Shipping is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, and urgent action is required to drive its transition to a cleaner future. Transport & Environment (T&E), Europe’s leading clean transport think tank and advocacy group, is seeking a Sustainable Shipping Manager to spearhead efforts in decarbonising the UK’s maritime sector.
In this pivotal role, you will lead advocacy efforts to advance UK shipping regulations, championing truly sustainable solutions such as green hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels while challenging ineffective alternatives. Your work will involve designing and executing targeted advocacy strategies, engaging with UK policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, and the media to shape policy and drive legislative change. You will also conduct high-impact research, analyse technical and economic data on vessel decarbonisation, and collaborate with environmental organisations to maximise impact.
You will be a key voice in the shipping decarbonisation space, representing T&E at public forums, responding to media requests, and forming coalitions with industry players to push for ambitious policy measures that align with the UK’s climate goals.
The ideal candidate will have at least six years of experience in UK climate, energy, or transport policy advocacy, with a strong track record of influencing regulatory stakeholders and driving policy change. A deep understanding of the UK political system, excellent political analysis skills, and the ability to navigate a fast-changing policy environment are essential. Strong project management, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills are also crucial to success. Experience in maritime policy, parliamentary work, or international collaboration would be advantageous.
This is a London-based hybrid role requiring at least two days per week in the office, with occasional travel to Brussels. If you are passionate about environmental sustainability and want to make a real impact on shipping decarbonisation, we encourage you to apply.
