We identify the obstacles slowing progress, then work with partners to design and run collaborative campaigns that remove them. We bring together allies across civil society, policy and industry to influence the narrative and politics of energy.The transition to clean energy can improve everything: lower bills, better jobs, cleaner air and more connected communities. Yet progress is still too slow and increasingly vulnerable to misinformation and political backlash.Now entering our third year, SEP is leading global communications efforts, coordinating campaign coalitions, and launching audience-led interventions in key countries. We're helping the climate movement fight smarter, faster, and together.<h2>Who we’re looking for</h2>We’re looking for a Campaign Director to help tell a bigger, bolder story about the energy transition - inspiring people to see clean energy as the foundation for healthier lives, stronger communities and greater security.You’ll help shift how people think and talk about energy by building communications that reach beyond the usual audiences. You’ll work with influencers, community voices, experts and unexpected allies to make clean energy feel practical, popular and urgent.To change everything, it takes everyone. That’s why you’ll help SEP play a leading role in networks that bring together hundreds of organisations working towards the same goal. You’ll spot opportunities for collaboration, support the leadership of others and help turn shared ambition into joint projects that are more than the sum of their parts.Working closely with the Senior Director, you’ll deliver news-driven, cutting-edge communications, support rapid-response work and coordinate with partners across our global network to share intelligence, test ideas and collaborate on high-impact interventions in public and political debates.This role is ideal for a strong communicator or campaigner who is both strategic and hands-on. You can translate big-picture strategy into compelling content, build trusted relationships with collaborators and move quickly when opportunities arise.We’re looking for someone who is ahead of the curve on communications and campaigns. You understand that speeding up the shift to clean energy means breaking out of echo chambers, building alliances with new audiences and unlikely partners, and shaping news agendas in real time with digital-first, innovative tactics.
