This new role based in E3G’s Brussels office will lead on work driving reform in EU public and private finance to enable a low-carbon economic transformation. The role will be offered at Policy Advisor or Senior Policy Advisor level depending on the successful candidate’s skills and experience.
Background
E3G is a European think tank working to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy. We build the broad-based coalitions necessary to deliver a safe climate. We pride ourselves on bringing independence to an extremely polarised discussion and holding policy makers to account on their promises.
A transformation to a global low carbon economy must happen by mid-century if we are to avoid dangerous climate change. This will require regulatory, market, economic and institutional reforms to ensure that financial markets actively deliver sustainable development outcomes. E3G’s Sustainable Finance program works towards green finance reforms and redirection of financial flows.
European institutions are currently responding to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, working within the framework of the European Green Deal and making a Renewed Sustainable Finance Strategy a key element of its policy program. As an international standard-setter Europe must renew its engagement with the wider world following the current crisis, and nearer to home must reset its relationship with the UK on finance and other issues.
The successful applicant will take the lead on work relating to European financial policy and financial diplomacy, both at EU level and in key Member States. They will proactively work to shape through analysis and advocacy the financing frameworks required to support delivery of resilient low-carbon economies, including the European Commission’s renewed Sustainable Finance Strategy as well as other relevant policy files. As well as working on policy at a European or national level they will work to support Europe’s role as an international leader setting policy norms and frameworks around sustainable finance. All these activities will involve cross-organisational working across different teams and offices.
E3G values diversity and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or ethnic background.
