Manager, Industrial Innovation, Europe

Position description

Clean Air Task Force (CATF) is a nonprofit organization working to safeguard against the worst impacts of climate change by catalyzing the rapid global development and deployment of low-carbon energy and other climate-protecting technologies. This is accomplished through research and analysis, public advocacy leadership, and partnership with the private sector. CATF is highly respected for its deep expertise and research on energy and industrial systems and potential strategies, technologies, and policies that can radically shrink their impact on the planet’s atmosphere. Our team of experts and advocates (and global network of subject matter experts and civil society partners) put this research and knowledge into action by designing and enacting public policies that drive toward zero emissions. We also support policies and work directly with private industry to innovate in technology to make the path to zero emissions swift and affordable. CATF has offices in Boston, Washington D.C., and Brussels, with staff working virtually around the world.

ROLE

The Manager for the Industrial Innovation Program will lead on analyses, thought leadership, and advocacy around industrial decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors in Europe. They will focus on supporting the deployment of key clean technologies, including hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and electrification, across critical industries. This role will contribute to deepening CATF’s technical expertise in decarbonizing the highest emitting sectors in Europe to better inform advocacy efforts for pragmatic industrial policy, including at the EU-level and in key Member States.
