📋 Description

• Develop the strategic thesis with the CCO: how installers move from a trained workforce into real policy influence – a tipping point – and the pathway that gets them there, and the case for why it works • Advise on the hard prioritisation calls: which markets and tactics to back in Phase 2, what to drop, and how the initiative is positioned so funders and partners back it over the long term • Synthesise research and findings into a sequenced Phase 2 blueprint: validated assumptions, per-country cost models, and honest reads on where the strategy is strongest and weakest • Design and drive structured research across five markets: installer and SME interviews, channel audits, skills-gap assessments, and power analysis of where networks are strong and where they need building • Work with chapters and in-country partners to name one to two winnable near-term reforms per market, at national and local levels, tied to installer economics and deployment • Audit each market's ecosystem, trade associations, training networks, think tanks, journalists, and aligned funders, and identify which partnerships are worth formalising in Phase 2 • Coordinate lean national teams and delivery partners in five countries, keeping local engagement moving while holding a coherent global picture • Broker the relationships that move the initiative, from provincial installer associations to national policy bodies to global alliances such as the Global Renewables Alliance and Global Solar Alliance, and partners in the Global Clean Energy Network • Oversee the design and early testing of the core Phase 2 components, a curriculum and training plan, a story and messaging desk prototype, and a community-of-practice pilot, with the Curriculum & Capacity-Building Lead • Define success for Phase 1 and Phase 2: the theory of change, the indicators, and the logframe funders can hold the initiative to, including the near-term policy targets each market is aiming at • Build the impact measurement approach, with baselines set in Phase 1 and a credible way to evidence the link from installer capacity and voice through to policy influence

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years in advocacy, campaigns, policy, public affairs, or program strategy, with clear proof you've built something rather than run an existing machine • A strategist who also does the work: you can hold the big picture and personally run the interviews, the power maps, and the synthesis • Knowledge of the clean energy space (especially solar) and the policy levers that move deployment (net metering, grid connection, storage rules, import duties) • Strong research and analytical instincts: stakeholder mapping, power analysis, landscape assessment, and turning messy field input into clear decisions • Genuine comfort with ambiguity and a fast start. This is a six-month clock and you will hit the ground running • Experience working across cultures, countries, and time zones, ideally in emerging markets • Exceptional English writing: you can turn analysis into clear, concise story a funder or partner will act on • You use AI tools thoughtfully to work faster while keeping strong judgment and high standards • We hope you bring one or more of these bonus skills • Experience working with and influencing coalitions, networks, or trade associations • Deep experience in one or more of the five pilot markets • A regional language (Bahasa Indonesia, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Urdu, Hausa, or others) • Familiarity with behavioural science or social-movement research
