Every day, we work together for what matters -- bold, swift, and equitable climate action.ABOUT THE ROLEThe Carbon Project Operations team supports, develops, and manages high-integrity projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and monetize environmental benefits through voluntary and compliance carbon markets. Unlike more established carbon-market operations, this role focuses on early-stage project structures within compliance markets and bilateral carbon frameworks, particularly Article 6.2 and CORSIA.As a Project Manager, you will bridge early-stage origination and diligence with rigorous post-signature project execution. You will provide technical project-development and delivery capability in support of APAC carbon origination, leading technical diligence, feasibility analysis, project documentation, and field-based Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) for priority opportunities and contracted projects. This role requires a unique balance of commercial acumen and strong technical and analytical grounding, with the ability to evaluate technology- and community-based project types, including waste management and landfills, renewable energy, and energy-efficiency or cookstove projects, while ensuring alignment with Singapore’s national carbon compliance demand. You will partner closely with the Lead Originator, APAC, and the Senior Director, Carbon Project Operations, to advance high-integrity projects from early-stage evaluation through implementation and ongoing MRV.This is a full-time, exempt role based in Singapore and focused on supporting 3Degrees' APAC business. This role reports to the Lead Originator, APAC, with a dotted-line relationship to the Senior Director, Carbon Project Operations. Frequent travel, sometimes on short notice, is required to project sites in Asia, Africa, and other destinations as business needs arise. Please note: 3Degrees does not provide sponsorship and/or relocation assistance, therefore, pre-existing right-to-work status is a prerequisite to be considered for this position.WHAT YOU'LL DOIn this role, you will assess and evaluate carbon project opportunities while managing the full lifecycle of diverse projects across multiple programs, with a particular focus on Article 6, CORSIA, and other relevant carbon frameworks.
