About Wovoka
Wovoka is a climate and nature-focused project developer and advisory firm headquartered in the Philippines, with operations across Southeast Asia and Africa. We specialise in high-integrity carbon projects — ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, Revegetation), REDD+, mangrove restoration, and agroforestry — alongside advisory services for governments, multilateral development banks, and the private sector on carbon strategy, sustainability frameworks, and biodiversity finance.
The Role
You will support a range of activities — from desk research and report writing for advisory engagements to field-level scoping of potential ARR and REDD+ project sites across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak. This is a high-output, learning-intensive role suited to someone early in their career who writes well, is organised, and has a genuine interest in forestry, carbon markets, and sustainability.

- • Prepare meeting materials, agendas, minutes, and progress trackers for client and internal meetings
- • Coordinate logistics for stakeholder consultations and field visits
- • Maintain document version control and ensure deliverables meet quality and formatting standards
- • Support data collection and analysis on national sustainability priorities, SDG alignment, and environmental policy
Requirements
- • Bachelor's degree in Forestry, Environmental Science, Natural Resource Management, Sustainability, or a closely related field from a Malaysian university
- • 1–2 years of professional experience, including internships, graduate attachments, or entry-level positions
- • Strong written English — you will be drafting technical reports and guidance documents; clear, structured, professional writing is essential
- • Familiarity with Malaysia's forestry sector, environmental policy landscape, or sustainability frameworks
- • Proficiency in Microsoft Office / Google Workspace
- • Based in or willing to relocate to Kuala Lumpur / Putrajaya
Nice to Have
- • Exposure to carbon markets, REDD+, or climate finance concepts

- • Proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia
- • Familiarity with IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, GRI, TNFD, or UNDP SDG Impact Standards
