This Role:

BioLite is looking for a Carbon Sales Manager to market and sell carbon credits across both voluntary and compliance-adjacent markets.

BioLite issues approximately 1M carbon credits annually and focuses increasingly on accessing next-generation demand, including Article 6.2, CORSIA-eligible credits, and CCP-aligned voluntary markets. You will originate and close transactions across these channels, working with our teams and external counterparties to navigate evolving market rules, eligibility requirements, and buyer needs.
