What is Sylvera anyway? ‍👩‍👨🌳

Sylvera helps organisations make confident decisions in carbon and commodity markets. We independently assess the quality of carbon projects, track market pricing and supply signals, and provide geospatial and carbon intensity data — giving our clients the clarity they need to invest in real climate action.

We're a team of 130+ scientists, engineers, and market experts based across London, New York, São Paulo, Singapore, and Tokyo. Our work spans market intelligence, geospatial analytics, multi-scale lidar research, and policy analysis. We partner with governments and policymakers to raise the bar for transparency and rigour across carbon markets.

Backed by over $96 million from investors including Fidelity, Balderton Capital, Index Ventures, and Insight Partners, we're trusted by Fortune 500 companies, major financial institutions, and governments worldwide.

If you care about climate, enjoy solving hard problems, and want to work with people who take the mission seriously — we'd love to hear from you.

What will I be doing? ‍‍👩‍💻👨‍💻

  • Has 3+ years of closing experience selling complex solutions as a top performer, consistently meeting and exceeding quota

  • Has sold into multiple European markets and brings an existing network

  • Sells with a structured but creative approach: you generate your own pipeline, qualify from scratch, build champions, and navigate complex org structures

  • Is comfortable with ambiguity and confident exercising sound judgement

  • Is hungry to learn, be coached, and become a world-class seller

  • Can travel regularly for client visits and events

  • Is genuinely curious about solving customer problems

  • Cares deeply about the climate and the earth's ecosystems
