Carbon Market Analyst (CBAM)

Carbon Market Analyst (CBAM)

London, United Kingdom

Company Description

Redshaw Advisors is a leading carbon advisory firm, enabling organisations to buy carbon better.

We understand carbon markets inside out: the market fundamentals, the policies and regulations that underpin them, the psychology of those who participate in them – everything, in fact, that determines the price of carbon on a daily basis. 

Many of our clients are exposed to the financial risk of that price, and our role is to help them manage that risk. When they buy carbon, whether to meet compliance obligations or to participate in voluntary offsetting activity, we want them to be confident that they are making well-informed and strategic decisions that deliver value to their organisation.

We also work with governments, institutions and investors around the world who want to understand the current and prospective rules, business practices and trends within environmental markets, as well as the price drivers of instruments traded within these markets.

At Redshaw Advisors, everything we do is built on expert market intelligence, and so the Research team is central to our work to support our clients. Joining our team means working at the forefront of carbon markets as well as supporting clients to understand market dynamics, strengthen strategy and execute with confidence.
