The World Economic Forum, committed to improving the state of the world, is the international organization for public-private cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

Why we are recruiting

The Forum’s Platform for

Energy, Materials and Infrastructure Platform

(ENMATI) supports business, governments, and society in building resilience to today’s challenges while undertaking the transformations necessary to deliver on the energy, materials and infrastructure needed for the future.

The ENMATI Platform is focused on accelerating the effective transition of the energy, materials and infrastructure sectors that build the foundations of a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive society. It brings together leaders from the electricity, oil and gas, mining and metals, chemicals, infrastructure and engineering industries.

The ENMATI platform, its programs and partner companies are engaged on the net-zero industry transformation via engagement on sectoral initiatives such as the

First Mover Coalition

, the

Mission Possible Partnership

and additional geographical initiatives and cross-industry initiatives on circular economy, decarbonisation technologies, digitalisation, public procurement or transition financing.

The Forum’s

Center for Nature and Climate

(CNC) acts as a system leader for the environment and natural resource security, food security, development finance and sustainable development activities at the Forum. It also hosts the Forum’s Climate Action Platform and the Circular Economy for net-zero industry transitions programme, which aims to scale circular economy solutions for the decarbonization of heavy industry.

The

First Mover Coalition

is a global initiative harnessing the purchasing power of companies to decarbonize seven “hard to abate” industrial sectors that currently account for 30% of global emissions: Aluminium, Aviation, Chemicals, Concrete, Shipping, Steel, and Trucking; along with innovative Carbon Removal technologies. The companies who make up the Coalition seek to send a powerful market signal to commercialize zero-carbon technologies.

The Forum is seeking to hire an Industry Decarbonization Lead for Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals sectors to continue building and drive industry and multistakeholder coalitions in the context of the

First Mover Coalition

, the Mission Possible Partnership, as well as other sector or regional initiatives and activities responding broadly to the challenge of reducing GHG emissions in the Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals industries.
