About GWEC:


The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) is a high-profile organisation and trade association leading the international clean energy transition as the world seeks to stay within 1.5c global warming target.

Our mission is to ensure that wind power establishes itself as the answer to today's energy challenges, providing substantial environmental and economic benefits.

We have innovative programmes and collaborations promoting sustainable offshore wind development, mentoring women working in wind industry, education and energy access.

We are a Belgium registered non-profit with subsidiary companies and offices in the UK, India, China, Singapore and a global staff of around 70.

We have grown our revenue five times in as many years and have bold growth plans over the next decade as we seek the urgent scale up of wind and clean energy in new and existing markets.

GWEC is increasingly working through hosted collaborations which bring like-minded organisations together to achieve the wider goals. One such organisation is the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) which brings together the associations representing the major renewables technologies.

GRA campaigns for growth in renewables, including at high profile events including New York Climate Week and COP with its Double Down, Triple Up - 3X Renewables campaign.

This is an exciting new position for a highly motivated, organised, analytical and collaborative grants management professional with the experience and commitment to manage a portfolio of grants, including ensuring that project leads have the tools, systems and processes in place to deliver against their grants, whilst adhering to organisational and donor-specific compliance standards.

Over the next two years, GWEC expects to rapidly scale up the number and size of the grants that we are managing globally, and the post-holder will play a pivotal role in securing new grants, and
