Are you passionate about working with the public, private and third sectors to deliver transformational strategies that directly respond to climate change? We’re looking for a Project and Impact Manager to accelerate climate action across Yorkshire and Humber, with a particular focus on the energy transition.
The Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission (YHCC) is an independent advisory body working with public, private and third sector organisations across the region to support action towards rapid decarbonisation, climate adaptation and resilience, nature’s recovery, and a just (fair, and inclusive) transition across the region.
To deliver our ambitious work programme, we are seeking a motivated and proactive Project and Impact Manager to lead the Commission’s workstreams on energy transition and health.
The appointed candidate will work with the Commission’s network to:
- Lead and coordinate YHCC’s energy transition work programme, including projects on strategic energy planning, energy governance and a just transition and support Commissioners leading on this work to accelerate place-based action.
- Convene and support the Yorkshire & Humber Future Energy Forum ensuring that regional insight informs policy, planning and delivery.
- Convene and support the Climate and Health Partnership.
- Develop briefings, reports, consultation responses and policy positions that translate evidence and stakeholder insight into clear recommendations.
- Build and maintain relationships with local and combined authorities, energy networks, public bodies, academic partners, businesses, civil society and community organisations.
- Design and facilitate workshops, roundtables and engagement processes.
- Track and communicate the impact of the Commission’s work.
- Act as the Commissions’ Team support for the Communities and Engagement Group.
