About Climate Catalyst
Climate Catalyst is a U.S. based non-profit dedicated to galvanising the collective power of business, investors, and civil society to influence and accelerate policy change in Asia and Europe. We work to strengthen collaboration and mobilise new actors on pivotal climate challenges to build power and compel political leaders to act at the speed and scale needed to tackle the climate crisis.

Working behind the scenes with stakeholders in Europe and Asia to identify critical climate issues where action to date has been limited and collaboration potential is high.

-
Advising on strategy, bringing creative communications, advocacy and movement building expertise to build power across the climate community to catalyse action.
To date, we’ve used this model successfully to build a strong and empowered communications network to challenge dominant narratives holding back progress in tackling the climate impact of aviation, to mobilise the business community in support of the EU Nature Restoration Law, the first legislation for peatlands restoration across Europe, and to spark action in India that led to commitment from the Ministry of Steel to develop green steel policy.

This role will focus mainly on the issue of Chemicals Decarbonisation - where experience is preferable but not required - and take the lead on delivering EU-targeted activities and outputs.

Build knowledge in the field of decarbonising chemicals, with a specific focus on policy mechanisms such as the EU Emissions Trading System and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
-
Lead strategies with partners for successfully targeting and engaging businesses to achieve goals and objectives to influence government policy
-
In collaboration with partners, strategically engage C-suite executives and senior business leaders in support of campaign objectives, drawing on your network and the networks of other colleagues and partners as relevant
-
Keep track of climate policy, technology, and economic trends pertaining to the private sector internationally, and specifically in Europe.
-
Engage subject-matter experts, consultants, and researchers as necessary to support our strategies.
-
Produce business-orientated outreach and policy advocacy materials – including memos, brief reports, letters of commitments, talking points, and speeches for business leaders.
-
Produce scopes and terms of reference for targeted research on essential chemicals which will shed light on trade offs and influence our target audience.
-
Represent Climate Catalyst at relevant events and forums organised by partners and businesses associations.
What You Would Bring
-
At least five years of demonstrated experience in engaging businesses towards policy advocacy relating to climate change issues.
-
Experience engaging with EU policy-making processes
-
Experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams to deliver on organisation-wide strategies.
-
Knowledge and understanding of the key issues pertaining to decarbonisation of the chemicals sector or other industrial decarbonisation policies and areas pertinent to Europe.
-
Strong initiative and an ability to work both autonomously as well as within a team.
-
Strong interpersonal and communication skills including the ability to distil complex issues for a lay audience.
-
Ability to establish and maintain strong working relationships with the network of civil society organisations and progressive businesses.
-
Awareness of the potentially diverse opinions and voices of Climate Catalyst’s partners and ensure they are taken into account in our policy positions and recommendations.
