The ICVCM is looking for a Senior Policy Manager, based in Asia. This role will focus on developing relationships with key stakeholders of the voluntary carbon market (VCM) in Asia, particularly governments and regulators. Asia is a growing and important market for carbon markets, and this role will be central in promoting alignment in regulatory frameworks and helping bring consistency to the market.

In this role, you would be supporting the regional work of integrity initiatives. This includes leading work on developing and implementing strategy for the promotion of integrity frameworks in Asia, and serving as the key interlocutor for regional stakeholders, including regulators, regional organisations, policy professionals and market actors. You will help support, maintain and broaden the network among policymakers and market actors in Asia. As Senior Policy Manager, you will serve as the key expert on and entry point to the region for international integrity initiatives. This is an outward-facing position, and the individual is expected to liaise with policymakers, working groups and committees in Asia time zones and regions.

We are looking for an individual with extensive (likely to be 7+ years) international or regional (Asia) experience in government or corporate affairs, with exceptional communication skills. You will bring existing knowledge of carbon markets (voluntary and/or compliance) and international and/or national climate policy, with proven knowledge of the climate policy space in Asian economies or regional carbon markets. As this is a high profile external role, you will need to demonstrate experience in public speaking, and in successful delivery within a ministerial, departmental or regulatory context.

We would also value international, multi-agency project team experience, and a good understanding of financial markets and/or environmental economics, with broad knowledge of the political, economic, social and cultural contexts in Asia.
