Project Manager, Carbon Project Operations

Carbon Project Manager

Every day, we work together for what matters – bold, swift, and equitable climate action.

The Carbon Project Operations team supports, develops, and manages projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and monetizes environmental benefits across voluntary and compliance markets. As a Project Manager on this team, you will step in immediately to independently manage a growing portfolio of commercially viable projects in North America.

This mid-level role is designed for an experienced professional capable of handling project volume autonomously to alleviate staff capacity constraints. You will manage new and existing carbon offset projects, support supply chain reductions (SCRs) and handle bespoke verification and reporting standards.

This full-time hybrid role reports to a Carbon Project Operations Team Director located in our San Francisco headquarters. While we have a preference for candidates based near our San Francisco, CA office, we remain open to highly experienced candidates based near our New York, NY office location. 3Degrees does not provide sponsorship or work authorization assistance.

In this role, you will independently manage a portfolio of new and existing carbon projects, ensuring seamless execution from data collection through final verification. You will utilize advanced efficiency tools, handle large datasets, and ensure rigorous compliance with evolving greenhouse gas frameworks.

• Project Management: Independently manage a pipeline of at least six projects, ensuring milestones and reporting deadlines are met.
• Data & Framework Alignment: Apply expert greenhouse gas accounting methodologies and ensure strict adherence to ISO 14064-2 standards across a dozen or more active projects.
• Verification Oversight: Prepare comprehensive documentation packages for registries and verifiers, coordinate verification cycles, and independently resolve corrective action requests.
• AI Integration: Leverage enterprise AI tools (such as Google Gemini) to enhance research efficiency, data synchronization, and operational workflows.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Act as a dependable liaison for project owners, partners, and third-party verification bodies.
• Future Leadership: Prepare to potentially take on direct people management responsibilities within your first year as the team expands.
