Findojobs South Africa | Climate And Energy Specialist

This is an 18-month contract position based in Newlands, Cape Town or Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
The Climate and Energy Specialist will play an essential role in facilitating WWF's overall energy strategy and ensuring it is science-based. Working in the Climate Action team, this is a key role to help drive WWF's vision of a just energy transformation in the South African and global context. A demonstrated extensive and deep technical knowledge base and skill set is therefore a critical requirement.
This position also requires the ability to develop strong advocacy tools to build support for a net zero emissions target within civil society, labour, and government. Additionally, it will enable WWF and partners to embark on a well-evidenced campaign and roadmap to drive a broader just energy transformation, potentially informing the direction of finance to key transition industries.
The Climate and Energy Specialist will also interact with WWF globally, providing an African perspective into the global climate and energy debate alongside the Climate & Energy Practice Focal Point.
The position requires a strong technical support approach, as well as targeted and clear interactions with stakeholders and policy to facilitate WWF's 2025 strategy.
