Vor 5 Tagen

Genf, Schweiz World Economic Forum Vollzeit

The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation, committed to improving the state of the World. We engage the foremost leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

The Forum’s Centre for Energy and Materials (CENMAT) serves as the multi-stakeholder platform that enables building new leadership coalitions and delivering cutting-edge insights required for a sustainable, secure and equitable energy future. The Centre engages leaders from the public and private sectors to deliver new insights and collaborations at the global, regional and national levels. Through our programs and activities, CENMAT creates impact and value for constituents in business, government and civil society.

Why we are Recruiting

Governments and international processes such as the G20, the Clean Energy Ministerial and others play a very important role in driving energy transition. Global and national policy decisions directly influence economic, geopolitical, social and technological developments related to the energy and materials transition. Strong engagement of governments and the public sector is critical to CENMAT's vision to deliver impact through public-private collaboration. The Forum’s CENMAT engages policy makers in our activities throughout the year and in various regions and multilateral fora that shape global and regional energy policy and energy transition agendas. Ensuring strong connections with policy makers and relevance of the Centre’s activities in key regions and countries is critical for creating impact.

We are hiring a Lead, Policy Engagement and Regional Action to successfully:

  • Strengthen the engagement of and relations with policy makers in our activities and build stronger connections between the Centre’s activities and related policy making in key countries.

  • Lead CENMAT’s engagement in key international processes, acting as our “sherpa” and coordinating the broader engagement of CENMAT in these (e.g., G20, G7, Conference of the Parties (COP), Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), Mission Innovation).

  • Strategically align and shape CENMAT’s activities in key regions and countries to increase impact.

  • Manage the Forum’s and CENMAT relationship with International Organizations of high relevance.

Reporting Lines & Interactions

The Lead, Policy Engagement and Regional Action reports to the Head, Energy Transition Intelligence and Regional Acceleration. S/he will build and maintain productive relationships with Program Leads and Heads internally within the Centre and with other relevant colleagues and teams across the Forum, particularly with the Centre for Regions, Trade and Geopolitics (CRTG). Establishing productive relationships externally with policy makers at senior levels and internally across the institution will be of utmost importance for succeeding in this role. This role is also part of CENMAT’s extended Leadership Team and will contribute to the strategic direction and expansion of the Centre’s impact.

Breakdown of Main Responsibilities

The successful candidate will drive the government and policy maker engagement for the Centre and the engagement with targeted international and regional intergovernmental processes. Responsibilities cover these main areas:

Engagement of Governments and Policy Makers in CENMAT Activities

  • Develop and nurture a strong network of senior energy policy makers from relevant countries, leading to higher engagement of policy makers in our initiatives, events and activities throughout the year.

  • Ensure increased policy-relevance of CENMAT activities and awareness among governments and policy makers, including creating strategies for CENMAT activities to become truly public-private and working to implement these through engaging relevant governments directly and through the Forum’s Government engagement teams.

  • Keep abreast of and analyze the implications of key global and regional-level policy changes, identifying related opportunities to inform policy at global or national level in priority countries and areas leveraging CENMAT activities.

International Processes, Events and Organizations

  • Serve as the Centre Lead for key international and regional policy processes and events to drive strategic CENMAT participation, visibility and influence, leveraging key centre initiatives. This includes but is not limited to G20, G7, CEM/MI, COP, and select regional policy processes in Asia, Latin America, EU and Africa. The successful candidate will act as the Centre’s “Sherpa” in these processes involving relevant colleagues from CENMAT and the World Economic Forum more broadly.

  • Be the Primary Engagement Manager for select international organizations, e.g. IRENA, IEA, OPEC, SE4All.

Regional Action

  • Strategically shape and align regional activities for CENMAT to ensure a strategic, targeted and coherent implementation of activities in priority regions to achieve impact. This will involve working closely with CENMAT colleagues acting as regional leads and with other relevant World Economic Forum teams.

  • Lead CENMAT regional coordination for Europe, serving as the key interface between the centre and the Europe regional team and external stakeholders to build and implement an impactful CENMAT agenda, aligned with regional priorities.

Preferred Experience and Profile

  • Experience in crafting public policy on energy-related topics.

  • Masters (or higher) degree in public policy, political economy, economics or similar fields. Focus on policy related to energy, climate or extractive industries is a plus.

  • Deep understanding of and passion for energy transition issues and ideally also materials transition. Proven record of relevant thought leadership, including published articles, presentations in international forums, and conference participations.

  • Knowledge and direct experience from international processes such as G20, G7, Clean Energy Ministerial, COP and others is a strong plus.

  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and relationship skills at very senior levels (minister, senior officials level), including the ability to forge strategic relationships and partnerships.

  • Excellent presentation skills as well as verbal and written language skills in English; other languages are an asset.

  • A team player, able to get things done effectively in a fast-paced environment. Ability to quickly develop and effectively communicate clear perspectives on strategic issues combined with excellent presentation and facilitation skills.
