Vice President, Climate Solutions

I'm partnering with a high-growth, well-capitalized climate platform operating at the intersection of science, carbon markets, and capital deployment. This is a standout opportunity for a few reasons:

  • Visible, high-impact leadership role helping shape next-generation climate solutions
  • Work alongside a highly regarded leadership team spanning science, markets, and investment
  • Strong focus on high-integrity, science-driven carbon solutions (quality over volume)
  • Exposure to emerging technologies and global decarbonization projects across multiple sectors
  • Significant momentum in a space seeing rapid growth, capital inflows, and market demand

The Opportunity:

This role sits at the center of the business, leading strategy and execution across non‑CO₂ emissions pathways (e.g., methane, HFCs, N₂O). The VP will own the full lifecycle-from market engagement and technical diligence through to investment support and portfolio oversight-while acting as a key bridge between scientific, commercial, and external stakeholders.


You'll play a critical role in evaluating project quality, developing assessment frameworks, supporting investment decisions, and shaping how the organization navigates evolving carbon market standards. There's also a strong external-facing element, contributing to thought leadership and translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights.

What They're Looking For:

  • Deep expertise in GHG mitigation, ideally with exposure to non‑CO₂ pathways
  • Experience within carbon markets, environmental commodities, or project-based climate solutions
  • Hands-on background in project due diligence, technical evaluation, or methodology review
  • Ability to operate across multiple workstreams in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Strong communication skills with a track record of translating technical content for broader audiences

Location: Hybrid flexibility US wide (preferred locations are California and New York)
