Australia Energy Transformation – Program Associate

About the role

This role supports our two Co-Program Directors, who manage the Australian Energy Transformation team whose focus is to accelerate the transition to renewable energy domestically and for exports in an effort to transform Australia into a world leader in climate solutions. You’ll be the ‘chief wrangler’ who’ll bring high-level coordination and support to our team.

You’ll need to be a lateral thinker, problem-solver and be super-organised. You’re going to support the Co-Program Directors to prioritise, prepare and follow-through, so developing a deep understanding of our whole organisation, the Australia Energy Transformation programs and the context we’re operating in is going to make all the difference.

A big part of the job is to support the Co-Program Directors to help them focus on their highest leverage activities so you’ll need to bring decisive prioritisation and high levels of organisation to schedule their time and tasks. You’ll be engaging closely with everyone from board members, philanthropists, business and NGO leaders, as well as staff at all levels within our organisation. You’ll need a penchant for clear, direct communication, an unflappable nature, and the ability to read people and group dynamics. A knack for writing fast and well is a must – your average day could include everything from dashing off a chatty email to proof-reading a formal grant proposal.
