Senior Campaigner, Energy Futures and Transitions

About the position:

Oil Change International is seeking a Senior Campaigner for an initial nine month contract with the potential for renewal.

This position will work to advance key campaign and communications strategies related to the critical phase-out of fossil fuel production. There is more carbon in already producing oil, gas, and coal reserves than we can afford to burn and stay within the Paris Agreement climate limits. Climate leadership must be expanded to mean: no financing for, no exploring for, and no expanding into new fossil fuel production. And for many countries, it also means planning for a just transition and equitably managed decline of the sector towards 100% renewable economies.

The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, with strong relationship building skills, as well as experience coordinating a national or international campaign effort from start to finish. They will have a proven record of driving change and delivering results in a fast-paced environment.

Major responsibilities:

• Lead implementation of core campaigns including:
  • Advancing efforts to build a club of “First Mover” countries (or in some cases large sub-
    national jurisdictions like states or provinces) acting to begin a managed decline of oil, gas, and coal production and a just transition for workers and communities in line with the Paris Agreement climate goals
  • Supporting efforts to ensure the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook’s main energy scenario maps a path that will meet the Paris Agreement’s climate goals
• Actively engage and implement strategic communications efforts for the program including:
  • Working closely with the communications team to develop and advance broad strategic
    communications goals at an international level
• Play an active (potential leadership) role in OCI’s engagement with multi-organizational networks
• Work closely with the research team to support thought leadership projects within the program
• Actively engage in cross-programmatic work as appropriate within the organization

Skills and experience required:

• At least five years’ experience coordinating an international or national campaign on a related issue;
• Excellent strategic and political awareness, including an ability to adapt to changing external environment, capitalise on opportunities, and achieve change objectives;
• Experience working with coalitions;
• An international mindset, including familiarity with thinking and working across multiple political/
  cultural contexts and working with a wide range of stakeholders;
• Demonstrated project management experience and ability to develop and execute complex
  campaign strategies;
• Proven communications and media experience;
• Excellent written and verbal communications;
• Commitment to the mission of Oil Change International and a passion for social justice;
