Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM) is a leading Asia‑Pacific carbon solutions provider, partnering with companies to build high‑quality, risk‑managed carbon credit and climate action portfolios. At TEM, we’re building more than carbon solutions — we’re building a team that’s shaping the future of climate action across the region. We work with some of Australia’s most recognisable and high‑impact organisations to turn climate ambition into real, credible outcomes, with integrity at the core of everything we do.

What makes TEM special is how we bring everything together. Our vertically integrated model gives our people hands‑on exposure to the full carbon value chain — from land and project development, to trading, technology and advisory. That means real responsibility, meaningful learning, and the opportunity to work on complex challenges that genuinely matter. We’re known for working with high‑profile, high‑risk clients, where trust, rigour and smart risk management are just as important as the carbon units themselves.

Since 2014, TEM has been at the forefront of innovation in carbon markets, climate finance and advisory services. With platforms like BlueHalo, TEM Online and TEMSafe, we’re a technology‑enabled business — scaling fast, thinking commercially, and creating space for our people to grow as we grow. Backed by strong market leadership and long‑term partnerships, TEM is a place for people who want to do purposeful work, build deep expertise, and have real impact.

Our Purpose We partner with businesses of all sizes to help them achieve their decarbonisation goals and make a real difference to climate change, people, and the planet via financing high‑quality carbon offsetting projects.
