playing field.

The Role

Meridia is seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager – Customer Success (Freelance Contractor) to support operator readiness efforts in Brazil. This role is core to helping local exporters navigate their EUDR and ICE CoT journeys translating global requirements into practical, on-the-ground actions.

As part of the onboarding, you will be trained by Meridia’s Customer Success team to deeply understand our platform, compliance frameworks, and workflows. You will then work hands-on with Brazilian operators to bring Meridia Verify “to life”: reviewing datasets, helping interpret compliance risk at farm-plot level, guiding mitigation protocols, and supporting exporters as they take concrete steps toward full EUDR dataset readiness.

This is a part-time role that blends technical project management, customer success, supplier engagement, and field-level coordination. It is a unique opportunity to support sustainable, compliant supply chains while playing a key role in expanding Verify’s footprint in Brazil.
