Solutions Manager, Scope 3 Programs

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

ABOUT THE ROLE

3Degrees is seeking a highly strategic and commercially minded Solutions Manager, Scope 3 Programs to join our Meridian team. Operating with a startup mentality inside an established, certified B Corp, you will serve as the principal link between Meridian's software platform capabilities, our digital solutions portfolio, and our enterprise clients' supply chain decarbonization targets. In this hybrid role, you will own the technical viability, delivery optimization, and commercial positioning of our Scope 3 product line, while driving the overall adoption, user satisfaction, and customer-facing effectiveness of our expanding digital tools. Rather than executing routine account maintenance, you will act as the team’s core "solutions architect." You will specialize in value engineering—structuring multi-year corporate partnerships—while establishing robust user feedback loops and technical support systems that directly shape our digital product roadmap and maximize client retention. This is a full-time role reporting to the Associate Director, Platforms and Partnerships. We value camaraderie, team collaboration, and the benefits of in-person connection, while offering flexibility. For this role, we prefer candidates to join us in a voluntary, flexible hybrid work style in one of our office locations, we will consider excellent candidates in a remote location. For exceptional remote candidates, we strongly prefer those located in states where we are currently eligible to hire: CA, OR, NY, WA, ME, TX, CO, MI, FL, MA, MN, VA, DC, GA, UT, and IL. While we prioritize candidates in, or open to relocating to, these states, we may consider outstanding remote candidates from other US states. Please note that hiring in a new state would involve evaluating the implications of establishing a new hiring presence there. Additionally, 3Degrees does not provide relocation assistance for this position. Please Note: 3Degrees does not provide sponsorship or work authorization assistance; therefore, pre-existing right-to-work status is a prerequisite to be considered for this position.
