Description |
E3G is looking for a Policy Advisor to join its growing Clean Economy team. A recognised global leader in the political economy of the energy transition, E3G is looking for a strategic thinker to develop E3G’s work on the German energy and industry transitions. This will include analysis and engagement to shape decisions on infrastructure choices, the future of gas and building an active coalition of clean economy actors. The role will be based in E3G’s Berlin office. About E3GE3G is a European think tank working globally to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy. We build the broad-based coalitions necessary to deliver a safe climate. We pride ourselves on bringing independence to an extremely polarised discussion and holding policy makers to account on their promises. E3G is consistently ranked as one of the top-ten most influential environmental think tank’s in the world by the University of Pennsylvania’s Global Go To Think Tank Index. E3G values diversity and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or ethnic background. About the roleA transformation to a global low carbon economy must happen by mid-century if we are to avoid dangerous climate change. The Clean Economy Programme undertakes analysis, builds strategies and facilitates interventions for a transition to a climate neutral world. It looks at how societies, relationships and economy will change and seeks to put institutions and instruments in place to facilitate this. E3G has been a thought leader on energy systems transition, the role of gas in the transition and the transformation of the industry sector. As Europe’s largest consumer of gas, a key infrastructure hub and diplomatic player, Germany will be at the core of the European clean economy transition. This Policy Advisor role will shape E3G’s engagement on the energy and industry transitions in Germany. The role will support action on shaping Germany’s role as an international actor in particular with view to shaping Germany’s G7 presidency in 2022. This person will lead strategy development for working on the gas transition in Germany – working from both the perspective of the broader energy system transition and on the specific risks and opportunities for accelerating gas phaseout presented by industry decarbonisation, seizing the opportunity of a new government coming into office and linking this work closely to our EU and global strategies. The role will develop a clean energy coalition in Germany, working with civil society and business stakeholders to keep momentum behind the transition and navigate complex energy choices. This requires understanding of the energy and industry transitions and the willingness to quickly learn about complex technicalities; and it also requires the ability to make sense of the broader political choices behind these transitions. This role is offered on a 1-year fixed-term basis with the possibility of further extension. Key Responsibilities
