Opportunity!
SteelWatch offers a unique opportunity for an expert in steel decarbonisation with a passion for driving climate action. If you can communicate your technical analysis to challenge legacy steelmakers with clarity and conviction, this role is for you.
In this new role as SteelWatch Industry Decarbonisation Lead, you will have the opportunity to deepen and articulate the arguments of SteelWatch, providing vigilant scrutiny and an international voice for steel decarbonisation.
The ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator and natural collaborator who combines technical understanding of steel decarbonisation internationally with an ability to spot trends and their significance in data and detail. The role could be an ideal next step for professionals coming from consultancy, decarbonisation initiatives, companies in the iron and steel value chain, trade associations, international agencies, and civil society.
Summary of the role
The Industry Decarbonisation Lead will shape SteelWatch’s position on steel decarbonisation to inform our change-making strategies, provide overall management and cohesion across our work on data analysis and industry insight, and act as a spokesperson in conversation with industry stakeholders.
The organisation
SteelWatch is an international climate campaign organisation, driving corporate accountability and action in the steel sector. Our vision is a steel sector that underpins a thriving zero emissions economy. We are a change-making organisation, with the task of driving change in an entrenched, powerful, technologically-confident sector that faces little climate pressure. SteelWatch is a non-profit registered in the Netherlands in 2023. Having grown to a team of 20, we are still a young organisation, learning-by-doing, working with fluid teams not rigid structures, ensuring we evolve, test, and learn. We seek team members who will enjoy breaking new ground with us.
We run corporate campaigns and challenge the global steel industry to replace complacency with urgent action in line with the 1.5C limit. SteelWatch has established a strong visible presence among civil society and steel industry stakeholders. We are increasingly recognised as an authoritative and challenging voice on steel decarbonisation, invited to engage in industry events and debates internationally.
Accurate and credible data, robust analysis and our global, long-term, climate-first lens on sector decarbonisation, are key strengths that underpin our campaigns and dialogue. We complement the work of other civil society change-makers bringing a vigilant voice and corporate scrutiny. We currently focus on OECD countries, and specifically across Europe and Japan, with team members in Europe/Africa and Asia-Pacific timezones.
Role and Responsibilities
The Industry Decarbonisation Lead is a new role, which will work in close collaboration with colleagues across the organisation and is fundamental to the long-term strategy of SteelWatch to transform the iron and steel industry. The core purpose of the role is to cultivate our collective ability to harness credible evidence for our campaigns, and to engage effectively with industry with an ambitious well-informed vision for decarbonisation.
For the initial year(s), there are three main areas of responsibility.
- The Lead will be responsible for navigating and shaping SteelWatch’s positions and point of view on relevant issues regarding steel decarbonisation with a goal of driving long term transition to near-zero emissions steelmaking.
- The Lead will be responsible for managing and shaping our range of work on data, evidence, insights and analysis -with the team members involved - to ensure the quality and relevance of our evidence base and our industry intelligence.
- The Lead will be one of the key spokespeople for the organisation, particularly in industry dialogue and events. The role will report to the Executive Director and is likely to line-manage 1-3 people.
Success for this role will depend on close collaboration with others in SteelWatch including the:
- Steel Analyst, and other team members and consultants working on data and analysis;
- Campaigns Teams, ensuring campaigns are well evidenced, informed and targeted on the critical issues.
- Communications Team, ensuring everything that we externally communicate is consistent and credible, as accuracy is key in our role to speak truth to power.
- Executive Director, sharing the work of representation of SteelWatch externally and updating our arguments as the steel industry evolves.
Responsibilities
1. Shape, evolve and articulate SteelWatch’s positions and point of view on steel decarbonisation:
SteelWatch already has a strong point of view (POV) on many of the core elements of the iron and steel transition. However, the POV needs to be continually reviewed in the light of new developments, on occasion adapted, and extended to new emerging issues. Sharpening the POV is a collaborative process - the Industry Decarbonisation Lead will be responsible for steering and landing this process. The Lead will:
- Ensure the POV is constantly evolved,improved and adapted through collaboration, guiding the process and landing the outcome;
- Ensure the POV is clearly articulated and socialised internally and externally with allies.
2. Manage and shape our range of work on data, industry trends, and analysis.
SteelWatch currently has in-depth data and news tracking on two companies, the targets of our corporate campaigns. We track iron and steel industry news and analyse industry announcements. We are developing our capacity to react to steel news globally, track blast furnaces investments and other announcements, and rate and rank companies. The Industry Decarbonisation Lead will, in collaboration with the Steel Analyst:
- Shape and prioritise our work on gathering data, tracking industry news, and analysing industry strategies, to support and inform the priorities of the organisation, and ensure we make best use of the information in our campaigns.
- Build capacity within SteelWatch to do this consistently across our growing portfolio of work.
- Ensure the quality and relevance of our evidence base, and the processes we have for updating and using it.
- Continue to build our capacity to assess industry announcements and to use that analysis effectively for pressure.
- Scope, support, and lead projects that are data analysis projects, and hold responsibility for the data analysis component of other projects/campaigns. These are likely to include, corporate scorecard, blast furnace trackers, and data visualisation.
3. Ensure relevance, consistency and accuracy in our external communications.
Our external communications are based on credible evidence and SteelWatch’s POV combined with core narrative (responsibility of the Comms team), and campaign arguments and tactics (responsibility of the Campaigns Team). Working closely with the Steel Analyst who currently is the ‘source of truth’ and fact-checker, the Industry Decarbonisation Lead will:
- Ensure all external outputs are factually correct, credible and in line with our point of view.
- Develop processes and materials that increase technical understanding and consistency across team members and amongst those we communicate most closely with (eg allies, core media).
- Ensure robust processes are in place for fact-checking.
- Lead the development of our series of SteelWatch Explainers to present key concepts in accessible form among allies and industry.
- Support the Communications and Campaign teams to assess what reactive news to prioritise, and to respond quickly and accurately.
- Strengthen our ability to brief and correct journalists, dealing with their misunderstandings around iron and steel.
4. Act as spokesperson for SteelWatch in industry dialogue.
SteelWatch is vigilant and challenging to the steel industry. Our tone of voice varies from the creative campaigns, to the engaged dialogue. The Industry Decarbonisation Lead is expected to communicate externally and directly in dialogue, in writing and especially with the industry stakeholders at conferences, in private meetings or via social media. The lead is not the only voice of the organisation, but should be a focal point in building consistency. They will:

- Speak at industry events, speak to the media where appropriate.
- Produce high quality written materials, support those written by colleagues, and support high quality data visualisation that communicates our messages.
- Engage actively on LinkedIn (and/or other social media) to respond to industry commentary and engage as SteelWatch.

- Keep abreast of industry conversations in order to identify the most relevant shifts, key topics or opportunities for SteelWatch to create pressure for change.
- Support others in SteelWatch to engage with industry, particularly in other regions and languages than your own.
6. Provide line management and task management to team members engaged in data and analysis.
SteelWatch currently has a mixture of long-term and short-term or part-time staff and consultants working on data, tracking and analysis. They are managed by different team members. The Industry Decarbonisation Lead will:
- Set objectives and define tasks for the data team, in line with overall SteelWatch strategy and plans, as they evolve. Provide line management for core data team members.

- Experience in climate and/or campaigning organisations (professional or voluntary)
Essential competencies and aptitude

Overview
High energy costs are a nightmare for millions of UK households, while huge profits are made at our expense. Poor housing and heating systems are a key part of the problem, along with dependence on polluting, climate-changing fossil fuels. FPA is a campaigning organisation that sets out to attack the root causes of fuel poverty along with the specific injustices facing people and communities. We want to see the UK’s energy system decarbonised as rapidly as possible, with a just transition for communities and workers.that includes affordability.
Working closely with pensioners groups, trades unions, disabled campaigners, tenants’ organisations and others on the frontline of fuel poverty, we’re using protest and direct action to fight for real, sustainable solutions to the cold homes crisis. We are looking for a committed senior organiser, who shares our passion and values, to bring energy and imagination to developing our base and supporting our members to build their power.
About the role
Fuel Poverty Action (FPA) was started in 2011 by climate activists who wanted to ensure that the green energy transition doesn’t happen at the expense of those with less social and economic power. Rather, they saw the break with fossil fuels as an opportunity to end the scourge of fuel poverty in the UK - a chance to rethink priorities and design inequality out of the energy system.
Immediately, they were drawn into community-based struggles for energy justice, against false, profit-driven solutions and maladministration of ‘green’ measures with no accountability to tenants and residents.
Over the years others joined the fight, growing FPA to a small membership-led organisation comprising people at the sharp end of fuel poverty - people of all ages and backgrounds, mainly located in London. Since 2022, funding has enabled us to employ a small, dispersed team who are accountable to directors and a membership that is now UK-wide.
We are now looking for an experienced, senior organiser to help FPA grow and evolve our membership network further. We want to reach more people and support members to be active within FPA so that we can build our political impact and remain meaningfully member-led.
We are seeking a flexible person with significant leadership experience who will be confident working as part of a small team, capable of outward facing work and internal management. You will have experience of organising in collective campaigns, including digitally, and a background in grassroots or community-based action, with a strong commitment to inclusive and anti-oppressive practice.
As the Organising Lead, you will join our Campaigns Lead and Operations Lead as the third pillar of our self-managing Coordination Team. While line-managing other colleagues and enabling the contributions of members who are unpaid, you will yourself be a member of FPA, and answerable to the group.
We use the digital platform Action Network to run campaigns and communicate with FPA supporters. Our ideal candidate would have the skills to incorporate ladders, tags and custom fields into our digital campaigns to maximise online to offline impact and convert list growth into membership. They would also actively maintain relationships with existing members who are not always confident with online communication tools.
