About the Global Gas & Oil Network
GGON is an international non-profit network of civil society organisations established to support global efforts to stop oil and gas expansion and catalyse a just and equitable global phaseout of production in line with the internationally agreed climate target to keep global warming below 1.5°C. This must be achieved through a just transition, at an equitable pace for all countries, in a way that centres the needs of people, communities and biodiversity. Since its creation in 2017, the network has steadily grown to over 300 organisations across more than 60 countries on six continents.
GGON provides movement infrastructure for this diverse group of members and partners through a variety of approaches, including convening critical conversations, coordinating strategy development, commissioning research and analysis, and providing communications tools and training. Where we are invited to, we provide coordination support to a number of national and regional coalitions, and
directly coordinate issue-specific thematic, global working groups. GGON operates with a lean secretariat, which is a fully virtual team based in several continents across multiple time zones.
The Position
The International Policy Manager will be responsible for leading GGON’s international climate policy and politics work across the network and will coordinate partners across the network’s member organizations to help deliver a fair and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. The successful candidate will be a passionate, and experienced international policy strategist, with a commitment to promoting social justice and a track record of successful collaboration with large and diverse coalitions.
The International Policy Manager will lead a small team; coordinate and lead the GGON International Working Group; and be responsible for overseeing the finalisation and implementation of the GGON multi-year international policy strategy in collaboration with GGON members.
