Summary
Climate Group is seeking a Senior Policy Officer to join the RE100 policy team at a pivotal moment for the global energy transition. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape policy and market frameworks that enable businesses to source 100% renewable electricity and accelerate progress towards zero-carbon power systems.
Working at the intersection of business, policy and climate action, you'll collaborate with leading companies, policymakers and partner organisations across Asia, Latin America and Africa to drive real-world change. As RE100 embarks on a new five-year strategy, you'll play an important role in developing and delivering innovative programmes that support the transition to clean electricity worldwide.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join RE100 as we begin delivering our next five-year strategy. You'll support policy programmes that contribute to the transition to zero-carbon grids by 2040, working with businesses, policymakers and partners across Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Working across policy, research and programme delivery, you'll help address barriers to corporate renewable electricity procurement, contribute to advocacy and stakeholder engagement activities, and support Climate Group's wider energy transition work.
Key responsibilities will include:
Policy
- Support the coordination of policy working groups and engagement plans, helping to shape policy positions and advocacy activities across priority markets
- Develop resources and briefings for policymakers and energy stakeholders that advance RE100's Global Policy Priorities and support policy implementation
- Support the delivery of major international climate and energy events
Energy expertise and research
- Monitor and analyse energy market and policy developments, helping to identify key opportunities and risks for RE100 and Climate Group's wider energy transition work
- Analyse research, market intelligence and policy developments to provide technical and strategic insights for RE100's advocacy and programme delivery
- Support market and policy analysis to identify barriers, opportunities and priority stakeholders in target markets
- Contribute renewable energy expertise across Climate Group's energy portfolio, supporting cross-team collaboration and knowledge sharing
Project management and partnerships
- Coordinate and support the delivery of policy and programme activities in partnership with RE100 member companies, local campaign partners and external organisations
- Manage relationships with local campaign partners and key stakeholders
- Collaborate with colleagues across Climate Group's global teams to ensure activities are delivered effectively and achieve intended outcomes
- Monitor progress, evaluate impact and contribute to reporting against programme objectives and performance indicators
As a mission-driven organisation, we may ask colleagues to take on temporary assignments or secondments in a different team to support organisational priorities. We see these as opportunities for development and internal mobility, managed transparently and with appropriate support.
You’ll work in a highly collaborative, international environment, where a diversity of perspectives and experiences is valued and encouraged.
