Analyst – Carbon Markets & Nature-based Solutions (Singapore)
Join us in shaping and scaling a climate-positive future as an Analyst! HAMERKOP envisions a world where climate finance drives measurable impact for people and the planet. Our mission is to empower changemakers through high-quality, science-based, and tailored technical advice that catalyses climate action, builds resilience in vulnerable communities and ecosystems, and unlocks the potential of climate finance. Internally, we foster an inclusive, collaborative, and empowering workplace that champions learning, values employee well-being, and cultivates excellence.
HAMERKOP is seeking an Analyst to join our growing team in Singapore. As an Analyst, you will work with and support HAMERKOP's consultants with research and analyses in relation to pre-feasibility, feasibility, impact certification and monitoring of climate change mitigation projects eligible to carbon financing mechanisms, as well as more policy-oriented and institutional research. Most projects are taking place in the context of natural ecosystems (e.g., forest conservation, reforestation, mangroves), occasionally in other sectors (e.g. energy, agriculture), and support international development in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America.
The majority of HAMERKOP's clients and partners are private project developers and financial sponsors, international NGOs, start-ups, carbon trading desks, and international development agencies.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead research and analysis on developments in voluntary and compliance carbon markets, including regulatory and governance changes (e.g., IC-VCM, Article 6, COP), the evolution of carbon certification standards and labels (e.g., ABACUS, CORSIA, Corresponding Adjustments, SDGs), market dynamics and intermediaries, and emerging tools such as digital MRV. Synthesise findings into clear insights that inform project design and client recommendations.
Draft high-quality project and policy documents under the guidance of Consultants and Project Managers, including sections of Project Design Documents (PDDs), feasibility and impact certification reports, and carbon market policy or strategy pieces. Prepare supporting materials, including slide decks and briefing notes, taking ownership of research-heavy sections and iterating on them based on feedback.
Support technical consulting work and internal knowledge building, including emission reduction calculations, monitoring and data analysis, assessments of carbon finance eligibility and risks, and analysis of developing legislation in target geographies. Contribute to internal research assets, tools and educational materials that strengthen HAMERKOP's project, market and policy advisory work.
What we are looking for
Required:
BSc or Master's degree in a technical or quantitative field related to climate change and environmental sciences (e.g., conservation, forestry, agriculture, marine ecology, energy, geospatial analysis);
As this is an entry-level position, some working experience, for example, through an internship or similar, is an advantage
Attention to detail, strong analytical and problem-solving skills and ability to produce well-presented, error-free results and reports
Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to work autonomously
Superb verbal and written communication skills are essential
Culturally adaptable and experienced in international work environments.
Spoken and written fluency in English
Curious and keen to learn
Singapore citizen or permanent resident
Desired:
Knowledge of climate change, forestry and agriculture issues in the context of developing countries gained through a previous exposure or experience in a related subject
Proficiency in French is a plus, as are other language skills
Prior exposure to greenhouse gas emission accounting, notably in the natural environment, as part of a research project or a prior internship
Previous exposure or experience supporting or working with a consulting firm
Knowledge of finance would be beneficial but not absolutely necessary
Advanced knowledge of Word, PowerPoint and Excel
Remote working is in place at HAMERKOP, but Analysts will be expected to spend four days a week at the office with the team.
To Apply:
Please send a single PDF document containing your CV (max 1 page) and a 1-page value proposition letter (not a cover letter) explaining what you could bring to the team and the organisation. Applications without a value proposition letter WON'T be considered.
We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis and giving priority to those who have applied the earliest.

About Hamerkop Climate Impacts
HAMERKOP IS AN ENABLER - AN INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL CONSULTANCY OPERATING WORLDWIDE.
Headquartered in London & with offices in Singapore, HAMERKOP supports carbon project developers in the Global South and the carbon market ecosystem, to enable emission reductions associated with strong environmental and social integrity. We support energy access and nature-based solutions projects (e.g., forestry and agriculture).
HAMERKOP is one of the very few recognised and independent technical service providers on the carbon market and we mainly work in developing countries, where we provide technical consulting services around 3 main pillars:
1. PROJECT: certification and implementation of projects contributing to the fight against climate change. We help mitigation projects to certify so they can partially or fully be financed by the sale of assets on the carbon markets. We support projects from early conception to early-stage feasibility studies, drafting of carbon certification studies and documents, and support the implementation of activities as well as monitor their ongoing impacts.
2. MARKET: independent expert advice on the carbon markets. We provide (i) technical pre-investment risk-based due diligence to carbon credit and project sponsors; (ii) strategic advice to organisations looking for positioning on the carbon market; and (iii) educational support on the structure, state, and trends of the carbon markets.
3. POLICY: climate change policy and finance. We help countries in the Global South to formulate and revise their climate change strategies and roadmaps. We work with international organisations and government authorities to align their policy, technical and institutional frameworks with the requirements of the Paris Agreement’s carbon and climate finance mechanisms.
HAMERKOP works at the intersection of the public and private sectors, with governments, international organisations, NGOs and private companies and is increasingly playing a crucial role in the Singaporean and Southeast Asian carbon market ecosystem.
We help our clients design, implement, manage and monitor projects and activities in the energy (e.g., clean cooking, transportation, energy efficiency, etc.) and land use sectors (e.g., forestry, agriculture, biochar, etc.), that deliver measurable social and environmental impacts and are eligible to climate finance mechanisms.
