A new \u201cgreen\u201d industry is gaining momentum in Brazil and beginning to recruit professionals for strategic roles. The regulated carbon market\u2014which allows companies and countries to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by purchasing credits tied to environmental initiatives\u2014was established by a government bill at the end of 2024 and is expected to be fully operational by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Brazil), the sector could attract up to $120 billion in investment over the next five years, potentially generating 3.4 million jobs by 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professionals in this segment, which has been active in other countries for more than two decades, are recruited to lead projects aimed at reducing GHG emissions, such as the adoption of clean energy and reforestation efforts. They may also calculate an organization\u2019s carbon footprint, advise leadership on sustainable practices, and facilitate carbon credit negotiations between companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the last two years, we\u2019ve seen an 18% increase in the number of projects recruiting for this area,\u201d says Kleber Bonancio, senior associate manager at Talenses, an executive search firm that has specialized in carbon market hires for six years. \u201cThe number reflects growing interest in the topic in Brazil, especially after progress on regulated market discussions and projections of sector contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Bonancio notes that the positive outlook is heating up the job market and prompting more companies to form dedicated teams. \u201cHiring is happening mainly in the energy sector\u2014both renewables and oil and gas\u2014along with agribusiness, chemicals, and manufacturing,\u201d he explains. However, as the market is still emerging, companies will likely face difficulties filling roles due to a shortage of qualified candidates. \u201cThat\u2019s making the talent search extremely competitive and demanding CVs with strong technical skills,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the case of Maria Belen Losada, head of carbon products at Ita\u00fa Unibanco, who joined the bank in 2022. With more than two decades of experience in the treasury departments of global institutions such as BNP Paribas and Morgan Stanley, the S\u00e3o Paulo-based Argentine executive has spent the last three years immersed in the carbon market. She was recruited by Ita\u00fa\u2019s HR team to take on the role. \u201cMy responsibilities include advising on carbon project generation, credit commercialization, and market advocacy,\u201d says Ms. Losada, who holds a degree in economics and a specialization in sustainable finance from the University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among her notable achievements is the creation of a carbon credit trading and custody platform developed in partnership with eight international banks, including BNP, UBS, and BBVA. \u201cThe goal is to connect credit supply and demand across the banks\u2019 client bases,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading a team of four, Ms. Losada believes the sector in Brazil urgently needs more professionals. \u201cThe new accounting and reporting obligations for publicly traded companies, along with the growing need to plan for climate-related risks, will require specialized talent,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019ll need professionals skilled in greenhouse gas emissions measurement, climate transition consulting, environmental and international law, and data science.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Bichara Advogados, partner Patr\u00edcia Mendanha Dias\u2014who holds a master\u2019s degree in environmental engineering\u2014has worked with carbon-related cases for about a decade. \u201cMy legal practice has always focused on environmental matters, and I transitioned to the climate agenda because of its growing relevance and increasing client demand,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Dias provides legal counsel on environmental issues and assists companies in structuring credit transactions, reviewing contracts, and monitoring sector-specific legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a team of five employees dedicated exclusively to carbon projects, she\u2019s currently involved in initiatives in northern Brazil that bring together investors and riverside communities. \u201cTo do this work well, you need to be ready for constant change,\u201d she says. \u201cThe sector\u2019s regulations and project viability criteria are continually evolving. In this field, the ability to offer well-directed, proactive guidance is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soraya Dias Pires, head of decarbonization at the Brazilian environmental solutions multinational Ambipar, emphasizes the need for both technical expertise and a strategic mindset. \u201cIn addition to being able to connect sustainability, economic viability, and business development,\u201d says the agronomist, who was recruited by a headhunter in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her background in innovation and deep understanding of the low-carbon economy helped open the door to the sector, says the executive, who previously served as business development manager at BP Bunge Bioenergia, in the sugar and ethanol industry. \u201cI worked on structuring projects with both environmental and financial impact, linking environmental regeneration with a sustainable economy,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporting directly to CEO T\u00e9rcio Borlenghi Jr., Pires leads a 70-person team and oversees the certification and sale of carbon credits, the development of corporate decarbonization plans, and the application of geotechnologies for project monitoring. \u201cOur mission is to make decarbonization accessible to companies by securing funding sources that make implementation feasible,\u201d says Ms. Pires, who works on environmental conservation and restoration projects in states such as Amap\u00e1, Par\u00e1, and Rond\u00f4nia. \u201cWhat drives me is knowing that my work contributes to the global climate agenda and creates a legacy for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
