Company Description
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation committed to advancing security of energy supply, economic growth and environmental sustainability through energy policy co-operation. The IEA operates as an autonomous body within the framework of the OECD. Both the IEA and the OECD seek opportunities to work with an increasing number of non-member countries of growing importance to the world economy. The Agency aims to foster the contribution of the energy sector to economic development and environmental sustainability across the globe.
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Inclusive Transitions (EEIT) is tasked with working with all IEA member and partner countries, and engaging globally, to support the design and implementation of best practice policies relating to energy efficiency and also people-centred, inclusive clean energy transitions. It has a strong focus on issues such as labour, social impacts, equality and inclusivity in clean energy transitions.
The first Global Commission for People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions was established by the IEA Executive Director in 2020. It brought together ministers and thought leaders from across the world to identify key principles for ensuring clean energy policies are inclusive and people-centred. This work has set the agenda for a widening engagement and work programme on issues relating to the themes of decent jobs and worker protection; social and economic development; equality, social inclusion and fairness; and people as active participants in clean energy transitions. The IEA launched the Clean Energy Labour Council in 2022, bringing together key labour leaders from around the world to discuss relevant issues related to labour and clean energy transitions. In April 2024, the IEA hosted its first Global Summit on People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions, and the Executive Director announced the formation of the second Global Commission for People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions. This Global Commission has been working closely with the government of Brazil to inform G20 discussions, where voluntary principles for just and inclusive transitions have been endorsed by G20 leaders.
The IEA seeks to recruit a Senior Programme Manager to lead the growing team within EEIT working on issues relating to people-centred transitions. This involves leading the IEA’s developing work in engagement, analysis and best practice across issues such as the labour dimensions of clean energy transitions; equality and gender; and social impacts and inclusivity; and developing IEA’s standing, relationships and impacts in these and related fields.
