How to Apply for Manager, Registry Business Development

at Xpansiv

🏢 About Xpansiv

Xpansiv is the premier market infrastructure for environmental commodities, operating the world's largest spot exchange for carbon offsets and renewable energy certificates. Their platform enables transparent, credible environmental claims, making them a key player in the global transition to a sustainable economy. Working here means being at the forefront of market-based climate solutions.

About This Role

As Manager of Registry Business Development, you will drive the expansion of Xpansiv's registry services across carbon, RECs, clean fuels, and emerging environmental commodities. You'll identify new market opportunities, forge partnerships with public agencies and developers, and execute growth strategies that directly impact the integrity of global environmental markets.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve researching a new clean fuel policy in Europe, then hopping on a call with a potential partner like a renewable natural gas developer. You'd update your CRM with leads from a recent industry conference, brainstorm registry features with product teams, and prepare a pitch for a government agency interested in tracking plastic credits.
