Description |
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Associate Director to lead our Climate Change and Environment work. techUK OverviewtechUK is the trade association which brings together people, companies and organisations to realise the positive outcomes of what digital technology can achieve. With over 800 members (the majority of which are SMEs) across the UK, techUK creates a network for innovation and collaboration across business, government and stakeholders to provide a better future for people, society, the economy and the planet. By providing expertise and insight, we support our members, partners and stakeholders as they prepare the UK for what comes next in a constantly changing world. Role Purpose
The team covers one of the most innovative and fast-moving policy areas in the UK and internationally. It focuses not only on the sustainability impacts of the tech sector itself, but the ability of digital technology in supporting the net zero transition of other sectors. This means working to both respond to the needs of members – briefing and advising them of policy changes and market developments - and the demands of UK government and its agencies, to help them design, deliver and evaluate policies in areas such as net zero, energy efficiency, sustainable chemistry, circular economy, and resource management. It also requires engagement with adjacent sectors, supply chain actors, government, and its agencies, to support the integration of digital solutions in sector’s net zero transitions, with a particular focus on energy, mobility, cities and in using digital twins. You will be a focal point for sustainability for all techUK’s 20 programmes to help ensure we are consistent with our messaging on climate, and to ensure we deliver content with integrity and rigor. In addition, you’ll be managing techUK’s work on wider business responsibility issues, such as responsible sourcing, modern slavery and ESG reporting, product safety, among other topics.
