    The ideal applicant would be able to find client opportunities for KPMG, manage and develop relationships with partners, develop appropriate market strategies and assist in execution.

    Leading client discussions, proposals and project execution efforts
    Contributing publicly to the visibility and communication of KPMG's activities and outcomes in the field of Carbon Markets
    Authoring (or contributing to the production of) Carbon Markets related Thought Leaderships and reports
    Leading the identification and qualification process of opportunities related to Carbon Markets in Africa (e.g., VCM projects, Article 6 projects or policy-based opportunities)
    Actively supporting KPMG Africa's Member Firms, whenever relevant and possible, throughout client engagements related to Carbon Markets (e.g., proposal, client pitch and delivery of the work)

    Actively contributing to the ongoing effort of internal capacity building of KPMG Member Firms' colleagues in Africa on topics such as climate finance, carbon markets, Article 6 readiness, other types of carbon pricing instruments etc.

    Supporting the development and management of institutional frameworks and databases for carbon market implementation in Africa in-house and in collaboration with relevant stakeholders (e.g., ACMI)
    Working on the analysis and capacity building support required for the successful implementation of Article 6 cooperative approaches in Africa

    Requirements
    Attributes and Skills

    Understanding of ESG, especially the decarbonization drivers and carbon finance aspects.
    The ability and experience to generate demand for carbon market consulting services.
    The ability to create new, profitable lead channels while mining existing sales channels for opportunities.
    Ability to present and communicate clearly with client stakeholders (from senior executives to users).
    Must be able to work autonomously and in a team, while seeking leadership guidance appropriately.
    Ability to plan, coordinate and track multiple business development activities.


    Expected Experience:
    Masters of Sciences in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, or Environmental Law.
    10 years of work experience in the field of Climate Finance and Carbon Markets

    Clear understanding of Carbon Pricing Instruments operating, planned, or considered in Africa and interlinkages (present and future) with Carbon Markets.

    Must have Deep knowledge across the VCM landscape.
    Demonstrated experience in the development cycle of carbon projects
    Knowledge and expertise in Nature-Based Solutions (forest conservation, afforestation, and reforestation activities) would be considered a plus

    Must have familiarity with Partnerships for Carbon Accounting Financial (PCAF), and good understanding of standards in the Carbon Market (such as Verra and Gold standards).

    Data analytics or previous experience with registries would be a plus.

    Candidate ideal location:
    Nairobi. Although other locations in Africa can also be considered.

    Language requirement:
    fluent in English (both in speaking and writing).


    We offer:
    An exciting opportunity to work with a Big 4 firm on cutting edge development projects across Africa.
    Continuous learning and development.
    Exposure to multi-disciplinary client service teams.
    Unrivalled space to grow and be innovative.
