Your Role In Our Story

At ACT, we believe carbon markets are one of the most powerful tools for accelerating the global energy transition. As governments introduce new regulations, compliance programs, and market frameworks, businesses need trusted partners to help them navigate complexity and unlock opportunity. As a Carbon Markets Specialist, you will sit at the intersection of policy, markets, and innovation. You'll help ACT stay ahead of regulatory developments across North American and global carbon markets, translating complex policy changes into actionable insights that drive commercial strategy, product development, and market expansion.

Represent ACT at industry conferences, workshops, and stakeholder engagements, building relationships with market participants and regulatory bodies.
Help shape ACT's strategic response to emerging trends in carbon and environmental markets.

Your expertise will directly influence how ACT supports clients through regulatory change, develops innovative market solutions, and expands into new opportunities. Working across teams and engaging with key stakeholders, you'll play a critical role in strengthening ACT's position as a trusted leader in environmental commodities.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact, helping businesses decarbonize, supporting the growth of carbon markets, and contributing to the solutions that will define the future of the energy transition.
