About Sylvera
What is Sylvera?
Sylvera sells data and ratings for carbon markets. Its homepage says "Trusted ratings and market intelligence for credits and lower-carbon commodities" and "From project-level ratings and eligibility assessment to market-wide pricing, Sylvera gives market participant the intelligence to transact, invest, and build with confidence." The about page says "Allister co-founded Sylvera in 2020 to bring transparency and accountability to carbon markets." and "We provide independent carbon data and intelligence". The careers page says "Customers include Fortune 500 buyers, sovereign governments" and carbon project developers, and gives "Series B backed by Balderton, Index, Insight Partners" and "130 Employees speaking 26+ languages". A company blog post dated 18 July 2023 says "Today, we’re announcing we’ve raised $57 million in Series B financing.", and the adverts say "Backed by over $96 million from investors including Fidelity, Balderton Capital, Index Ventures, and Insight Partners". The governance page says "Sylvera has applied to ESMA for authorisation under the EU ESG Ratings Regulation" and that it "is not currently authorised" by ESMA. The terms page lists service terms for Sylvera Ltd, Sylvera Ireland Operations Limited and Sylvera US, Inc., and Companies House shows Sylvera Ltd (company no. 12382318) as an active private limited company incorporated on 2 January 2020 with its registered office at International House, 64 Nile Street, London.
Where will I work?
The careers page says "We work hybrid across five cities. In-person time matters to us - you'll need to be based in or near one of our hubs." and names the five hubs: London, New York, São Paulo, Singapore and Tokyo. On 12 November 2026 Sylvera's Ashby board listed 7 adverts: 3 in London, 2 in Sao Paulo, 1 in Singapore and 1 in Ireland. Ashby tagged 5 of them Hybrid, 1 Remote (the Regulatory Compliance Officer, "Ireland (Remote)") and 1 OnSite (the London Carbon Analyst, "this role is on-site, with five days a week in our London office"). The London Account Executive advert says "London - Hybrid", and the London Product Manager advert says "We work flexibly whilst encouraging people to come in regularly to our great office in Old St". No advert states a number of office days for a hybrid role. The careers page lists "Work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks per year" among its benefits, and also says "We require candidates to have existing right to work in the location they're applying for. We typically do not sponsor visas."
What is the Sylvera team like?
The careers page describes six teams: Field Science & Geospatial, Assessments, Engineering & Data, Product, Commercial, and People & Operations. It lists five values (Own it, Stay curious, "Do what's right, even when it's hard", "Collaborate and challenge with empathy" and Empower customers) and says "We run quarterly awards against them". The seven open roles on 12 November 2026 sit in five departments: Ratings (a Carbon Analyst), Commercial (two Account Executives), Marketing (two Sales Development Representatives), Operations & Strategy (a Regulatory Compliance Officer in Ireland) and Product (a Product Manager). All seven adverts say "We prioritise grit, positivity, and the willingness to get stuck in", the Sao Paulo Account Executive advert asks the candidate to "Exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets", and the two Sales Development Representative adverts mention "monthly qualified opportunity metrics and daily KPIs". The careers page also says the graduate internship programme "runs twice a year", although no internship advert is open on the board today.
Work-Life Balance
Under the heading "High-impact work, full life outside it", the careers page says "Unlimited leave and active encouragement to actually use it. Four weeks working from anywhere. Flexible hours. Meaningful work doesn't have to mean all of your time." All 7 adverts say "Unlimited annual leave", and 6 of them add "- and encouragement to actually use it!". No page or advert gives a number of leave days; the careers page also lists a "Christmas shut down" without a length and "Up to 20 days paid sick leave", which 6 of the 7 adverts repeat. "Flexible hours." is a two-word line on the careers page: no advert repeats it, and no page or advert states core hours, start and finish times or weekly hours. "Work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks per year" is time-limited, and "4 weeks/year work from anywhere" appears in 4 of the 7 adverts.
