About The Position

Climate Catalyst is a U.S. based non-profit dedicated to galvanising the collective power of business, investors, and civil society to influence and accelerate policy change in Asia and Europe. We work to strengthen collaboration and mobilise new actors on pivotal climate challenges to build power and compel political leaders to act at the speed and scale needed to tackle the climate crisis. The Network Coordinator will form part of our European programme team, working closely with the Project Manager on our current chemicals programme to establish and run a “European Chemical Hub.” The Hub is a new initiative aiming to enable dialogue, learning and collaboration between civil society organisations focusing on the toxicity, waste, and climate change aspects of chemical pollution, uniting them behind a common vision and providing cohesion to the European civil society chemical movement in its entirety. This role is initially set as a 12-month contract, with potential to extend subject to funding, and will report into our Project Manager for European programmes.
