4 months ago


Remote, United Kingdom Ember Full time

Bring your strategic expertise to build a clean global power sector and halt climate change. After 3 years, Ember is now 40 team members around the world with an amazing track record of real influence on energy policy, and we are planning to expand further in the coming months. You’ll help guide and coordinate our policy team leads as they look for new ways to turn data into action - and your vision will shape Ember as we continue to accelerate the energy transition.

**The role**

Our policy teams have a track record of shifting the energy and climate debate at the national and regional (e.g. EU) level towards the most effective policies, and empowering other advocates to do the same. Internally, our policy teams provide national and regional expertise to support the activities of other Ember teams.

As Head of Policy & Strategy you will have overall accountability for coordinating the policy teams, including line management of the four policy team leads, covering Asian electricity policy, European electricity policy, global coal mine methane policy, and global insights. You will be responsible for guiding overall organisation policy strategy, working closely with our senior data and policy experts, and bringing new vision to how our core policy products have impact throughout the year. You will support team leads with each team’s growth and development; guiding them towards high-impact work areas, structuring narratives and impactful research; ensuring cross-regional collaboration and coherence of strategies, objectives and activities.

Product delivery and analysis will be the responsibilities of each team, who operate within Ember’s strongly autonomous culture, but you will act as a guide and sounding board to ensure their work is directed to have the most impact. You would report to the Managing Director.

**Key responsibilities**:
**People Management**
- Line management of Ember’s four policy team leads: Europe, Asia, Coal Mine Methane, Global Insights.
- As an influential member of the organisation, you will help create a positive learning culture and will undertake coaching with team members to help them develop.
- Encourage creativity, innovation and cross-regional collaboration throughout the team.
- Oversee the expansion of new policy teams e.g. MENA.

**Policy Strategy**
- Coordinate the development of Ember-wide policy positions and ensure they are tailored for and implemented across Ember’s target geographies.
- Design and oversee the delivery of global policy projects which unblock bottlenecks in the clean power transition.
- Boost Ember’s unique contribution to climate and energy policy, as well as mapping and shaping how the organisation fits with others in the sector.
- Develop a strategic vision for Ember’s core product offering, which includes Global/Regional Electricity Reviews and monthly data stories, ensuring collaboration across all of Ember’s teams together with the Project Manager.
- Develop core narratives for Ember in partnership with the Head of Comms.
- In close collaboration with the Team Leads, ensure that Ember’s strategy is translated into a set of coherent, leverageable and effective policy objectives in the countries and regions where analysts work.
- Support Team Leads in areas such as recruitment, budgeting and fundraising
- Develop methods and approaches for research that will help to scale up and ensure consistent quality of output.

**External partnerships**
- Build on our network of global organisations and decision makers in energy and climate policy.
- Public speaking, representing Ember at events and in media interviews.
- Staying abreast of the latest developments in the global electricity transition.

**Requirements**:
**Essential**
- At least 10 years of experience in the energy and/or climate sector, with knowledge of the policy landscape in which Ember operates.
- Senior management experience in strategy and policy development.
- Strong experience supporting and managing senior leaders, with a track record of encouraging autonomy.
- Experience of leading the development and managing the production of impactful research/ policy outputs.
- A great understanding of using data to make real world change.
- Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, demonstrating an inclusive and collegiate management style, with a proven ability to motivate and inspire staff.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to diverse audiences and building Ember’s brand, as well as a strong network in the energy sector.
- Passion for combating climate change.

**Nice to have**
- Language skills in Asia.
- Experience in fundraising and donor relations.
- Understanding of not for profit sector.
- Experience of working in a global organisation.
