Job Description
Centre for Net Zero is a not-for-profit open research institute established in 2021 as an autonomous part of the Octopus Energy Group.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and scale (including securing resources where necessary) CNZ's strategic assets to increase overall impact in alignment with CNZ's mission. Examples of our strategic assets include our visiting researchers programme and our Faraday AI model.
- Lead research, market insights, and intelligence by curating external thinking, partnering with leading third parties to challenge our perspective, and using inventive methods to shape our research programme.
- Drive strategic and tactical projects from problem to delivery, and contribute to others. This is likely to include projects in support of fundraising, and may include unusual or complex field trials or modelling partnerships.
- Own and deliver strategic organisational development initiatives, including driving the adoption of AI across the business.
- Work closely with the CEO and executive team to drive operational excellence, championing a high-performing culture of rapid execution and seamless information flow.
Requirements
- Around 5+ years experience in a strategy consulting setting, or working closely with C-level execs or founders in a venture-backed startup.
- Demonstrable interest in the research ecosystem, in the UK and internationally.
- Strong interest in energy, able to learn quickly and communicate complex topics across sectors.
- A proven track record of working independently, driving multiple priorities at once, and seeing projects through to the finish line.
- An entrepreneurial instinct, able to shape ambiguity into opportunity and to separate productive risk-taking from imprudent decision making.
- Strong writing, analytical skills, and critical thinking; you could spot and explain an overconfident or incorrect AI contribution that others would miss.
- Able to work from CNZ's office near Oxford Circus, a minimum of three days per week to start.
- Experience of securing philanthropic, foundation or grant funding.
- Recent experience of using AI-based technologies to make organisations, teams and products better.
- Experience of open source technologies, tools, and communities.
