Jobbeschreibung

Hello! Are you a Project Management professional who wants to use your expertise to drive global climate action? Do you thrive in the complex world of international climate policy and carbon markets? Then Perspectives Climate Group is exactly the right place for you!

We are a leading international consultancy and research company operating at the forefront of climate policy. Our mission is clear, our team is stable and highly committed, and we are looking for a strategic Project Manager to lead our high-impact mandates.

Role: Project Manager – Consulting

• Location: Remote (within Germany only) or in our office in Freiburg im Breisgau.
• Team: You will report directly to the Head of Business Field, working closely with international experts and researchers.
• Level: Independent to Leading/Providing Guidance.

Your Mission: Take Ownership of Impactful Projects!

As a Project Manager, you are the heartbeat of our advisory and research mandates. You ensure that our projects in international climate policy, carbon markets (Article 6), and climate finance are delivered with excellence.

• End-to-End Project Ownership: You take full responsibility for defining scope, timelines, budgets, and resourcing. You proactively manage risks and ensure top-tier quality assurance from kick-off to final delivery.
• Client & Stakeholder Interface: You act as the primary operational point of contact for our clients (public sector, private sector, NGOs), managing expectations and ensuring clear, reliable communication.
• Coordination of Expert Workstreams: You align technical workstreams, integrating inputs from consultants and researchers into coherent, high-quality outputs with a unified storyline.
• Financial Tracking & Governance: You monitor burn rates vs. budgets, forecast resource needs, and flag deviations early to ensure project profitability.
• Process Improvement: You don’t just follow SOPs—you improve them. You master project tools (e.g., Asana, SharePoint) and help us increase delivery excellence.

Do You Fit the Profile?

We are looking for a proactive "driver" who enjoys high levels of autonomy and has a deep understanding of climate policy mechanisms.

• Strategic & Independent: You perform tasks independently and grow into a leading role, providing guidance to others and ensuring methodological consistency.
• Communication Mastery: You can prepare structured status reports, risk updates, and decision memos for both clients and internal leadership.
• Organization & Logic: You excel at managing dependencies, removing bottlenecks, and keeping complex international projects on track.
• Climate Expertise: Experience in carbon markets (Article 6/compliance & voluntary markets) or climate finance is essential to lead our specialized mandates.
• Language Skills: Clear and professional communication in English is a must; additional languages (like French or Spanish) are a strong plus for our international work (e.g., projects in Senegal or Latin America).

Why Perspectives? More Than Just a Job!

At Perspectives, you are a valued team member, not just a "resource."

• Purpose & Impact: Directly contribute to the success of the Paris Agreement and market-based climate solutions.
• Flexible & Remote: 100% remote options and flexible working hours that fit your life.
• Great Team: Join a stable, international team of dedicated experts with a shared vision.
• Professional Growth: Benefit from 6 additional paid days per year specifically for your personal and professional development.
