ASLで働く

This role will create an incentive for the steel industry to decarbonize. That means working to generate demand for green steel amongst customers, disincentivizing production of dirty steel, and supporting solutions work with leading stakeholders and government that makes it easier for companies to transition. On a practical level, that involves analyzing corporate strategy, running investigations, writing and commissioning reports, building stakeholder coalitions, developing relationships with target companies, regulators and influential journalists. The role will expand beyond Korea to engage with steelmakers in the APAC region. 

You are a proven experienced strategist that understands power, and how to build and deploy it to create real-world impacts. Rather than taking a cookie-cutter approach to campaigning, you analyse your particular industry, its growth strategies, regulatory environment and leading  stakeholders, creating a tailored intervention that leverages key players' self-interest and vulnerabilities.

You understand business strategy and how it relates to energy procurement and decarbonisation. You are relentless and have the confidence to influence powerful stakeholders.

Green steel is the manufacturing of steel without the use of fossil fuels. 

The steel sector is a major driver of climate change, with estimates that it contributes 11% of global CO2 emissions. Given projected steel demand, if business as usual continues then it is estimated that steel would contribute 2.8-3.6 Gt of emissions by 2050. Such a trajectory would fail the Paris Agreement climate objective of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and ideally to 1.5°C. 

Required

• Exceptional analytical skills, with demonstrated experience in power mapping.
• The proven ability to independently develop theories of change and test them in application.
• Demonstrated understanding of corporate power and influence building tactics in Korea, or the ability to develop this.
• Experience writing campaign strategies and breaking them down into work plans for a team.
• Proven high-level stakeholder organizing skills.
• High-level communication skills, including the ability to decode corporate marketing, develop campaign branding and messaging, collaborate with creative teams, and build relationships with journalists. 
• A demonstrated understanding of industrial decarbonization, the barriers and opportunities, and the role of government in enabling or impeding energy transition.
• The ability to nurture collaborative, cross-functional teams.
• Fluency in written and spoken English is essential, Korean is desirable. 

• Opportunity to have a major impact as a part of a senior team of like-minded and ambitious strategists who will challenge and support you to deliver climate outcomes.
• A dynamic, progressive, and family-oriented work environment.
• Flexible working hours and remote work.
• Networking and development opportunities with organizations across twenty countries.
• A competitive NGO salary, and for those used to corporate rates, freedom to make a difference.
• International travel required.

Effective corporate climate reporting is critical to addressing the climate crisis; if emissions aren’t clearly accounted for, there is no way to ensure they are reduced. The defacto global standards for corporate emissions accounting are currently under review. That means we have a once in a decade opportunity to fix major loopholes in emissions reporting and increase corporate accountability for climate impacts.

There is a pressing need for a Senior Project Manager who can lead civil society efforts to strengthen corporate emissions reporting. With leading scientists warning we are failing in our efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, there are few jobs that are more important or offer a greater opportunity to make a difference.

• Experience in corporate accounting or financial reporting, or expertise in this area developed through advocacy, government or finance/consulting work.
• Experience in energy project development, energy procurement and energy policy.
• Knowledge of corporate accountability frameworks and sustainability reporting.
• Knowledge of strategies and tactics used by corporations to build power and influence, and deliver on their industry strategy and legislative agenda.
• Demonstrated project management skills and the ability to coordinate and build alliances with experts and non-experts.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate a cross-functional team.
• Knowledge of the UNFCCC intergovernmental process and of climate change mitigation issues is desirable.

Monitor and Analyse Reporting Regimes:

• Analyse developments in corporate GHG emissions reporting regimes and standards, both voluntary and mandatory.
• Identify major loopholes in corporate emissions reporting and assess their impact on corporate accountability for climate change.

Stakeholder Engagement and Advocacy:

• Identify and analyse companies and political entities lobbying for weaker GHG emissions reporting standards, understanding their sources of influence.
• Identify and engage experts and allies (corporate, political, academic, NGO) to collaborate on robust reporting standards.
• Develop and implement strategic interventions to empower experts and allies working towards accurate reporting standards.

Transparency and Accountability Projects:

• Develop and implement projects to enhance transparency and accountability for stakeholders advocating weaker reporting standards.

Strategic Coordination:

• Collaborate with the ASL executive team on strategy, monitoring, budgeting, and team development.

• The chance to have a major impact. We have a senior team of ambitious strategists and can ensure you will be challenged and well supported to deliver outcomes.
• A progressive, family-friendly work environment.
• Remote work with flexible hours.
• Networking and professional development opportunities with major climate organisations across 20 countries.

Action Speaks Louder (ASL) is a not-for-profit galvanising people around the world to hold major corporations to account for their climate promises. We focus on pressuring corporations to walk the talk on climate, in order to help deliver international climate goals.

If we can pressure large consumer-facing, brand-sensitive corporations to live up to their climate commitments it will transform the landscape – dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting renewable energy procurement, whilst creating the political space for governments to increase ambition.

Action Speaks Louder has built a diverse team of campaigners across multiple countries, especially in the Asia Pacific region, and has a strong track record delivering outcomes from multinational companies.
