The Alliance Secretariat is led by a team of diverse and dedicated climate experts with deep experience across sectors, government, and NGOs.
The U.S. Climate Alliance seeks a Policy Advisor to develop and implement policy solutions to decarbonize the buildings sector in Alliance states and territories, working closely with senior staff of the Alliance Secretariat. Last year, this coalition of governors announced a series of new commitments to eliminate emissions from buildings, including collectively quadrupling heat pump installations across the Alliance by the end of the decade.
The Policy Advisor will be charged with helping turn these commitments into action as the Alliance deepens its focus in this priority area. They will also advise on additional sectors as appropriate.
This role will report to the Policy Director and be expected to work as part of a broader team that includes Alliance states, consultants, and external partners. The position is part of the Energy and Climate team at the United Nations Foundation, which houses the U.S. Climate Alliance Secretariat.
The U.S. Climate Alliance seeks a highly motivated Federal & External Affairs Associate to help manage the coalition’s engagement with the federal government and external partners as we approach the next major inflection point in U.S. climate leadership. At the Federal level, new opportunities and challenges will arise for Alliance members as they continue making progress toward the goals of the Paris Agreement.
This position will be responsible for tracking federal climate action at the executive and legislative levels, advising Alliance members and Secretariat staff on major federal updates and opportunities for engagement, overseeing federal components of the Alliance’s weekly newsletter, managing relationships with federal and external partners, maintaining relevant databases and distribution lists, and working across the climate community to maximize the Alliance’s impact.
This role reports to the Alliance’s Federal & External Affairs Manager.
The Alliance is housed at the United Nations Foundation in Washington, D.C. To learn more about our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and comprehensive employee benefits package, please visit the United Nations Foundation Careers page.
