About New Energy Nexus New Energy Nexus (NEX) is an international NGO that supports climate solutions and builds a more equitable clean energy economy. Our laser focus is on clean energy entrepreneurs: providing them with funds, accelerators, and networks to thrive. They are our main audience and our agent of change. We started in California in 2004 and now operate across China, India, Southeast Asia, East and West Africa, and Australia. We have leveraged US$5.4 billion in investment and supported more than 11,000 entrepreneurs. About the Role & Opportunity This is a founding role, and a rare one. You will build a brand-new global initiative from the ground up, in a corner of clean energy advocacy that has barely been attempted anywhere in the world. Hundreds of thousands of solar and battery “micro” installers now earn their living from the energy transition. They have a personal stake in clean energy policies and how effectively they are implemented — but these installers are almost entirely absent from the policy processes and media narrative that shape those conditions. Installer Voices is a new initiative that sets out to change that: to identify, train, and connect the most influential installers across five markets so they become a constituency that policymakers and media cannot ignore. Very few organisations have tried to organise this workforce into a credible political voice. You get to work out how it's done. Philanthropic funders who know this field well have backed NEX to design the model, with much larger investments ready to follow if it proves out. Phase 1 is a focused six-month scoping and design phase across Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Nigeria, and Pakistan. You will lead it. You map the constituency and the policy landscape in each market, coordinate lean national teams and in-country partners, test the first program components, and produce the costed, evidenced blueprint that Phase 2 is built on. You are part policy researcher, part campaigner, part network coordinator. This role will involve extensive outreach and networking with national and international allies, from solar trade associations, to think tanks and global campaign partners. This is scoped as six months of scoping and design work, which means you’ll need to hit the ground running. If we successfully build the case and secure funding for phase 2, this role becomes the leadership seat for the initiative, growing into a role running delivery across markets. You will not carry it alone. You work directly with the Chief Communications Officer (CCO) who’ll be accountable for the initiative, for fundraising and reporting, and will be your thought partner on overall strategy. Working at New Energy Nexus You will join a small, global team standing up something new inside a forward-thinking international NGO. NEX operates in 14 countries, with deep installer and SME relationships in every one of the five pilot markets. Your manager will respect your work-life balance and support you in bringing your whole self to work. This role is remote. You'll need strong wifi and the flexibility to work across time zones. A Typical Day You start by reviewing interview notes from a batch of installer conversations in the Philippines and pulling out what they change about your Phase 2 assumptions. Mid-morning, you're on a call with a policy research partner in Indonesia, pressure-testing which net metering reforms are actually winnable inside 12 to 24 months. After lunch, you work through a power map of a target market with a national coordinator, marking where the network is already organised and where it isn't. Late in the day, you trade notes with a global alliance contact on where installer voices could plug into a campaign already in motion, and you check in with the Chief Communications Officer on what you learned this week and what support you need.
