What is Sylvera anyway? 👩👨🌳
Sylvera provides carbon data for genuine climate impact. Our mission is to incentivize investment in real climate action.
Purchasing credits through the carbon markets is one of the most established and scalable ways to channel finance from the private sector to effective climate solutions and work toward societal net zero. Unfortunately, the voluntary carbon markets have been plagued with mistrust and a lack of effectiveness since they’ve emerged – until Sylvera.
To help organizations ensure they're making the most effective investments, Sylvera builds software that independently and accurately automates the evaluation of carbon projects that capture, remove, or avoid emissions. With Sylvera's data and tools, businesses and governments can confidently invest in, benchmark, deliver, and report real climate impact.
Our team is made up of leading minds in climate change from scientists to policy, finance and carbon market experts. We work in partnership with scientific organisations, universities, governments and think tanks to develop and test rigorous and holistic ratings methodologies, leveraging the latest technology. Founded in 2020, Sylvera has 150+ employees across the world with offices in London, New York, Belgrade and Singapore. We’ve raised over $96million from leading VCs like Balderton Capital, Index Ventures and Insight Partners to date.
What will I be doing? 👩💻👨💻
Having found an early product-market fit in a nascent, rapidly growing space, we’re now expanding our expertise and insights at pace. We’re looking for a mission-driven leader with an academic background in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies to manage and coordinate the development of our CDR project assessment methodologies. It’s a critical role at the heart of our business - you’ll coordinate with leaders across Sylvera and within the industry regularly. Your leadership will be critical in positioning Sylvera as a leader in the VCM and in driving innovations in Sylvera’s analytical breadth. You will report to the VP of Assessment Products.

- Develop and execute the company’s strategy for the assessment of CDR technologies, aligning with our mission and market opportunities; identifying emerging trends and novel approaches.
- Conduct and support in-depth research on engineered CDR projects and technologies, integrating our Screenings, Ratings and Pre-issuance Assessments frameworks.
- Collaborating with our Marketing Team to produce insightful sector research, demonstrating Sylvera’s expertise, analysis, and thought leadership related to CDR technologies.
- Build and support strategic partnerships with technology providers, data providers, research institutions,project developers and industry stakeholders.
- Represent Sylvera at industry conferences, workshops, and events, advocating for the adoption of transparency with CDR projects and expanding our industry presence.
- Execute strategy across multidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists, and analysts dedicated to advancing Sylvera’s assessment capabilities in the CDR space.
- Work with the relevant members of Sylvera’s Tech Advisory Board, where relevant.

- Advanced degree in environmental science, engineering, chemistry, or a related field with a minimum of 5 years of experience related to carbon removal, environmental technology, or related fields, with a track record of leading successful projects or products from concept to deployment. A PhD is preferred but not required.
- Deep understanding of carbon removal technologies, including current trends, challenges, and opportunities within the VCM.
- Strong communication and advocacy skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to a diverse audience, including non-technical stakeholders.
- Results-oriented project and team management capabilities; able to lead and execute effectively with capacity to translate big ideas into action
- Passion for climate action and alignment with Sylvera’s mission to drive impactful investments in the fight against climate change.
