Analyst, Climate Change Think Tank, Australia-based

Do you have a desire to make a positive impact on the climate and biodiversity crises by working with an innovative global think tank?  If so, we want to hear from you! 

InfluenceMap is a world-renowned non-profit think tank working on cutting-edge climate and sustainability issues. We are best known for the LobbyMap platform, which analyses corporate policy engagement activities on climate change and biodiversity loss. Our work has been featured in the media globally, used by hundreds of investors, and informed numerous climate campaigns. Other workstreams include the FinanceMap platform – assessing the climate credentials of the financial sector, and the Carbon Majors platform – which tracks emissions from the worlds’ largest polluters.  

With offices in London, New York, Tokyo, and Seoul, this is an opportunity to be part of a team of 65+ friendly and dynamic professionals and to help shape our culture as we continue to grow and evolve as an organisation. You will also have the chance to work with our global network of partners to help develop and share our cutting-edge content.   There will be opportunities for overseas travel to ensure cohesion with our global teams.
