Overview
Job Description
Every day, we work together for what matters - bold, swift, and equitable climate action.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a certified B Corporation, our business is our mission. At 3Degrees, we help organizations large and small take action toward a decarbonized, prosperous future by connecting people with renewable energy and carbon offset solutions on a global scale. To support this mission, our Environmental Markets (EM) team drives wholesale value across North America by managing complex market transactions from initial sourcing to final execution.
We are seeking an Originator to join a committed and progressive team where you will bridge the gap between commercial growth and operational excellence. Working closely with our Trade Operations, Contracts, and Portfolio Management teams, you will develop and manage counterparty relationships, navigate contract lifecycles, and build a deep understanding of compliance obligations.
This role reports to the Compliance Carbon & Fuels Senior Portfolio Manager and is open to candidates based within a commutable distance of our office in New York, New York. This process is intentionally structured to accommodate a range of experience levels-from an execution-focused associate looking to advance into a broader commercial path (level 1 Originator) up to an independent, senior producer (level 3 Originator).
Please Note: 3Degrees does not provide sponsorship or work authorization assistance; therefore, pre-existing right-to-work status is a prerequisite to be considered for this position.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Depending on the level at which you are hired (Originator I, II, or III), your day-to-day responsibilities will scale from supporting routine commercial tasks under general supervision to independently owning a book of business and direct production targets:
- Portfolio & Trade Execution: Propose, structure, and execute carbon allowance and clean fuel credit transactions in compliance markets. Experienced hires will manage complex structures (hedges, derivatives, and arbitrage opportunities), while entry-level hires will focus on straightforward spot transactions under closer supervision
- Risk & Policy Adherence: Define and achieve commercial milestones while working within internal risk guidelines and designated execution authorities
- Market Analysis & Positioning: Conduct market sizing, policy research, and regulatory analysis to identify new compliance landscapes and tracking opportunities
- Relationship Sourcing: Actively research, target, and initiate contact with new market participants to expand 3Degrees' counterparty footprint in compliance territories
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate regularly with Trading, Analysis, Contracts, Trade Operations, and Regulatory teams to achieve portfolio objectives and track evolving environmental policies
