Ember has been working on addressing electricity transition challenges in key ASEAN countries and we are now looking to amplify our impact across the region. You will work with other electricity policy experts within Ember’s Asia team – especially a new SE Asia Senior Electricity Policy analyst, and a community of national energy experts across South East Asia, to inform power sector policies and empower advocacies to accelerate clean electricity transitions in the region.
We are looking for a passionate electricity policy analyst to support our research and advocacy programme in the ASEAN countries – especially in, but not limited to, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam. You will help focus the minds of stakeholders in the region on the policies needed to achieve a much-expanded clean electricity system in the next two decades.
This role is a unique opportunity to influence one of the most important policy areas of this decade in the ASEAN region. It builds upon Ember’s previous work in Asia tracking and commenting on electricity transition, which already had an impact in countries across Asia.
To be successful in this role, you will need to have a proven record of producing compelling data-led research or analysis and have a strong understanding of South East Asia’s energy policy landscape.
This is a remote role, working with a pan-Asian team. We are also hiring a senior electricity policy analyst at this time.

- Support Ember’s ongoing research and advocacy work in ASEAN countries to help accelerate their transition to clean electricity.
- Work with colleagues from the Asia policy team to feed into the Asia team strategy and objectives
- Build and maintain an influential network of external stakeholders and experts to maximise impact on the wider policy debate and explore opportunities for collaboration
- Support in addressing media queries related to clean electricity transition in ASEAN countries
Must have
- Minimum 5 years of experience in SE Asia, working in a research or an analytical role on energy transition
- Strong understanding of power sector policies and barriers to clean electricity transition in ASEAN countries
- Experience of developing policy reports and articles independently as well as strong verbal communication skills
- Skill for communicating the key insights from a complex subject or dataset in an accessible and compelling way.
- Passionate about reducing global greenhouse gas emissions
- Self-motivated, able to work independently; able to multitask; set priorities and meet deadlines with limited direction while working remotely
- Fluent in English and at least one SE Asian national language
- A natural collaborator with a disposition to work generously with colleagues from different time zones
Nice to have
- Proven experience in creating policy impact in ASEAN region through data and research

- Understanding and vision for 1.5 degree pathway for ASEAN countries
- Fascination with data and data visualisation
