SalaryAbout us
(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, and has a strong track record delivering outcomes from multinational companies.
We are committed to offering equal opportunities in a diverse, flexible, family-friendly, supportive working environment.
About you
You want to innovate and take on a new challenge. You are keen to develop and run cutting edge strategies and open a new frontier in climate advocacy. You like to build partnerships, and you like to get your hands dirty.
You can develop a deep understanding of technical policy details and communicate them confidently and accessibly to media and other audiences. You have a proven track record in campaigning, communications or advocacy; but above all, you’re great at getting out there and convincing people to do good stuff.
You do not have a massive ego. You like to get things done efficiently, with no fuss and without someone looming over your shoulder.
About the role
This role is about leading our strategy to catalyse change in the steel industry, build partnerships, develop and deliver effective campaigns, as well as identifying and shaping the capacity to make it happen.
Why ”green steel”?
Green steel is the manufacturing of steel without the use of fossil fuels.
The steel sector is a major source of global CO2 emissions that has so far attracted relatively little scrutiny or campaigning pressure. Steel is an energy and emissions-intense sector. With regard to global CO2 emissions, has estimated that steel contributes 11%. 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 evidently fail the Paris Agreement climate objective of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and ideally to 1.5°C.
This is a role where it’s really possible, and necessary, to be highly proactive and to leave a mark.
