About Us
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.
About the Position
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.
What You'll Do
You'll hold responsibilities that will evolve over time as the team grows and functions are distributed. In year one, the role will include:
Other key responsibilities include:
Who You Are
You're committed to Industrious Labs' mission and values, with the leadership chops and entrepreneurial spirit to direct this dynamic, growing campaign. You're a strategic thinker, strong collaborator, and skilled campaigner who can work across lines of difference and lead with humility and purpose. You may not have a background in cement decarbonization, climate, or global development - or you may! - but you definitely have a passion for those topics, and you can transfer your own skills and experience to transformation of the cement industry.
