Location:

Remote – Global

Organization Description:

Heavy industry is the foundation of modern society. We need materials like cement, steel, and aluminum more than ever to rebuild our bridges and roads, construct wind and solar projects, and manufacture electric vehicles and heat pumps that will undergird our future. But industry needs a second revolution. For as much as industry made the middle class and ushered in a remarkable era of prosperity for many, it also threatens our climate, reinforces environmental racism, wastes valuable materials and energy, and leaves communities and workers behind. 

At Industrious Labs, our mission is to set into motion unstoppable policies, people power, and analysis to make a triple impact on climate, justice, and jobs that drastically reduce dangerous emissions, and make industry accountable to communities and workers. 

Salary/benfits:

The salary for this position is $156,000

Position description:

Industrious Labs exists to transform industry for climate, jobs and justice. We seek an entrepreneurial leader to direct our growing campaign to transform the cement industry. Industrious Labs is fully remote. You’ll report to Partner and Campaigns Director Evan Gillespie.

You’re a highly skilled strategist with the expertise to effectively establish programs that span both the U.S. and the Global South. And you’re energized by climate, union jobs, and environmental justice. While you don’t need a background in cement, enthusiasm for the sector (and fluency with the range of puns, from “cement is the foundation of global development” to “concrete outcomes”) is vital. A background in industrial policy, international development, and/or building effective coalitions is also helpful.

This is a public-facing role, managing a team working to decarbonize cement in the Global South, while building a program stateside in the U.S. We’re seeking an equity-centered leader with a solid track record of building programs, winning campaigns, and raising funds to resource the work. You will immediately manage one Senior Campaign Strategist. Periodic domestic and international travel is expected (4 to 6 times per year). Given the global nature of the work, some early morning or late evening meetings will be needed to speak with partners around the globe.

We are open to both U.S.-based and non-U.S. based candidates, but non-U.S. based candidates will need to demonstrate the logistical feasibility of coordinating with U.S.-based colleagues and occasionally traveling to the U.S.

Responsibilities

You’ll hold responsibilities that will evolve over time as the team grows and functions are distributed. In year one, the role will include: 

• Oversee the development and execution of the Global Cement Network, ensuring strong strategy and effective implementation in partnership with the Field Building Department.
• Build a U.S. campaign strategy that integrates the organization’s strengths with a policy and power analysis. 
• Determine, help raise, and manage the campaign budget. This includes leading funder engagement, ensuring cost effectiveness, and reporting to funders.
• Oversee the learning and impact evaluation of the campaign, tracking progress and benchmarks against strategic plans and proactively producing reports and analyses to inform strategies and improve results.
• Oversee the management of campaign staff, and help drive an effective cross-functional team, ensuring a strong team culture that is strategically focused to build power in the Global South and US. 

Other key responsibilities include: 

• Identifying research needs and working with our analytics team to execute. 
• Identifying earned and owned media engagement needs and working with a communications team to execute.
• Occasionally serving on internal teams that support the health and functioning of the whole, including work to build a more inclusive organization.

• Identifying research needs and working with our analytics team to execute.

Experience

Comfort in a matrixed work environment and skill with cross-functional collaboration.

Scrappiness and resourcefulness, with a bias toward action and a “figure it out” mindset.

Entrepreneurial spark – you’ve build things before and thrive in fast-moving, dynamic environments where you don’t have all the answers.

You’ve got opinions, not an ego – you’re someone who can lead big, inspiring projects and still laugh at your own typos.

Industrious Labs Core Qualifications

Below are the qualifications expected of all Industrious Labs staff. 

Commitment to giving and receiving direct, compassionate feedback.

Deep alignment with our mission, values, and goals.
