Director of International Programmes
- United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Are you passionate about powering up climate justice in the Global South, in particular clean, affordable energy for all? Are you keen to use your deep expertise on energy access to transform lives, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa? Are you ready to deploy your extensive skills to lead, develop and increase our impact in this area?
If so, this is a golden opportunity for you to achieve transformative impact.
The prestigious Ashden Awards have been rewarding trailblazing energy access champions and climate solutions in the Global South for over 20 years, and putting the need to support them on the map. Our programme of support for winners has helped many of these innovations to flourish and achieve large scale impact. Most recently, we have put refugee energy innovators on the global stage, funded wider access to sustainable cooling in farms and cities, proven how investment in skills and training can deliver a just transition, and boosted clean energy advocacy.
We are now seeking an experienced leader to further scale up our international work on energy access and climate solutions with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), collaborating with and supporting local partners to help them increase living standards and opportunities for marginalised people and communities at greatest risk from the climate crisis.
This is a one-year renewable contract, with the key task of reviewing, strengthening and growing our work in SSA to maximise our impact. This will include finding new ways to unblock large scale funding and investment into clean energy access, including in humanitarian settings, as well as into some nature-based solutions.
As well as overseeing expenditure for all our international programmes, a key task will be to work with colleagues in the fundraising team to secure significant new programme funding. You will also represent Ashden publicly and contribute to thought leadership on key issues.
Your in-depth experience will include working on clean energy access and climate action in Sub-Saharan Africa (or transferable expertise from other locations in the Global South); driving policy change, funding and investment to scale up climate solutions. You will also need a good understanding of budgeting, be a brilliant team leader and have a strong fundraising track record.
The role is four days per week, based in London with the flexibility to work remotely. Regular travel to SSA is required.
First interviews will take place online on 19 February and second interviews will be in person at our office in Victoria on 22 February.
