Global Program Lead, Installer Voices

Role Description

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.
• These installers are almost entirely absent from the policy processes and media narrative that shape clean energy conditions.
• Installer Voices is a new initiative that aims to identify, train, and connect the most influential installers across five markets.
• You will lead a focused six-month scoping and design phase across Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
• Your role involves extensive outreach and networking with national and international allies.
• This role will evolve into a leadership position if funding for phase 2 is secured.
• You will work directly with the Chief Communications Officer (CCO) for overall strategy and support.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in advocacy, campaigns, policy, public affairs, or program strategy.
• A strategist who can also execute tasks personally.
• Knowledge of the clean energy space, especially solar.
• Strong research and analytical instincts.
• Genuine comfort with ambiguity and a fast start.
• Experience working across cultures, countries, and time zones.
• Exceptional English writing skills.
• Ability to use AI tools thoughtfully.

Requirements

• Design and drive structured research across five markets.
• Coordinate lean national teams and delivery partners in five countries.
• Oversee the design and early testing of core Phase 2 components.
• Define success for Phase 1 and Phase 2.
• Build the impact measurement approach.

Benefits

• Work in a small, global team within a forward-thinking international NGO.
• Respect for work-life balance.
• Remote work flexibility.
