Description
About Smart Freight Centre Smart Freight Centre (SFC) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to reducing emissions from freight transportation through collaboration, transparency, and innovation. We work with governments, shippers, carriers, logistics providers, and NGOs to accelerate the transition to zero-emission freight through harmonized standards, data, and scalable solutions. This role supports SFC’s expansion into Indonesia as part of a new initiative to advance freight decarbonization in partnership with local ecosystem actors. About the position SFC is currently establishing a Freight Decarbonization Program in Indonesia in partnership with ecosystem actors such as WRI, ICCT, and industry stakeholders. The program focuses on building a national ecosystem for freight electrification and emissions accounting, anchored in two core pillars: Freight Emissions Accounting (GLEC / ISO 14083) and Road Freight Electrification. SFC has secured grant funding to deliver this program and is now looking to expand its in-country technical capacity to support execution. The work will involve technical analysis, ecosystem building, coalition development, and implementation planning, in close collaboration with global SFC teams and local stakeholders. You will support and lead SFC’s freight decarbonization work in Indonesia along with Program Lead, with a strong focus on technical delivery and market development.
