Program Officer – Power Sector
San Francisco

The ClimateWorks Foundation Program Officer – Power Sector San Francisco, CA Full Time About the Organization The ClimateWorks Foundation is a worldwide network of philanthropic and non-governmental organizations whose goal is to prevent dangerous climate change. Our objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 billion metric tons per year by the year 2030, and ensure that global average temperatures do not increase by more than 2° centigrade – a threshold that most climate scientists describe as a dangerous tipping point. To achieve this objective, ClimateWorks promotes smart government policies that reduce reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources; rapidly deploy clean, efficient energy technologies and low-carbon infrastructure; and reduce the rate of deforestation in the world’s largest, most threatened tropical forests. We prioritize this work in the nations, regions, and economic sectors responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions – thus increasing our chances of success. The ClimateWorks Foundation’s unique strategy rests on three organizational pillars: • The ClimateWorks Foundation manages the ClimateWorks Network, conducts in-depth policy research and economic analyses, raises needed funds, and sets funding priorities based on the most urgent challenges and largest opportunities for reducing emissions. • Regional Climate Foundations manage grant portfolios in priority nations, focusing on local and regional politics and campaign-style advocacy. They draw on deep, in-country political expertise and understanding of local conditions to lay the groundwork for policy victories. • Best Practice Networks put world-class knowledge to work in the sectors responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions. The policy analysts, technologists, and former regulators who staff Best Practice Networks are deeply embedded in the policymaking process and know how to work with decision makers to ensure policy efficacy. Program Officer - Power Sector The ClimateWorks Foundation seeks a highly skilled and motivated Program Officer with expertise in the power sector to provide institutional development and sector-based strategy support for the ClimateWorks Network. The Program Officer - Power Sector will focus on design and implementation of policies that lead to energy suppliers maximizing opportunities for energy efficiency, maximizing the use of renewable energy, and limiting the use of unabated coal-derived energy. The Program Officer will provide support to the sector-based Best Practice Network for the power sector as well as the Program Officers focused on the power sectors residing at the Regional Foundations. The Program Officer will support the entire ClimateWorks Network on this topic, helping to develop and refine sector-based strategies and research, facilitate exchange between internal and external groups to uncover and address new issues within the sector, convene key decision-makers to increase the understanding of and commitment to implementing sound energy policies, and help build internal Network capacities to deliver on our collective goals. The Program Officer will also support the organizational development of the Best Practice Network, including the development of strategic plans, operational plans, staff and governance plans and mechanisms which increase the organization’s access to and impact in influencing key decision-makers. Primary Duties and Responsibilities More specifically, the Program Officer will: • Facilitate strategy implementation for the power sector. This will require the development of strong relationships within the ClimateWorks Network and helping the Regional Climate Foundations and Best Practice Network identify areas for collaboration, knowledge-sharing and assistance. • Manage strategy development and oversee a grant portfolio and budget (approximately $10 million to start) for the Best Practice Network and Regional Climate Foundations to collectively accomplish targeted policy goals, including monitoring the results of collective and individual strategies and grants. • Work with external organizations and/or experts to further develop the Best Practice Network for the power sector. This will include: advising on strategic and operational plans, establishing the Board of Directors and other advisory bodies, setting up new offices, establishing partnerships with other relevant organizations, advancing the collection and dissemination of information on best practices in the design and implementation of relevant policies, and providing outreach to the decision-makers the Network aims to influence. • Facilitate sharing of knowledge between organizations on program strategy, campaign approaches, organizational development and other areas, and help identify new areas for sharing that organizations would benefit from. • Identify research priorities and work with the ClimateWorks Network organizations and the ClimateWorks research team to conduct needed research. • Identify fund-raising priorities and work with the ClimateWorks Network organizations and the ClimateWorks development team to raise needed funds. • Maintain relationships with the ClimateWorks Network, grantees, other funders, and other experts and leaders in the field. • Solicit, review, and recommend strategic plans for funding. • Write, and sometimes present, dockets for board consideration. • Make presentations on Network strategy to internal and external audiences. • Monitor the impact of individual grants. • Initiate strategy calls and meetings as needed. • Engage directly in the field as needed. • Help prepare compelling proposals and reports for the ClimateWorks Foundation’s funding partners and broader stakeholders. Professional Qualifications and Personal Attributes The successful applicant will have the following minimum qualifications: • A deep commitment to the mission and values of the ClimateWorks Foundation. • Strong facilitation, convening, mediation, and negotiation skills. • At least five to seven years’ experience in the field of energy policy, either in policy development or execution. Experience in energy efficiency preferred. • Extensive experience in building new institutions or programs, including the development of strategic and operational plans, hiring staff and developing Boards of Directors, and building organizational partnerships. • Comfort with qualitative and quantitative energy policy analysis, or related environmental policy analysis. • A strong track record of applying sound political and strategic judgment in complex situations. • Experience working or living abroad, particularly in developing countries. • An insightful, independent, analytic mind; intellectual curiosity. • Experience negotiating with government officials or business leaders. • Experience creating collaboration among networks of organizations or companies. • Proven ability to initiate and manage projects. • Outstanding written and verbal communications skills. • Ability to work well in a team. • Enthusiastic personality and sense of humor. • Willingness to travel. • Multilingual applicants preferred. • Masters or other advanced degree preferred.
